Jeff, there’s that killer modded Eureka again! Always nice to see that one.Beautifully pocket-worn bone on your #97, Tyson. Here's a couple of my favorite GEC's patinas.

Never liked "tractor green" , but these turned out really nice. More like emerald green.

Hemlock Gold is made out of people! It's made out of people!!!"Good as Gold" etch. This that newfangled hemlock gold color?
Etches are fun and temporary, if you use your knives.Loss of etch through use is a badge of honour, Sir. In the case of a minority of GEC's recent etches (e.g. the Bunny Knife) some might say it's an improvement too. As I daresay you know, etches were never intended to stay on a knife for long after purchase, often serving to differentiate one retailer's stock from another's, or even just to prove to a customer that a knife was as yet unsold/unused. Today, of course, degradation of the etch can exclude your knife from Safe Queen status - how dreadful!
Think GEC might be knocking it out the park with this run. Think there's still more unannounced ones to come

A little late but thought I’d chime in since I have some experience with Richlite. It is paper Micarta. They make cutting boards out of it. My kitchen counters and bathroom counters are Richlite and I built a skate ramp and used Richlite for the riding surface. Super durable stuff.So more similar to micarta than delrin
Great jigging GEC!Mrs. Crappies Urban Jack came in today. Not really my thing; the pulls are a little light, and I can’t even come close to getting the comb through my beard, but all in all GEC did a good job on this one. I like the Elderberry, and the jigging is nice too.
