Was getting ready to buy another Case SBJ CV, but would like to see the Viper first. How long do we have to wait????

[JSCHENK]

Long enough for the esquire to come out first I hope.

I know a lot of you are very happy with these new listings from GEC. My wallet is being pulled in other directions

Now if I can make up my mind in time for christmas, my first 73 or a cuban pen? That is my question lol

 

[arizonaranchman]

Ok found it... Leave it to GEC to keep us broke, hehe

Although I love gunstocks, I'm more interested in the # 47 Viper. At last, a production swayback I can get four fingers around.
I envision a barehead with medium length (shorter than a barlow but longer than normal) bolsters and ivory bone in my pocket.

73 first, then the Cuban. Trust me.

I'm in. I was out because of funds but I'm back in because of this one. I need a wharncliff and I like the lines on this one.

The viper is going to be ⅜" longer closed than the TC barlows, at 3-13/16". Right in between the 72 and 73 patterns.

I like that vision, a lot.

I was kind of hoping the viper would be a play on the serpentine motif, and would be GEC's first true peanut.
But this is cool, too.

 

[black mamba]

Just a guess, but did they call it a #47 because it is the #74 pattern upside down?

 

[Sonnemann]

Looks that way. Same with the hay'n helpers!

I was also looking at the Case Swayback but will hold off until GEC releases the Viper pictures.

 

[sunandsteel]

Wouldn't mind seeing some oak wood handles on the #47 or maybe a plum jig bone.

 

[Planterz]

I'm glad they're getting around to making a proper SBJ from the 47/74 frame. I love my Hayn' Helper in NifeBrite, but something in stag or snakewood would be great when I wanted something classier. An all-steel one in ebony would be great too.

Might have to get both as the pen blade makes for some darn good detail work.
