Got my #38 Special Abalone Rendezvous Special back from GEC yesterday. Quick shipping on this one. It's all fixed up, no handle bubbles I notice. It's reassuring to receive great service like this, I sure appreciate it.
Here is the knife stand my girlfriend got me loaded up:

That's a 2016 Rendezvous knife, the stainless Mustang in primitive bone.Nice stand, Logan. Is the acorn shield knife in the middle a stainless #74 single blade? And what covers?

Honestly, that breaks my heart a little.
I'm currently working with one of my senators to introduce a new amendment to the constitution banning traditionals with end caps. It's a hard battle to win, but oh what a worthy cause.Super psyched for the up coming 15s, hope Charlie's is single blade long pull with end cap. Why not, I hope they all have end caps. My wallet is ready!![]()
I pretty much ALWAYS prefer a crescent nick to a longpull. But there are at least two exceptions....#92 Eureka Jacks and...#15 spears. But, in the case of the #15s, I probably like the crescent nick as much as the longpull, so I'm happy either way. The only crescent nicked spear #15 I have is pinch-able, so that's a huge plus over its longpull sibling, even if it's not quite as attractive in my opinion. So there's a lot to love about the newly released production schedule.

I don't think I've ever seen a 74 Trapper in tortoise shell acrylic, that looks awesome!

Did they patch it or replace the covers? Did you ever figure out if it was a natural flaw or mineral oil/WD40? Glad you got it back - looks great!
Any thoughts on why GEC has not done a shadow pattern other than the Farm and Field? I think something like a shadow 92 talon would be neat to see - if it can get past all these newly proposed knife laws above![]()
Yep, it was the 2016 Rendezvous Special...I find it really really interesting and strange how little anyone posts Rendezvous knives.
