Rotten to the bone. Are there any Blade Forum approved dealers who have not dropped their Banana Bone allotment yet?

DLT dropped this morning. I think they were the last Blade Forum approved dealer.
Luckily, I didn't have to worry about whether I'd get one this morning.

The pattern and the coloring on your RB is beautiful. I’ve read a number of posts from some who, perhaps because of the shield, didn’t warm up to this variant, but I look forward to getting mine.
I'd like to echo the calls for a run of 61s and/or 62s. I believe the newer staff at GEC have enough experience under their belt now to take a try at a more intricate design like a Congress..They are very nice to carry with the near sunken joints
Also, and I'm sure in in the minority here, I'd love to see another run of 89 splitback whitlers. And a stockman, ANY STOCKMAN, in stainless!!
Emphasis mine. I was really hoping they'd do a run of stainless #82s. This upcoming run is both exciting, because I love the pattern, but also a little disheartening because I know they won't do a stainless run anytime soon probably.
Quick question for you GEC guys. I recently rediscovered a knife I bought several years ago. A burnt stage 15 code 251208 J. After doing a little research I figured out what the code means and what it is. My question is the main blade has 1 of 50 on it. What does this signify? And no I'm not asking the value. It is a beautiful knife that I've started to carry and have no intention of getting rid of. I really appreciate the workmanship and it's nice to carry along with my usual modern spyderco that's always on me.
Thanks
Thanks

That means that it is one knife of 50 produced with those covers. If it is serialized (number on the bolster) then there were 50 produced that are numbered and probably some that aren't.

If it's a 251208 you have a GEC 25 not a 15. Nice knife! The J was likely written on the tube by the dealer to identify which burnt stag was pictured on their site and not part of the model number.

Without a picture I can only assume that the "15" is the serial number stamped on the bolster.

Yes, the J stands for jack, meaning it has the short bolster and not the longer barlow bolster.

That makes sense. I thought he was trying to say he had a model 15. On that note, there's something I miss about serialized runs.
Yea, sorry I misspoke. The 15 is on the bolster. Thanks for clearing up exactly what I have. I've watched the YouTube video of the factory tour and read up on GEC and I must say I am very impressed with the company. I think I'm going be be adding a few more to my collection. Thanks again.
