New run of 54s

It would seem that USPS has been quite busy today delivering 54's!!! I also was the recipient of a mail run. The M&G's are an early Fathers Day Gift from Pam! :D

Dang, these M&G's are some beautiful knives. I hesitated at that price-point, but now....man, sure are purdy. Nice job, Half/Stop.
 
I received the honey bone #54 today from M&G. Without a doubt this is the most beautiful knife I have purchased to date. "Caveat" - I do not own any custom knives, only production ones. So, having said that, I was absolutely thrilled with this knife. M&G can and should be very proud of their efforts and the folks at GEC are maintaining very high standards. Will never part with this one!

@cbr1000, I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your shipped knives. That is just terrible.

Ron, beautiful lineup. I really like the coloring of your M&G Honey Bone. That one is especially nice.

Bob, thanks my friend! I am extremely happy with the M&G examples I received! You would have laughed if you had saw me ordering them. Pam and I were coming home from town last Saturday when I showed her some of the beautiful M&G's that had been posted. She was driving and I was surfing! I had hesitated to purchase these because to be honest my knife budget lately would rival Trumps proposed budget!:eek: Being the wonderful sweet loving beautiful wife that she is, she said why don't you buy those for your Fathers Day gift. :D So, I immediately said pull this car over! :eek: She pulls in the Cracker Barrel parking lot and I go to work. When I placed the order I got the next to last of the Ebony models. They had very limited stock on the Honey Bone. :D I am blessed in so many ways! ;)

All beauties! As to which one to designate as a user; I would have an extremely hard time keeping that Appaloosa Bone bottled up. I'd be pulling that sweetie out of my pocket twenty times a day!
 
Due to financial setbacks of an unpleasant kind, I had to forgo the opportunity of getting one of those Appaloosa Bones as shown above. My loss will certainly be somebody else's gain....:(

This is the only Big Jack I picked up from the new run and I have to say that I really like the single blade version. It is slim enough to ride in my back pocket and not feel bulky, but is still a substantial knife. I have a two blade version from 2014 and there a marked difference in the girth. That one is usually carried in a CK leather clip slip.
Construction nice and tight with no gaps. Pull is a bit hard at almost an 8, yet oddly there is a soft closure with little snap.
Blade very sharp as have been all of my recent GEC knives. I stropped it a bit and it has a fine edge for what light cutting chores I do.
I really like the spear blade and the long pull.
Nice deep jigging. Dye is a little pink to white on the corners of the pile side, but that's okay. I'm thinking it's more of a strawberry than blood red.
In short, I like this knife a lot and it will see plenty of carry time.
 
Thanks for this thread! I kept coming back and looking at it and began to wonder why my notification hadn't come in. Well, it had and I missed it back on the 22nd. My email program is a convoluted affair and I miss stuff regularly....

My Burlap Micarta from DLT is on it's way!!!! :)

Beautiful knife and photo Ratbert! The slim profile and larger size make for a terrific edc IMO.

Half/Stop, which of the M&Gs is your favorite....ebony or bone?

I am particularly fond of Ebony handled knives. Ebony is actually one of my personal favorites and the darker the better. That being said, the Honey colors and the textures on the M&G handles in this run are really beautiful! I am extremely pleased with my example. So if I have to pick a favorite between these two it will be the Honey Bone version.:)
 
Hey folks,

I just received my 54 beaver tail in the mail and couldn't be more excited to open it up. The scales and overall pattern are fantastic. I really like the way the jigged wood turned out, and the beaver shield is great. It is truly a great knife.

My new red jigged bone arrived today, It is gorgeous. Better than I had hoped for. Love the size, love the weight. It feels solid and substantial. Strong pull. A definite keeper! Need more like it. Wish I had ordered two!

Kudos to DLT for making it happen.
