Sweating it out waiting on a Gunstockjack notification for the Charlie Blackjack #86 knife. I got 4 #86 knives and 54 GEC knives total in my awesome blade collection. I have to keep telling myself , " I'm not going to die if I miss this one !". Baw-ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha !
I have been meaning to post an updated mock up with the details sorted outGEC has finally got the Black Jack into production!! Phew!!Here's a photoshopped pic of the shield on the handle! The blades and rivets are not correct.
I like big shields, needless to say!!
The order may not get to all the dealers early enough for the holidays!We'll see!!View attachment 1247099
It is going to look wonderful! Hopefully soon we will have some real photos to look at 
Oops!! The other side!!
!
I think GEC has done another hit for us!!!
You have ESP, Boxer!!! Bill took the first two knives from production and sent them to me!!
For the first time in all my SFOs (I think?) I have one to show before the knives hit the dealers!!
They will be sent out soon though . . . . . . . .
Without further delay:

As usual, I apologize for my crusty, old scanner!! And for the fingerprints!!
Walk and talk are beautiful - firm but not nail-breaking! In the rush for production, the blades have gotten the full polish treatment instead of a matte finish, the etches are subtle, and I love both blades!! That long thin pen will be a worthy helper to the large, broad Clip main!!
The pins on this one are very flush, some only slightly below the finish, and all the metal is either steel or nickel.
I hope it's not too much longer to wait!! If anyone wants more pics, tell Me!!
