Those micartas were some absolutely wonderful knives. The quality was extraordinary, even by GEC standards.
Ooh, nice pair. Without your typical patina, though, buzz. Those safe queens?
Hey, thanks for the card, @knifeswapper that's a classy thing to do!View attachment 1045995
I thought the card was a special effort as well. It also served to remind me that I was a dunce for not going with the Maple Burl. Those turned out to be the best of the bunch, in my opinion.
What did you pick? You mean you turned down a reservation for the maple, or your just only picked one?
Honestly, burl does not typically excite me as much as more straight grained woods do. Some Maple Burl that I have seen has been less than exciting. Because of that, I opted to only reserve the Blood Red and the Buffalo Bone. The Blood Red was a disappointment due to the less than adequate dye job and I opted for a second on the run of Buffalo Bone, thinking it would make an adequate user. Once I get past the blade rap, it will be a fine knife.
The moment I saw the first finished Maple Burl, I knew that I had erred. It is stunning and I have now learned my lesson.
I've seen some good-looking re-dye jobs on the red jigged. They make very handsome effects that result in deep rich red. A lot of the buffalo bone knives were really attractive. Let's see yours! Maybe include a shot of the blade rap, too?
I really like that buffalo horn. Would like to see the pile side, too. Looks almost like ivory, definitely could be a dress-up knife.

This one makes me sorry that I’m not on FaceBook. My wife won’t let me sign up. She’s afraid I’ll find some long lost girl friend and run off. Your African Blackwood 85 is elegant and gorgeous.
It's possible. But I found mine next door.This one makes me sorry that I’m not on FaceBook. My wife won’t let me sign up. She’s afraid I’ll find some long lost girl friend and run off. Your African Blackwood 85 is elegant and gorgeous.
