Great stuff, Trand, especially love the rare and colorful #48s!

Here are some rare Cuban Stockmen I was fortunate enough to pick up in 2014, from top to bottom:

2011 Burnt Stag, 11 made
2007 Pond Bone, 13 made
2008 Caribou Stag, 10 made
2011 Ancient Kauri Wood, 4 made

I also added a rare user Cuban in ram's horn, only 11 made. Followed by a primitive bone #73 (13 only) and a tortoise acrylic #61 (4 only).

Here's a 2010 56. Number 5 of 25. Then and now. I'm surprised there aren't a few of each of theses knives around the forum.

Heck of a haul there, Trand. You always seem to get gorgeous GECs. Kudos to you. :thumbup:

My #42 (two blade) is #6 of 35. At the time, it was all I could find in that pattern that I liked. So it's a user.

Also, its kinda fun looking through GEC's numbers to see what they've done for the year.

Great looking #62. It doesn't seem like that pattern gets too much love.

Thanks Joey, I was very lucky to add some rare versions of my favorite knives. I wasn't able to make it to the GEC Rendezvous this year to pick out my own but we have great folks here who helped me out :thumbup:

Trand, I'm still missing 5 Cubans, but they'll be hard to find. The production numbers for all 5 of the ones I still need equal 25, and two of them were only made 2 each.
