Hey, do I win something if I'm the very last one to get my Bunny?
Lots of cool numbers left: 440, 452, 458, 475, 500, and of course . . . 550!

I believe 550 is spoken for already, Jeff, but there are good numbers still unclaimed (publicly anyway).

I'm sure a call or memo to GEC would get you a sticker!!!

I just got mine and it is really nice, thank you!

The bubble wrap though. Is that new standard for GEC? No more paper?

384 checking in. Got the tracking number on new years eve which said USPS was waiting for the package until this morning when it suddenly said it was out for delivery.

Its a great little knife, F&F is outstanding. Its the same size as the 15 with the slight handle curve and a nice thickness with the two blades. Main clip is about 7 pull, the pen is maybe a 6 or 6.5, and really snappy and satisfying. Super happy with the knife, it is 100% going to get some use. It is well worth the wait.

Thanks to Spark for all the work he has put into getting the knife out to everyone and for giving me the go ahead to acquire one myself despite being just a hair under the requirements to preorder at the time. And of course a big thanks to Charlie, Meako, and all the folks at GEC for all their work in making this beautiful specimen a reality.

Apples beware!

#327 came in today!



I put it on snack duty immediately. It's a great slicer. The pull is a little stiff for my preference, but that's probably because most of my slippies are some version of a Buck 301 or 303. I'm used to a lighter pull. It isn't quite as stiff as my A. Wright lambsfoot, though. Everything else about the knife is great.



Still curious about when #315 will surface.

Really liking all these pictures, keep them coming folks. And the longer I can go before getting my tracking info then the better chances I have at having a higher serial number, would really like to be one of the last 50
