I’ve been praising the knife but have failed to mention that I’m really digging the tube design. Did you do it yourself or does Bill come up with them?

Been awhile since I've set my alarm for a GEC release and had the old heart thumping while going through checkout! I wasn't quite fast enough, but it was still fun to feel the excitement again, lol. The speed that the dealer sold out of stock, even with the markup, just goes to show how much of a winner this one is!
Your eye for design, and knowing what we'll yearn for is unmatched Charlie!
Congrats to everyone who scored!

Another strike out here, but it was a fun hunt. I'll have to try for a Streaked Ebony or Ironwood 81 when those are released and just enjoy everyone's pics of these sweet City Stocks. Congrats to everyone that scored!
Streaked ebony will be a banger I reckon

I’ve not seen it before if GEC have done it but I imagine it will be similar to what Fontenille Pataud call Royal ebony.

Royal ebony is typically black and white ebony. Royal ebony seems to be popular a popular nickname for it, especially in the U.K.
I’m kind of expecting the release to be Macassar or some streaky west African (gabon/gaboon) ebony.

It’s a very pretty knife! I didn’t seriously try but I congratulate everyone who scored one. That jigging is beautiful.

Charlie, I know it’s called City Stock but damn that looks like it belongs in the pocket of a rancher. It looks great!!!

Saw these when i checked in this morning. Fantastic, and like your description and how you came up with the idea. A simple classic pocket knife.
. Congrats to all who managed to get one. Looking forward to all the photos.
