The first pics of the blades are up, but I think they are just the FFG ones, so far.

Maybe it's the resolution of the photo playing tricks on my eyes, but it looks like the last two numbers on the tang stamp are "15."

What are the shields going to look like?

 

[tstaut]

I believe the reservation page said corset shields.

I think that is correct!

You can have good hopes that knife wasn't in his pocket at the end of the movie Mike!! Think positive!!

I am excited about my canvas micarta!

Not me. I regretfully only ordered one (bloodwood) and it is all mine. I wish that there was an ebony option for this knife.

I like the micarta, and I am glad I put in for one (scandi too!).
But, I can't help but think that the bottom bolster doesn't carry the "work/utility knife" that the micarta implies and just one on the top might have seemed "right".
It doesn't look That off, but slightly so.

I am Really digging that shield though!

 

[draggat]

I think that is correct!

I only went in for one..... the jig bone shown here. I'm glad GEC used a different jigging pattern than the previous model. They look outta sight!

I agree, ebony would be very classy on this knife!!

As long as I didn't screw up my reservation I should have 3 coming - I didn't order a Viper so I could go with extra 85's... none will be on ebay!

I'm hoping the smooth autumn gold turns out really dark... anxiously waiting for more pics.

I'm a little worried about my reservation too. Don't think I screwed it up, but have been waiting on one of these for a while.
