Turn Your Radio On!

No worries Charlie!

I got in touch with a greenie, thanks! I'll leave you to your radio listening and outstanding work with GEC.

Oh my! This is going to be a must have for any GEC enthusiast. I'm sure glad I'm on a list!
 
I have one from the original GEC run. The only reason why I am going to grab one of these is because the nail nicks. They look so much easier to grab hold of
 
Yeah... that´s it!

When the wallett allows, I need to have two of these... one for work and one for spare time ;) (as an excuse)
 
The Ebonies are being shipped to the Dealers as we speak!
They should finish them tomorrow or so. Next week, the Bone handles will start going together! The river is flowing, slowly but surely!!

What's up with the other wood pictured above? For the Harness jack?
 
Will the Harness Jack look essentially like the pictured Ebony Radio with a awl in place of the caplifter?
 
I like those! Now I need to find out who has the best conditions for shipping to Germany ;)

Very close! It will have the punch, and its own etch of course!
 
I think this is the first time I have released the back label, before I have received the knives. Sorry if it is a little off the cuff, but I finished it minutes before the deadline - just long enough to get a helpful proof-reading!
Any typos are strictly mine!!

I see that GEC has added some pictures to their site, about the progress of the Diamond SFOs.

It's nice to see that old walnut again - my Dad would be proud (I hope!)
He had always intended to make a gunstock with it, but I think would admit, that he had enough custom rifles!
I asked for an new profile for the caplifter, for my version of the Radio knife. I was delighted when Bill took my suggestion to build a Radio knife, and now I will be able to offer this one, tweaked a little toward my old DE.
Here are some comparison shots, first the old one along with the "boy's" version.

And here's the "Tweaked" Diamond version - see the differences?

And here are the semi-finished Diamond punches. The design is loosely based on a couple of ols patents, once again, "Tweaked" by advice from a couple of custom makers that we all know and love, to provide good performance! The "lentil" at the tip is a heat sink to protect the temper!

OMG!!! I'm thrilled! Those are just beautiful Charlie! I'm posed to pounce as soon as Blood Red Bone is available... :)
