Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Arrived last night and very pleased with it. Got it from a vendor here in Finland and was lucky to get the last one...Otter's website in German says there are delays in deliveries due to ongoing shortages of raw materials...

About 3.75"/9cm All stainless construction, liners, bolster, pins, there is a carbon version too. The Spear is long and slim, I like it but others may want a broader type. Strong pull 8+ no half stop, great W&T, very sharp out of the box, zero blade-play, no discernible gaps, handle slabs are thick and excellently turned/radiused, very comfortable in hand, all pins totally flush (no raised burrs or sink-hole eye sores) The wood is far prettier than this poor pic, it's called Sapele a type of African Mahogany, nice grain and lighter colour. Cost around 50€ which I feel is very reasonable given he quality. One fault, end spring not cleanly cut off, slight angle but a diamond file can fix it. Seen badly cut springs on GECs ann English& French knives so this is a mild offender.

Shown here with 'pimped' GEC 15 for size

I forgot how big these guys are. Nice looking pattern overall.
Oh boy, what an absolute beauty! This is my favorite GEC pattern ever made.... The one you have pictured is my back up safe queen and I sometimes use the orange camel bone. Never was able to procure the stag version but I still hope for it!

Enjoy it! Perfect size IMHO!
 
TheFactor TheFactor Yes, impressive deal you got there, Bonestag is very fine stuff for ageing potential, Barehead really suits the pattern in my view, look forward to seeing more of it in the future.

Thanks, Will

Thanks Will !
Very happy and excited for this one. This bone Stag has some really nice character and feel in hand. Needless to say I also love the pattern !

I made a trade for this knife.
I'm so happy to finally have a #77 Jack.
Especially with everybody showing their new Barlows.
I really love the Red Micarta, it's going to look so good with a dark patina... and the hotdog shield makes it perfect!
I’m obviously real behind in this thread, and I know I’ve seen this knife already in the Totin’ one. That’s likely the best 77 I’ve ever seen
