Clint, that's how my luck runs sometime but the wait can be enjoyable and the arrival of the new knife that much more exciting.

Graig...

Both the #53 and #66 are excellent choices.  In my opinion, GEC, Tuna Valley and Moore Maker Knives are taking some market shares of what was once W. R. Case and Sons.  The buyers of Case normally are buying them for collection purposes.  Generally speaking, the buyers of the GEC, Tuna Valley and Moore Maker Knives buy them for use.  I know Moore Maker sells many of their knives to cattlemen, ranchers, farmers as a working knife.  For this reason, Dave and his Dad Wayland have a very critical eye for defects and reject and return everyone they find.  GEC and Tuna Valley are every bit the perfectionist as well.  I just love these knives.

LOL! a note: Of the 48,000+ knives in stock....the one I wanted to buy was out of stock.  LOL!!  I will have to wait.

What do I get next...........hmmm, I think a Tidioute #53 "Cattle Knife" in ebony sounds good. And/or , a Northfield #66 Stockman. Maybe a stag Sleeveboard...maybe  a Buffalo Horn Conductor...maybe.............

Thanks Jan,

Good to be back. Missed you all too! I have been sulking because I haven't been able to afford any new knives (or at least not too many). I tried living vicariously through everyone else here and that worked for a bit but I have been watering at the mouth over some of the newer patterns. I did pick up a couple of GEC's to tide me over and have been pulling out some of my older GEC's to enjoy and that helped out a lot. But it always seems like your favorite knife is the one you just got (or the one you plan on getting next)! That is the good part and bad part of knife collecting!

My other two came today! I can't take any pictures today, it's misting outside and I prefer taking pictures outside. 

Well, anywho......I'm just more tickled. I LOVE the #33, and the Sleeveboard...........well.........I have no words. It is such a cool little knife! Tight, solid.

I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow and do a little review.

I'm hooked.

I want to use one SOOO bad!

I know Tom, but that means more expense buying one for using and one for collecting. I like the plainer everyday look of the Tidioute, but, those Northfields are just so sexy with all the extra bells and whistles!

Excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall.....

Craig,

Get yourself a GEC knife sleeve and you can carry it and use it while still keeping it new looking! I try to buy a Tidioute knife in patterns that I collect Northfields in and use the Tidioute. You could just buy two of a Northfield too and use one of them! Welcome aboard though, enjoy your new GEC's!!!

My little review on my first is up there in the #33 Conductor discussion.

GEC lists the #33 as 3 3/8" closed? Mine measures 3 1/4" closed.
