Fresh! Spiral Cut Buffalo Horn GEC Northfield #46 , one of 9 made December 2011, unserialized.  I'll take a better picture in the daylight...

I just looked it up to see what it was all about, honestly it sounded like a foreign steel, but I know GEC wouldn't do that. It may have a funny name, but I wouldn't mess with it, it sounds great.

Great info on the steel, Johnny!  If it is used to cut other steel, mere wood and bone will be no obstacle.  I may have to get one just to try it out.

I'm not familiar with WANDO but O-1 has been around for a long time. Randall Made Knives here in Orlando uses it on their non-stainless blades and it seems to be a real workhorse. I don't know why it was chosen by Mike at CK over the 1095 that GEC regularly uses unless it was to keep the price down?

That steel sounds tough:

WANDO belongs to that class of oil-hardening tool steels known as non-deforming steels. It will develop full hardness on oil quenching from a relatively low temperature with minimum volume change, hence non-deforming. It is a general-purpose tool and die steel. Among its many applications are dies for many purposes, shear blades, taps and reamers.

I agree Luca, I would love to see a bigger one to match his little brother. That would be an awesome work knife set, I love the introduction of this pattern for GEC. I think they will nock this one out of the park, another great pattern passed through GEC production.

They have nailed everything so far, so I can't wait to see this one.

Thank's Craig, I guess I saw that, but I do need new glasses. And yes, I have purchased from there in the past and been satisfied. Robert and Jan, I don't have a Moose, never held one, but sure as hell want to see more made. I think it's a pattern I could take a true liking to. I love the equal end cigar style, just as I like the new smaller #68. A Moose has two perfect blades, the clip and the spear, and for me that's an all in one, and it's just the right length for me.

LOL...

Robert I will surely be pulling for a new moose for you soon.
