Sorry Ron! I was going for the whole phonetic thing so I wouldn't be misunderstood or sound like a pirate. I apologize for being inconsiderate or stepping on any toes. Thank you sir. I'll have to get used to the jigged wood.

Oh Ok. I saw where you were a little worried about splintering but you should be ok with the bocote wood. Its a little bit more dense than the bubinga wood. I bought a Furtaker Trapper Beavertail in jigged bubinga wood a couple years ago and carried it for about two months and then dropped it on carpet and busted the handle off one side of it. It could have just been a weak piece of wood or some other freak thing but ether way I wasn't to impressed with the bubinga wood. I re-handled it with some stag scales I had and put the beavertail shield back on it and I loved it after that. I eventually gave it to my dad and he still carries and uses it everyday.

Hey Seth, it has jigged Bocote. At least that is what the GEC web site says. It didn't come with a COA even though it is serialized. Go figure. I would like it better if it was smooth Bocote, but that might take some considerable pocket time. I already have a few GEC EDC's that don't get enough time so I probably don't need another in the rotation.

Hey Tom, Does that Beavertail Lockback you bought have the Jigged Bubinga Wood or the Wenge Wood handles?

Jan,

Ask and ye shall receive! I'm excited about the hats! Our friends at GEC really DO listen to us!!! I like the knife slips too. Can't wait to see the knife boxes.

BTW, my Beavertail came today. I am amazed by the light weight of the knife but I am unsure about the jigged wood. I am a bit worried that it is a splinter waiting to happen. I've been rubbing on it enough to make a genie pop out of it and no splinters so far so I guess it's safe. It may take awhile for me to get used to it so don't worry about competition for other Beavertails from me - at least for awhile. It may just need a little pocket time to smooth it out a bit. I do like the shield though too and the video link that you posted! But I sure don't need another type of GEC knife to start collecting....
