That hangman's Jig Bone is awesome. I have drooled over that very knife for the past year, just never pulled the trigger. Maybe I'll see some moose at the Rendezvous this year???

Luca, I know you prefer the black color handles in the Northfield lineup but you might consider the Red Hangmans Bone that CK has. It has the straight bolsters you like too. I have one of these. CK also has a NF in green velvet acrylic but you've already said that you're not an acrylic fan and not a fan of slanted bolsters. I like the detailing of the NF's but don't mind the Tidioutes for a work knife at all.  Hope that you find one that you like....If GEC won't do it then maybe someone will do an SFO.

Thanks Jim! I don't have a blazer of any color, but I get the picture! That's kind of what I was imagining. I love this place, you ask a question and it gets answered immediately. Thanks again. I might have to get one as a user to tide me over...

Luca..

Think of the darkest area of your Navy Blue Blazer ( winter or summer weight in case you ask) and it's just a tad darker...it's like looking at black but seeing Navy Blue edges

Awwww Shucks! Rats and double rats! Thanks for the bad news Tom, bad for me anyway. I definitely want a #54 Moose and I have seen what's available at all of the distributors, and they're mostly Tidioutes. I'm not a fan of the funky acrylics nor of the variations on stag and that's mostly what's available now. There are some midnight blue available, but they're Tidioutes. How close to black is the midnight blue? Anyone out there know, please let me know. Greg at TSA has some Moose, but they're expensive protos, and they're stag. I'd like to see a #54 Moose in black buffalo horn, or truly black ebony, and I definitely like the swedged blades and love the long pulls on the Northfields. I know GEC is listening and reading our posts here, but so far I haven't seen any action, maybe it's time we do an SFO? And Tom, I know you'll be on that in a hot second!

Sorry Luca, from what I see on Mike at CK.net early bird reservation section it appears that it will be a 66 BJM, but some will have straight bolsters and some will have the slanted that you are not a fan of. I like both types of bolsters and on the #54 frame I like the slanted ones. I would like to see more knives come out in the #54 frame and a moose would be one of them. I have noticed that there are still a fair amount of #54 moose's still on distributors shelves though. Must not be a real big seller with everyone. My only issue with the moose's is that the swedged blade ends kinda cut into my fingers when I'm using them. It does seem to be an underappreciated pattern though. That is good for the new collector though since some pretty cool ones are still out there for sale. Hope that GEC hears your request and makes the knives that you and Robert are looking for!

Yea Luca, let the Moose in....open the door.....Yahoo.......open dat darn door, you all!

Oh, I hope it's not a 3 1/2" slant bolstered, dog legged Moose. Please, say it isn't so. I'd be kinda let down, only because that one's not for me personally, though for others, it may fit their dreams just right. I dream big!

Wait a minute! A moment of joyful appreciation of GEC is due. The fact that there is a tantalizing Moose at the "end of the hallway" is making me jump up and down with anticipation, hope, and potentially unbridled happiness! Robert, are you with me here! Yahoooooooo! Louder!!! I can't here ya! YAAAHOOOOOOOOO!
