I like that Root beer float Outlaw. Each one is a bit different.....you could have a whole collection of them! LOL! I like that Bocote Too. And the jigged bone in the pictures on their site looks really good. Hmmm........
Any bets that they'll do a stockman version on this frame sometime?
I know what burnt stag is. And UN-burnt stag is....not burnt or natural. But, in GECs descriptions, what is the difference between "Natural Stag" and "Genuine Stag"? Seems like those two would be one and the same.
You're right really close ...except Genuine Stag comes from stag horn rolls were GEC will then cut to form handles , Natural stag is all ready cut into slabs from a supplier and won't need to be burnt because of the appearance....
Jan, if you mean the GITD Bullnose? I have a couple of SAK's that have GITD scales and ya know what? They really don't do a whole lot of glowing when you take them out of your very dark pocket. After the novelty of charging them with a lamp or a flashlight a couple of times to show your friends wears off, they just become regular scales with a weird color--yellow/green in the case of SAK's.
Since you asked. *grin*
I wish I had grabbed a regular orange one when I had the chance!
Thanks, Jan! I was looking for it yesterday but couldn't seem to find it. The orange one, that is. And, yes! The GEC GITD scales appear to be kind of a translucent white--at least from the pics I've seen.
Thanks again for the heads-up on the orange Bullnose!
Jan, I must be stuck on stupid because--just like yesterday when I looked--other than the photo of that orange Bullnose on GEC's website I still can't find any place where it might be available for purchase. Am I missing something here, or did they already sell out?
I can't tell you how happy I am that these were release again! When they came out earlier this year I didn't pay too much attention to them. That is until I saw a picture someone had posted in another forum. I love orange! But it was a close-up of the tang stamp that really put me over the top on this knife. I mean, really! "REDNECK FARM TOOL" I had to have one! But, alas! By the time I saw that picture, with that close-up of the tang stamp, they were all gone!
But now I have one reserved and it will be sent to me just as soon as the dealer receives his order from GEC. Which should be this week! Yippy Skippy! I'm a very happy camper tonight! lol.
Oh, well! I guess I was right the first time when I was wondering whether I was stuck on stupid because I couldn't find a dealer who actually had one! That's also one more reason why I should actually start reading what things say. Like instructions n' stuff!
It's really okay, though, that it's no longer a "REDNECK." I just thought that the redneck tang and pivot screw marking was cool and quirky. I'm about as far from being a redneck as one person could possibly be. The fact that it's a high quality orange sodbuster should more than compensate for the lack of any particular marking.
btw -- That link you posted. Duh! I never even saw that page with those pictures yesterday, before I ordered one from Collector Knives. All I saw was GEC 's product pic (the one I posted below) and projected my desires upon it without really even reading what IT said. Double Duh!
In any event. Yay! I have a Farm and Field Tool headed my way! And it is ORANGE.....isn't it? I hope it's orange??? lol
Yes, sir! I plan on giving it a lot of pocket time. I'm curious about the O1 myself. I'll be posting some pics just as soon as it arrives. Which I hope will be fairly soon. Collector Knives should get them in and mine sent out, hopefully, sometime in this next week. I'll keep ya posted, though, fersure!
That 's a really interesting comparison!. With all of that manganese and tungsten, not to mention vanadium, that O1 looks like it should work great in that Bullnose. I suspect that it will be a lot tougher to sharpen that the 1095, though? I'm really itchin' to get that Bullnose in my hand!
From what I read around and about the net, Outlaws are selling at a pretty good clip. With many saying it's going to be hard not getting more than one!
I don't know why, but it just looks "Old West" to me.
(Maybe it's the pictures GEC has in the background on their site? LOL!)
