Kenneth,

I agree that they are beautiful and as you predict they will sell out fast. "Overpriced" seems to be a matter of opinion on these. I would not pay what will be asked of them nd many old timers will tell you a knife is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

These knives seem to go against the "norm" for a faction today's collectors. I have seen so many flippers enter the knife arena. Buy a knife, own it long enough to show it off and sell it to buy the next shiny sharp object. Typically these knives fall into that category and yes they make a tidy profit.

I am very old school, I buy what I like and 98% of what goes into my collection stays there. Buying into the GEC in the first 4 years gave me the opportunity to own some of those extremely low numbered runs and a good many 1 of 1's. Even some proto's of knives that never went into production. I own zero of the Northwoods. They are worth a good bit to me because of what they add to the story of my collection, just not sure another collector would not see my value as "overpriced"

I ordered a #29 bloodwood and it is on the way too me. The snakewood and bloodwood knives are both selling out fast in this #29 stockyard whittler run.

One half of the #29 Snakewood Stockyard Whittlers pre-orders was canceled. GEC made the #29 Bloodwood knives to fill in the void. I bet that I was the first one to put in a pre-order on the web. I was canceled out on Aug.22th. I ended up with a #29 Sienna jigged bone and a #29 Bloodwood. I custom ordered a fixed blade knife with snakewood scales. When GEC fails to deliver , go custom.

Looks like the camel bone is smooth autumn gold bone. I heard people calling it rotten banana bone , but these scale are a different color.

Does this look like antique calico bone ? Good thing these knives were preorder unseen. T here must be another color step to these knives. #92 Eureka jack
