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.  There must be another color step to these knives.  #92 Eureka jack
