I just paid for my Mesquite Wood GEC#23LL invoice. I bought a CASE XX Pocket Worn Harvest Bone Tribal lock knife , Seal1 CLP paste , and a braided lanyard black leather. I had to prove , I was thankful.
I just receive an E-mail from Kifer Cutlery , my Blue Camel bone GEC#23LL has been shipped. I am sweating it out on the Mesquite-wood #23LL invoice. I got skunked on the GEC#29 Snakewood , last year. It aint yours until it's in your hand.
The CKs SFO GEC#23LL mesquite wood knife were released today. GEC had plenty of production photos. That mesquite-wood looks just like burl !
Kenneth I know what you mean. It is an addition.
I have a real problem. I just bought my second GEC#23LL Beaver gnawed jigged cherry wood knife. I also bought two bottles of honing oil , so my shipping was free. I should end up with thirteen GEC#23/23LL knives. I have blade sickness , awful !
I own two GEC blue camel bone knifes. A GEC#93 and a GEC#62 , both a stone-washed blue. I am a dark blue fan. I own CASE XX Blue giraffe bone knives too. I was so happy to contact Kifer Cutlery in minutes after the GEC #23LL posting. I spotted a factory production line photo of the Mesquite #23LL on another Knife forum.
I have one arm left hand with a soft thumb nail. I open my gator snap knives with my feet and a CASE XX blade pick. New knives have to be loosened up or the stay tight forever. I put an old t-shirt in my lap. I wrap an old polishing cloth around the blade. Work the blade back and forth. Lube the knife after you are finished. I own a large GEC Sheath. I am going for twelve GEC#23/23LL knives on this run. I sent my #23 Northfield Antique Autumn Natural two blade to Darren O. in California. Darren will remove the main blade and the beefy spey blade will remain.
Jan...Absolutely, those are tinted perfectly! I'd like to see more of the blue bone on other patterns, as long as the coloring doesn't become too dark.
Cant wait to see it Kenneth
