Short run 53 Muskrats are here
There are some short run 53's making their way through and the Muskrats are the first one's out. The first was a 53M in Mexican Bocote (approximately 17 total).
The next three knives are finished with Dymond Wood. Great Eastern has used this before on some short run Hunters. It's a laminated wood product that's been around for a long time used in making gunstocks and more recently knives. It's a great looking, tough material that's very stable. First up is the Black Dymond Wood (approx. 10) which is kind of a cross of Ebony Wood and Buffalo Horn in appearance.
Then the Green Dymond Wood (approx 12).
And finally the Brown Dymond Wood (approx. 8 total) which looks a bit like Bocote.
We should be seeing the 53 Stockman shortly as well.

All of those look really good. I like the bocote (my first GEC was a 25 wharncliffe bocote). The Dymond woods look good too. I bet they make for an extremely durable handle?

The Dymond wood is a really great material. When you look at the brown and black in particular, at first glance it's hard to believe it's a laminated product.
