I'm especially looking forward to the new GEC #72 Lockbacks in American Elk, Burnt Stag and Jigged Bone that show on the GEC Production Schedule for June.
Is there any word on these or have they perhaps been rescheduled for later? My bank account wonders....

Yeh. GEC comes up with some really interesting jigging patterns...and a lot of them. A person could collect only one of each jigging pattern and still have a sizable collection. I'm not sure I've seen any one manufacturer come up with so many jigging variations. Seems like there were only a hand full of patterns used by the old makers.
I don't necessarily like all the patterns GEC uses, but I do appreciate the fact that they do them. And they do a great job of creating patterns for certain knives, as with the Blue Fishnet for Kate.
