That is a beautiful knife! The stag has great color, and both blades have great shapes. The spay blade looks like a sodbuster-ISH blade with the tip ground down. If you're right handed, that slightly swollen stag on the one side will fill your palm for a better grip. Just my opinion. Gorgeous!!! THANKS for this viewing, Michael! Just realized I'm not subscribed. Got it all tooken a care of!
Awww shit I've been waiting on this one!! I had to watch this video twice, with lots of rewinds and pauses thrown in too (like I was watching a Shania Twain video)!! What an absolutely EPIC knife. Holy smokes that stag looks like caramel popcorn! I'm gonna call that Cracker Jack Stag!! I'd seen the pics but cot damn seeing it on video is a whole different level of amazing. I didn't realize what a bear trap that thing is!! The action on that drop point main blade!! 😳🤯. BRUH. It sounds like the back spring is actually MAD at you or something!! The only GECs I have with that heavy of a spring are my 23s!! Those early GECs are freaking BEASTS. Beautiful edge you put on both of those blades too (am I imagining it or did you put a bit of a wider bevel on them than you normally do?). Shark as Shit!! The number 148 on the tube and bolster refers to the knife being #148 out of 199 total Burnt Stag 73s produced in 2007 (I know you know this cause it was YOU who told ME about those production totals when you got the knife ha!). It's crazy to think that knife is almost 20 years old!! That right there is one of the best GECs ever made. FACTS. I love my 73 Remington Baby Bullet, but it ain't even in the same league as that one. I think that's a better knife than even your 99 Wall Street (because lock back!)(fight me on it!!). It was super rad seeing the 71, 72, 73 & 74 all lined up together like that man! Like a freaking car show or something!! Thanks for showing this Grail!!! Easily one of your best videos, Richter!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Crazy I knew I’ve seen the production total numbers just couldn’t remember them. Idk about it being as good as the 99. I think that one edges it out just from the thinness of the stag. But yes this one is crazy snappy, right? Now that I rewatched my video idk if I actually wanna carry it or not. It’s so sweet and I already have eleventy point seven nine One eight two users. Loved the comment buddy. I knew you’d enjoy the video
Awesome vid man I gotta get a gec knife!! I’ll put $200 aside hopefully that will get me one or close to it !! Great video Richter!! SWEEET BLADE AND SCALES !!
Beautiful knife - I'm envious! 148 is your serial number in that run of 199. GEC's inaugural production consisted of both #73s and #23s, commencing in August 2006 and going into 2007. I have a #73 from 2006, one of my most prized GECs because it's a piece of history.
Man that sucker is sharp!! I'm not sure exactly what year they started writing on the caps instead of the bottom/back of the tube, but I've got a 2008 & its done the same way as yours. The stag on yours is PHENOMENAL!!! I mean drop dead gorgeous 👍 Congrats on another Grail level knife 👏
Hey mr. R I have a chance to get a #47 viper the bluecattle bone version new for $400 with shipping and taxes...I thought this is a pretty good price for this version of the viper that says authentic northern cattle bone on blade😮 the awesome version I'm pretty sure you have it ..the one says tiddioute

@richterknives ok thanks bud! I wanted it badly ,but first I had to get an opinion from the rec Dr.😉
That’s way high bud. 2-250 is what you should be shooting for tops.
