2019 GEC 29 Humpback/Stockyard Whittler Thread

I was also able to snag one! Can’t wait to see what it looks like in person! Now I just need to score a snakewood and I’ll be done with my #29 wish list!

I resisted the urge on the Coffee House Acrylic. It was extremely difficult.

The only resistance I had was trying to hit the check out button fast enough
I think my heart was racing faster then a Hummingbird lol .
What a rush that gave me a Northwoods flash back except with a victory hence no one stole it out of my cart

Why is this red acrylic named Coffee House?

 

[Danke42]

Red

Effect: Red increases your guests' heart rates and can make them hungry. It can also make your guests eat quickly and leave, which is useful for increasing your table turnover rate.

I'd guess if you have a coffee house you don't want folks hanging around all day after spending a couple bucks.

Just a name they came up with, I guess, but it's been used before. Beautiful material!

Pretty typical to rename the same covers on different patterns .
At least from what I’ve seen over the years but regardless I couldn’t agree more looks beautiful!

red or coffee house acrylic that is a sweet looking knife, thanks for sharing

I put a sweet edge on the blades yesterday. Today I tried to see how thin I could slice an onion. I'm not technically "forcing" a patina, just cuttin' stuff up.

Nice edge !
I must say it appears to be onion whittling sharp now

Now that knife will bring a tear to your eye everytime you use it.

I bet the edge r8shell put on it is sharp enough for no-more-tears slicing action.

Anyone know if the Snakewood 29s are exclusive to CK?

 

[Boxer .45]

I have no idea why any of these are still in stock at dealers? I might understand the grits and molasses, it looks like an acquired taste , but the rest of them look great, and its really a great knife too.
I understand the awl doesn't appeal to everyone, but theres one on my SAK and I just don't use it if I don't need it.
I didn't even want one and now I have two. Just really trying to figure it out? No skin off my back either way though. Just missing out is all.

I'm fighting myself daily not to order another...

No they will be available to all GEC dealers.

SHHHHH

You'd have to auction off your Ramen Noodle stock though.

 

[abiggs]

Bloodwood...check!!

 

[Kiro]

Ok, got myself a snakewood. Psyched. It will be my first of this run. I've been enjoying everyone's pictures and info so much, but waiting for the Northfields. I think the 29 will get a lot of pocket time.
