2020 GEC #62 Easy Pocket Congress and Pocket Carver Thread

[Old Engineer]

Sorry Harry. Was in a hurry to get home from work and eat

Other side:

Has a bit of a dish on that side, making the grip quite comfy without being too chunky

Mineral oil flush, and a bit of a tickle on the sharpmaker, and I'm looking forward to having it in the pocket tomorrow

Thank You for the Pile Side picture Mike . Carry it in good health my friend .

I'd say your dealer came through in spectacular style.... great example....

Thanks my friend I’m very happy with this one

The other day I told someone that I got LUCKY on receiving the Stag 62 that I got . Turns out that that was not true .


Yesterday when I was looking at the Bill that came with the knife , I saw the note that my dealer had hand written on the Bill . Turns out that he had Hand Picked one for me . Wish that he was a contributing dealer but I will see him at the Rendezvous and I will thank him in person as well as the note that I sent him .

When I think of whittling with a pocket knife, I think of General Grant sitting on a stump spontaneously whittling with his *general* (hah!) purpose pen knife during the Battle if the Wilderness.

Another Civil War student I see.

Yes sir. These days the Civil War seems unimaginable, yet it was fought in our “backyards” only a few generations ago. It’s easy history for me to connect to.

Though I don’t particularly think Grant was that great (and I don’t understand whittling while men under his command were dying), I still like that there’s a story of an important American whittling. Anyone who’s ever taken their pocket knife to a stick and produced shavings is another thread in a long tapestry of people through history of a similar mind.

Raised on the drunken stereotype, after reading Chernow's Grant biography I found him much more interesting than I imagined.


(And I missed another carver shipment at DLT. Pesky customers...)

there's at least one other dealer that has a few left...at least as of about 10 minutes ago

Confirmed. Says 3 left after my purchase.

Well, if all you people worrying about missing out on drops....do miss out, you'll have to take to drink

...and then there was one...

Thanks for giving me the 'kick in the pants' to look at dealers I don't normally think of, guys. I was finally able to sneak a few minutes of interwebs time this afternoon. This will be my first purchase from GJ.

oh, it takes MUCH less than that to get me to pour a couple of fingers of whiskey....

Got my stag today and the only nitpick I could have is I wish the sides were reversed! Pretty pleased with this one

 

[Rayski]

Just arrived. The fit/finish is as good as any Tidioute but the action and feel is superb. I got some dark spots on the bone but i don't mind even though my f&f model on order will be the user and this for the collection. Awesome job once again GEC!

Lots of reasons to be pleased with that one and I agree with you on the best side . I like the colors and the very short transitions to the bolsters as well . Just a very nice knife my friend

Guitars, whiskey, guns, and knives...
I’m in heaven.

“good purchases” to all!
Day one of carry with the pocket carver. It’s a beaut.

(well okay, no guitars in the photos, but I have enough here, and it’s how the song goes.)
