Bails and Chains

willc · Jun 30, 2018

I just got my ebony with bail and chain.
It really is a neat add on.

I’m not sure if it will get carried much but I’m glad I got it.

Hey, it's a beauty, willc!! I use mine almost daily now. The only thing missing is that elusive single clip blade version of Charlie's. Now it looks like I'm getting one of those too! :thumbsup:

I agree Augie, this one has so much nicer action than the other new 15 releases that I've had. I think I'm gonna have to have one of the pick bones as well......Fresh out of the box.

Yep. These are very impressive! Ken and Co. are to be commended for dreaming this one up! Sorry bout the quick and dirty pics but I was in a hurry.
Look at that Pickbone jiggin!!!!

Very spiffy M&G folks....impressive.

Here we go! The hafting that Bill Howard is able to achieve at GEC is second to none! In case some of you guys don't know, the OVC on the Pen blade tang stamp, stands for Ohio Valley Cutlery.
AHHHHHH,,,,Love this jiggin!

Very pleased with my cocobolo as well. So much so that some of my other 15s are likely headed to the For Sale forum. I'm usually a single blade guy when it comes to traditionals but the two blade configuration just feels right on this pattern.

I got a pick bone M & G today and it is a very nicely crafted folder! I agree Perry that the level of hafting is the best I have seen in a GEC in awhile. Just wonderful fit and finish, outstanding jigging and good W & T right out of the box!! My thanks and congratulations to Ken and Roger and GEC :thumbsup:

Yes Mug and Lloyd, couldn't be happier with these! Just gave mine the typical gun scrubber spray and oil bath, she is now more like my knife. Although I will say that these last two or three #15 pattern knives I have gotten from GEC have had the best snap, out of the box, of any in a long while! Also fit and finish is extremely good.

These remind me of the SCOUTS from 2013,,,,well done again, GEC!! :thumbsup:

oooo Charlie, single blade clip, simple shield, such an elegant designed piece! yours is the prize of all the bails and chains offerings!

Quick question for you with the M&G.
Can you thread the 2 blade 15 through the button loop like the single blade 15’s?

No you cannot, it's too wide -- at least for the cocobolo, I have no experience with the pick bone.

I think that depends on how much your waist may of stretched your button hole.

I think we'll start seeing some pictures of the clip point SFO bail and chain knives today.

I'm excited.

Captvideo · Jul 2, 2018

How pieces were made in Charlie C SFO bail and chain run?

singin50 · Jul 2, 2018

Good question, I don't know, but I know someone who does and he may be here shortly.

Chains are in!
