Born Again Maher & Grosh

[Onearmbladenut]

I opted for just the two - 'tis all I could justify at the time. They are very fine knives. I love the jigged bone and that classic etch and though the half stops kind of surprised me (given that previous 35s did not have them), these are a big winner for GEC and M&G. Overall, they are really fantastic knives and represent that extra cut above most production level traditional slipjoints.

I have a very modest M&G collection so it was pretty easy to gather them all in one place for a family shot.

I just love GEC's wavy pick bone jigging. I bought the two bones. I wanted all four , but I needed to save for the GEC#74 Mustang run. I canceled my Seth Borries custom order fixed blade knife. Then my called dealer called my and said that I could only pre-order one. I was not amused ! He did allow me to pre-order two #74's me and my GEC ended up selling me all four choices. Two buyers dropped out ! I ended scoring seven #74s. The 2020 AAPK club knife stole the show. I turn down a second black plum , I did not want to be a hog.

After looking over the entire 2020 production totals, I’d have to say that these M&G’S were the highlight of the year.

I have to agree with you, definitely the best of the year.

Definitely great knives!! I was lucky enough to order a set early!!
One of my favorite knives, for its old timey equal-end configuration!
And half stops on great walk and talk!! Masterworks!!

 

[Jiki]

A definite winner for sure.

 

[Onebigbill]

I have to show mine too. Just love this knife.

My first Maher & Grosh. Walk and talk is great. Snappier then my stag Northfield, just a tad snappier on the sheepsfoot than my Tidoute version. I really like the covers as well. Not a lot of coloring, it's almost like smooth white bone.

A quartet of GEC SFO knives for Maher and Grosh......

So, any news on any upcoming M&G? I heard they're working with another manufacturer now, anyone knows which one?

Those 35s are awesome! Great photo!

I miss the M&G runs.

 

[Epicurian]

I miss them too. I assume they’re a thing of the past due to GEC’s change in SFO policies? Do you like this one for whittling?
Does that long coping blade come in handy?

They are actually working on something now, they did not share the maker. No, I don't carve with this one at all. The blade is too long or something I just don't like it for that. I do like it for regular carry though very handy.

Ohio Valley Cutlery owns the name. Recent production was made by GEC.
