Born Again Maher & Grosh

[Camillus]

Seeing the Refuse Removal Knife lined up against the M&G version is interesting. I think writing on the shield (Scout,Beer Scout etc) gives the knife a bit more character and personality. Not something you want on every pattern but when it is used it does seem to work well.

My Trapper (Antique Yellow Pick Bone) also came in the mail today.
Another very fine traditional pocket knife by Maher & Grosh.
Anyone wishing for old time quality, these are it.

I saw Ken and Roger talking to Bill! I know they took the trouble and expense of securing the Trademark.
I wonder if GEC will do some future M&Gs??

" Too Smart ", you knew.

Thanks. Sometimes I use the Portrait mode on my phone camera. It focuses on what is up close and makes the background blurry. Here is a similar picture shot without the Portrait mode.

Thanks for the tip, I can definitely notice the difference. I'll try some new things in my future pics. Thanks!

Great pic either way, "Pemberton"! Cool knife too! Still waiting on my appaloosa (it ain't easy).

A beautiful knife. I decided to pass on the Appaloosas, but it's always nice seeing them!! My Antique Yellow Bone should be in hand today or tomorrow, can't wait to see it in person!

When I was a kid I'd go to the local fairs and carnivals and try to win a stuffed animal, a fish or just anything...... I had terrible luck; I'd spend $2-$3 and come home empty handed and disappointed.... So when I was able to acquire the 4 M&G knives I felt like I had won the lottery!..... Maybe 71+ years of patience is finally paying off!!

Sounds like 71 years of hard work to me. Enjoy them. You've earned it.

Beautiful knives, GEC always seems to do an excellent job on the Maher&Grosh knives.

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.

These are the two I went with. Might try trading toward a jigged bone down the line.

 

[RickNB]

That’s a great set of knives there, wish I had known about M&G sooner. I have an Appaloosa 29 and received my yellow/brown bone 35 yesterday. Both winners but the 35 jigging is outstanding, I sure hope they find a way to continue this series.

Modest in size only, Dylan. Those are all some great looking knives.
