Finally I got my patriot GEC

[Knife Crazied]

I've been hunting for a patriot GEC barlow for a long time like over 2 years. I found one on the bay the other day and it arrived in the mail today. Its # 3 of 50. I wish GEC would do a powderhorn or toothpick in patriot. Behold my beauty.

Nice looking Barlow there, Ash. I don't see too much of that Patriot Acrylic. Nice find!

Yeah thats a good one. :thumbup:
GEC has a great little thing going with the barlow and the patriot acrylic is awesome.

Congrats on hunting it down, it will look great with the rest of them.

It was quite a long search but the reward was oh so nice.

I wish I'da known we were both bidding on it! I checked the number and it was the same one I was bidding on. Ya got me by a dollar! I'm glad someone good got it, Congratz!

I've heard of that handle but this is the first pic I've seen, that looks great! Congrats!

Congrats for your new GEC Ash!
I agree that GEC should use this acrylic on other patterns. For some reasons (which I'm unable to explain), the patriot acrylics and the barlow don't seem to match to me...but it's sure a great knife!

I wish that was true but there was a hunk of $ added.

You've got great taste in knives the #25 Barlows are great little EDC knives and not to mention the unique ( I've never seen one ) patriot acrylic handles while I probably wouldn't EDC a ( to colorful for my taste ) knife with handles like that it would make a great additon to a harcore GEC collectors collection. I've always enjoyed looking at older slipjoints ( mostly cheap imperials ) with acrylic handles in general acrylic is just a realy nifty looking handle material with a personality all its own.

Nice knife,Ash!

Hard to beat the usefulness of a chunky two blade jack.

I can't look too long at the handles though, they bring back memories of my first semester at college and the Maynard G. Crebs days of my youth.

Nice find...

You going to wait for July 4th to use it?

 

[Knife Crazied]

I don't think I'll use it at all. Its more of a collector piece for me. :thumbup:

Well after thinking it through I put it in my display case with my few others that don't get carried. It looks good behind glass.
