GEC 25s - Gots 'em?

[B.F.U]

So you're the one that scored that off the bay!

No, maybe it was up on the bay as well, but I got this one on the exchange here.

 

[spydutch]

I gots one (thanks to pnew :thumbup: )

Like it very much and have it in my pocket as I type this

Very nice Jeff!! I'd like to see GEC use that granite stuff again.

Thanks, Trand. The HME must have been a more expensive process than the normal acrylics, as they only did some #23s and #73s in 2008, besides these #25s. They were all done in very small numbers, less than 10 of each, in red/black, teal/black, camo, and the granite.

I would love to see what that red black looks like

 

[black mamba]

Me too, I've never even seen a picture of any of the other colors besides the granite.

Jeff - that is one of the most unique #25s that I've laid eyes on. Really beautiful. :thumbup:

3" is usually smaller than I go in a pocket knife, but the #25 is a special exception. Love this little blade:

The single blade sheepsfoot all steel is a beauty. So simple, so functional and so desirable!



Love it!

I've finally joined the #25 club.

I love how solid it feels in the hand. And it's size means it can just disappear in a watch pocket until I need it.

Thanks to everyone who keeps this thread alive, and presents #25s for us all to enjoy. :thumbup:


Reason #436 why it's rewarding to share one's knives with others, for their observations and appreciation:

I've had this knife for almost a year, a snakewood barlow that was the "poster child" for this particular cover within the run (serial number 02).

I've photographed and handled it often, and would have said I 'knew' the knife.

This past week end, I had the pleasure of meeting RobbW and showing him the knives I'd brought along, this #25 included.

Within moments, he spotted and asked about the "25" on the cover-- within the grain of the wood.

Hunh?

Take a look, to the right of the lower pin in this picture:

See it? I hadn't.

Now I can't not see it.

Kewl.

(Thanks, Robb!)

[KBA]

Here is my one and only.

 

[yatsunil]

WOW! That is a beaut, Sarah! And that 25 in the wood grain is just the icing on the cake :thumbup:

My two most recent #25EO.

I have that very same 25 in snakewood. Mine is no. 17 however. Great knife....wish GEC would remake some of the old great 25s. I love the pattern, but it appears that most who have them are keeping them, and they're getting hard to find.

 

[RobbW]

It was so nice to meet you last weekend, Sarah...and your Big Box O Knives. lol For those that don't know, Sarah has a beautiful and well-though-out collection of knives (many of which, but not all, actually are blue).

I think it's safe to say that we all really appreciate and scrutinize knives. It's funny the different things that we see in them. How cool that the #25 has a nature-made 25 in the snakewood? I never gave much thought to the 25 when it first came out. They really are amazing though. They're the mini-Snickers of the knife world: small and scrumptious yet not too filling.

Beautiful stag on that knife...and a rare drop point too. My grail would be a #25 in drop point. I have every other blade type.

 

[Will Power]

Thank you! The stag is getting better with age - wish I could say the same....I was very fortunate to win this back in the spring and I carry it frequently. Another run of Drop-points would be really welcome&popular can't understand why GEC doesn't get round to it, but at the moment they seem to have become obsessed with Boys..

Regards, Will

 

[philllll]

That is some amazing wood, P! And I see hypnotoad, too!

Great little knife.

Have to agree - that is one of the nicest #25s I've seen! And a Barlow, to boot! :thumbup:

 

[Parke1]

This little guy showed up in the mail today. Love it!

 

[blee]

I have 2 - this one in Black Walnut Bone. Unfortunately, it's one of the early ones with same size backsprings for both blades. The small blade is a nail breaker.
