GEC 25s - Gots 'em?

[Cambertree]

Great write up Paul, I'm happy for you mate.

Even without the aura of rarity and grail-glow, that's a really fine, special knife.

Nice one, enjoy.

That is a fantastic example, Paul! Congrats on finally obtaining it :thumbup:

Categorically amazing: tale of desire, story of wishes fulfilled and of course, that awesome knife. Love the 25, thanks for the great read & pics.

My pleasure, cheers mate.

Okay technical difficulties have been fixed. Warning: This is a photo heavy post.

I love my 25s. I also included some photos of my bullet jacks as they are built on the 25 frame.

I'll include this as a link because it keeps showing up as a huge photo.

I think it took well over a year for me to score an Acorn shield Elk. It is absolutely gorgeous!

It certainly is. :thumbup:

Been wanting to try a 25 for sometime now and am I glad I found this one to be my first. Excellent F&F, long pull, cloud shield, I'm particularly impressed with Che Chen wood it's beautiful, overall quite a little jewel. Probably won't be my last.

This is truly a favorite... thankful a friend remembered my dibs! Lol!

Any idea on if/when we will see a new wave of 25s? I never knew Northwoods made some; they look fantastic.

I asked Derrick from KSF when we might see Northwoods #25 jacks again. He could not provide any estimate.

I love this picture.

I've never handled one of these. At the time I was very put off by the thought of the heat treat scale weakening the pivot and I didn't like the huge northwoods logo along the blade - how foolish I was, I didn't yet realise what an obsession I would develop.

They were only done once in 2013

#25STL
Cocobolo Wood 66 pcs. no serial number
Frontier Bone 67 pcs. no serial number
Orange Camel Bone 12 pcs. no serial number
Green Camel Bone 8 pcs. no serial number
Burnt Stag 69 pcs. no serial number

In my opinion the orange camel bone you see above is an absolute beauty.

Had a dream that I owned a bare head, ebony handled, brass lined 25 with a full size, long pull drop point and full size, long pull wharncliffe secondary. Is it too early to vote for a 2017 knife?

I bought several extra #25's from the last run in 2015 that I gave away as Christmas presents to my relatives. Now that I know how infrequently we see these come out, I wonder if my relatives would notice if I switched them out with some of my extra #14's. Carrying this one today.

I would love to own one of these Bullet Jacks, or anyone of the smooth handle spear point GECs. I wish someone could predict their next manufacture date so I would know how long I have to wait.

Stunning additions, to personal collections and to this thread. I'm loving this.

Crazy goodness, here! The orange-accented Runt juxtaposed with the orange Bullet Jack makes me go kinda jiggy:

But, I'm probably most partial to this image:

I continue to carry my blue camel bone sheepsfoot single every day, and actually use it most days(!). Here it is in EDC array on a recent Friday when it all came together:
