GEC 25s - Gots 'em?

[Doug Add]

Gratuitous pic of my Sawcut Goldenrod Bone 25 :

That one is beautiful!

Haven't seen you posting much in these parts lately. Always nice to hear from you!

Hey P, what's that second pattern from the left? Also is that a spear point? Thanks.

That picture is -- sadly!-- not my collection.

However, I pulled it from this post, which also features this picture:

By this, the stag knife looks to be a 66 Moose featuring both spear and clip point blades, both boasting a beautiful, use-earned patina.

Coyote77, I agree with Doug-- that goldenrod bone is stunning, and your photographs capture it to good effect. :thumbup:

Thanks Doug! I haven't been around much lately ..... had some other things going on and needed a time-out for a while. I just popped in to see what's going on and thought I'd post a couple old pics when I saw this thread. I've got a couple busy months coming up, but once winter rolls around I'll probably be back. Good to see you again my friend!

Glad you did, and hope to see you again when things settle down. You were among the first to make me feel welcome here, and I appreciate your kindness.

Thanks for the kind words, Doug!

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming ..... pics of my Stag 25:

I like the combination of "leafy" spear blade with the little swoopy clip, and hope you do as well.

Thanks Sarah, I do like the combo of the blades. This little one is growing on me. The stag is top shelf, IIRC, the last time I spoke with GEC, I was told that the genuine stag was the only one to come in rounds, the other 2(burnt and natural) come in halves.

Haven't posted my 25 here yet, posted it in another thread and figured I should post it here too.

That looks really great! Is it arrowhead jigged bone as in the following GEC picture, only with two blades? Or something else?

And Kris, I'm bringing this most recent picture of your barlow over as well-- great picture of a fine knife:

Yup that's what it is, arrowhead jigged bone with two blades. The smaller blade is the clip blade GEC uses on the 25 which I haven't used much.

Impressive display there Jim, appreciate you sharing it.

I've got the Spear blade's twin: First pic extreme right, mine's No.9 . Can't remember the handle name, something Barnboard?? sees a lot of pocket time though.

Thanks, Will

... Wow.

Some elusive drop points in the mix as well!

Is that green HME in the above photograph, 2nd from left, or something else?

From GEC's current What's Happening page:

"#25 spear blades hot off the stamper" :

"Drilling tangs on #25 little clip blade" :

"#25 little clip blade after tang deburr and ready for heat treat" :

Oh boy oh boy.

Sweeeet~!

Been carrying this one quite a bit. My vote for TOTM by the way. Fit/Finish top notch, the main clip opens a little stiff, I'd say a 7, the pen opens quite easy. It rides in the pocket great and it feels like you have a very substantial blade in hand when in use, even tho the blade length is fractionally longer than a peanut. I never feel underbladed when carrying. A wharncliffe or sheeps version would probably seem like more knife edge, but I love the blade shape of the clip, straight edge with the belly curve at the end.

I want this one....

I want this one....

Tell me about it! That picture was directly responsible for my getting the same ebony barlow, as I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Great picture, Finedges. :thumbup:

Here's my barlow today:

Those Acorns are massive! Must come from very old trees I suppose?

The 25 is a very fine pattern in my experience.

 

[pertinux]

Those Acorns are massive! Must come from very old trees I suppose?

Yes, old growth from protected land. Now I'm wishing I'd thought to look up and had taken some pictures of the trees, instead of just gathering some of the acorns. Whoops!

[Finedges]

Good stuff P, love that jigging.
Pics aren't bad either!
