GEC .38 Special Question

[MCar]

It does look like the wharncliffe knife handle a bit. I have an Ohta that looks like these 38s a bit with a wharncliffe blade.View attachment 904412 View attachment 904413

One of the coolest Ohtas I've seen, glocktenman !

This thing is OUTSTANDING! Thanks for sharing, Railsplitter .

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words.

The knife has been modified from its original state (secondary blade removed) but that doesn't bother me at all.

Union Knifeworks (not to be confused with Union Cutlery Co.) was only in business from 1911-1913 according to Goins so it's kind of a rarity. I adore the little bugger despite the fact that it's been modified.

Thanks again for the nice compliment.

same frame as the three-blade Grinling whittler

Exactly what I was seeing / thinking but I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment directly.

I feel the 38 is one of the most beautiful patterns when closed but rather awkward looking when open. That odd hump back where blade meets handle just bugs me.

OP you made a great choice! I have the same knife and used it to harvest morel mushrooms yesterday morning!

Thank you Randy for the compliment. I am very smitten with it. It may have the finest talk of all my knives. Not that I have very many.
