GEC 68’s, any and all welcome!

[Terdl76]

With the upcoming release, I thought it’d be cool to have a thread for different examples from over the years. Ponies, owls, buckaroos…put’em out there fellas!

I’ll start with these two. I’ve let a handful of 68’s go over the years and these are the only ones left in the collection. I personally feel like the white owls are the cream of the crop, as far as 68’s go.

I remember seeing these when it first came out a few years back. Really was considering one in ebony for a blade delete, but was never sure if it was two springs, or set on a single spring with the blades canted.

Can't say I approve of grave-robbing....but I'd be sorely tempted

This one was an Special Factory Assembly (SFA) parts knife that I picked up from the store during the 2019 Rendezvous. It has the blades and configuration of the 2011 Tidioute White Owls and the covers of the 2013 Antique Yellow jigged bone Pony Jack. Good luck finding these on the Production Totals.

Yes, I’m pretty sure you were the one I sold it to. I listed it on the Blade Forums exchange.

A 2011 White Owl with Snakewood handles.

Looks like more owls! How can one not be excited?!?

 

[Terdl76]

Exciting stuff

 

[Terdl76]

Fingers crossed that these will have those classy Northfield bails

I know a bunch of people here are going to be excited for those White Owls.
I wish you all luck in landing them.

I've always liked the proportions of the #68 pattern!! I like Equal End patterns, a very old knife style, and GECs are great! I've kept a few over the years, but some have escaped!!
What remains is a respectable selection!!
