Love the 79. Just thought I'd keep this thread alive.

Beautiful knives; one of my favorite knives. Hard to believe it's been 4 years since GEC made that configuration!

4 years?!?!? First knife GEC released new after I started hanging around this sub forum. It is certainly a great knife and I think this matching set pic belongs in here.

Love the Red whittler. This and the canvas are ones I'm always looking for.

Yup, it's been a long 4 years. The Montana Whittler was the first pattern GEC released after I stumbled upon this forum, and the knife that stoked my interest in Traditionals. IIRC, there wasn't very much interest when the initial release hit the market. I was fortunate enough to grab one in canvas Micarta and another in Calico bone. I really like how the Northfield knives had satin-finished blades (excluding the stag, of course). There have been a few releases with modified blade configurations since then, but the original Whittler pattern is still my favorite. Still hoping for another run, someday...

I was lucky to snag Rockgolfer's whittler in Canvas from Soneman a while back. I have a few versions of this whittler, and the canvas version is my go to one. Of the others,it has the best walk and talk. I described it in an earlier post as "clickity-clack-whack".

Love the Red whittler. This and the canvas are ones I'm always looking for.

It's great to see that one again. I'll gladly take it back if you ever decide you don't want it .

The walk and talk was great on it, that was my first GEC and it spoiled me. The red bone whittler was a gift and at the time I didn't think I would ever need 2. Just glad to see its not sitting in a drawer somewhere not being appreciated :thumbup:

I love both of mine, but this one is a grail knife, its the one that got me hooked...

 

[Shaggy]

Jobillo wood?

 

[jlhoffman74]

Yes it is, and the chatoyance is mezmerizing.
