[Heynowwww]

The GEC 86 pattern is one of my favorites so I thought I would share some pictures. Post yours up as well. Rick

Wowza! What a spread!

Really like the size of the 86, wish they would do some more single blades so I can grab one!

Nice collection. That took some effort to track all those down. What were the hardest ones for you to find? 86s are great. I also like the Waynorth and Maher & Grosh built on that frame.

From having had many, I'm down to just one, my favorite in sucker rod wood.

Thank you. The hardest ones are the single blade Waynorth Black Jack, the white bone Blade Forums Barlow, the 2020 SFAs, and the Lone Stars. The records are sketchy on the Lone Stars but I think I am only missing the Ranger.

The Waynorth Black Jack and Bladeforums barlow are my favorites. Thanks for posting your collection!

Edit: Looking back at your picture after my post, you're missing an important one. What's your user

That's an amazing collection, so many beauties in there. If I could pick just one as a favorite from that array, ..... well, I couldn't.

My only 86, bloodwood.

The only one I have. Putrid red and black linen micarta covers.

I love the 86. It’s by far my favorite pattern and the only pattern I have 3 or 4 of.

Amazing collection Heynowwww !!!

I only have two #86s at the moment. They became a favorite pattern for me as soon as I put them in hand. I'm definitely wanting to pick up another version or two!

I have only kept 3 of my 86s. Many have moved on to hopefully forever homes.

Heynowwww what is the story on the two blaze orange knives, second row 3 and 4 from left? Recovers? SFA’s?

Those two are very cool and unique. How do you store your collection? I am not finding a happy way to display it or store it - I was thinking of a replacing an interior wall with a clear wall I could store a dragon’s treasure of GECs inside and still be able to see them and access easy.

I might have to get “the box” down from the closet shelf and see what 86’s I might have.

Hello, the orange are SFAs from the 2024 Rendezvous. They made 26 of the clip and 27 of the spear. I would love to see what you have in your collection.

I store my knives in the tubes in bins by pattern number. I should display them and enjoy them more.

Ok, I do not feel so bad since the “bin” method is how I do it currently!
