GEC ACORNS! (stainless) Reference list!

Fixed Blade Bowies, small and large (no acorns, but 440C alright!)

Oak leaves on those snaps; however! Must be an acorn someplace.
 
I’ve got a 2012 48 acorn trapper on the way in cherry. Other than the 89 fruit knife, I don’t have any SS GECs… Another hunt ensues lol !!
 
Lately, GEC has been releasing a little more stainless - 86 with very nice looking Acorn bolster- notably in Micarta and the fruit knives. But, 'traditionally' they've been sparse, the manufacturer is notoriously parsimonious with stainless releases. Allegedly due to the extra wear on elderly machinery.

My latest one is bought new in 2016 the 15. Never liked the move from Squirrels & Acorn etch to the automotive looking Federal shield type thing but the F&F is superb. Apologies for the intrusion of a Moditional as well but don't have a 15 on its own picture to hand.

33 Conductor called Yellow Bone but it looks like a kind of dark Winterbottom to me.

But wait! Who robbed the nuts and acorns? Here it would be the Red Squirrel/Eurasian Squirrel - Sciurus vulgaris

But the little rogue does good too, by burying acorns and nuts they spread woodland, putting something back.
