GEC for whittling?

[nphelps4130]

I was hoping to get some help and opinions from everybody:

I have been doing some very basic whittling, of twigs and such, and have been mostly using Case in the 3.25-3.5" range. I also used a SAK that was thicker/wider and it seemed more comfy in the hand. Which led me to consider this as an excuse for another knife, specifically something a little larger (in the 4" handle range) and maybe a GEC...

I know the GEC Whittler is not exactly a traditional whittler, and I am wondering if people consider it an able whittler, or if I should consider something else? I was also considering a Case Humpback whittler (I like the black G-10 version a lot) or a Queen in the zebra wood, or the slightly larger Seahorse... I am considering going with a bigger handle, which is one of the things that led me to consider GEC.

Any input you may have is welcome-

Here's a thread that was running the other day.

The knife I posted about in that thread is definitely too big for "fine" whittling although it would do for the initial whittling of a larger item such as a duck decoy.
