I'll take a 72 in ebony please.

Smooth and Primitive Bone are really well done by GEC, they improve with age too, I suspect.

Nice array as usual Dennis, gives a lot of food for thought and monetary impoverishment.......

Dennis, that #73 in ebony is sweet! I might have to get on of those. thanks for taking the time to share, with all of us knife addicts.

I'm really interested in those jigged bocote/bubinga beaver tails...

 

[DennisStrickland]

jigged bocote is the lockback similar in dimensions to your yellow rose jani. the jigged bubinga is the robust cuban in big jack, able to scale large buildings. dennis

We are going to change your name to Dennis "GEC" Strickland........How many GECs do you have? I think I've seen 20-30 just from your pictures. Thanks for the pic and I still like those knives in the snake wood.

glock the snakewood is fantastic. dobson says it's in top 5 hardest woods in the world. Janka Wood Hardness scale rates it at 3800. lignum vitaem is hardest at 4500. hickory falls in about 1600 to 1800.i received a paring knife from dobson in snake & m4 , lots of fun in the kitchen. dennis.glad you like the pics.

Gads!! One of those may have to be my "retirement-knife" in 400 days! That farmer smooth bone and the Cuban are really nice. Maybe I'll have to get both.

I prefer natural materials on production slip joints. Those look great!
