I have been looking for this 66 jack for some time now. Saw it last week on the bay and its on the way. Probably overpaid but may not see one again.

Any other GEC 66 rotten banana fans? Owners? Comments?


Thanks

I love it & it is my favorite material they have used. The 66 Jack Rotten Banana was my grail knife as well & luckily I found one here on the exchange some time ago. I wish they would use it on some other patterns sometime soon. It would look great on a Charlow! I need to get some better pictures as the sun made these look like the bolsters are all scratched up but really they are not at all.




This last one I took for a thing Charlie did for the Diamond Jack a while back.
 
Nice score. I was one of the losing bidders but that is one of my favorite bone colors that GEC has done.

I wish they would use it more often and really wish they would do another run of 66 jacks.
 
Having trouble snapping pics right now, but like you, I tracked one down after a very long hunt. I love it! Really beautiful stuff that's easily my favorite GEC bone I own, and the 66 is a terrific pattern.
 
I'm another one of the losing bidder.
Had a computer glitch at the last minute.
I wasn't meant to be . I'm glad it went to
another grail seeker. Congratulations
 
Thanks Txjohn, Sorry about that. I'm always looking and was surprised to see it pop up on the bay. Stay with it and good luck. hope Your next to get a rotten banana where it belongs.

I coveted one...and eventually purchased it from an esteemed forum member.....loved it...but never found my self carrying it for more than a day or two at a time.......so I set it free to another forum member, who I believe does give it some pocket time. It is the most beautiful knife I have owned....maybe just too beautiful....here are some pics:

Gorgeous knife and great pics, Peter! That second image makes me want to go track one down....
 
Nice score. A grail knife for me too. It is the one that peaked my interest in GEC.

I think a lot of us wish they would make another run of 66 jacks. If they did Id love to see them put the secondary in front of the main and change it to a coping blade or a low riding sheepsfoot. It would make for a great EDC knife.

That rotten banana bone is incredible looking in the right lighting ~

I never understood the allure of the Rotten Bannana, until I saw this pic. Thanks for the craving, with which I'm now afflicted !

I no longer have this, it went to another forum member, but the pics show how nice rotten banana can be
