GEC's jigged bone

[waynorth]

Hey! Nice knife Robin!
GEC's been trying to get the flavor of the "old" jigging patterns. Too bad the art was largely lost - recreating it is a tough slog!

This thread has brought the #42 to my attention. It may well be "the" knife I have been looking for. I like the 2012 forum knife, but would prefer it just a tad larger.... the #42 makes an entrance. Going to have to get one of these but I am probably not going to get it in the Copperhead bone but it is awfully nice. This is to be a user, so all I am finding are limited edition versions. I'll find one. I appreciate this thread.

It is a medium large slip joint but exactly the length of my favorite SAK.

I do love the coloring on my #42.

That Chocolate Bone is very attractive.

Not sweet but sour, just got hold of a Half Whitt 57 in Pickle Green Bone. This is very tasty too.

Thanks, Will

Copperhead Jigged Bone - on the #12 Powderhorn jack

Maybe I´ve shown it up somewhere already - but it´s a real beautiful bone

Figured I'd show some closeups of GEC's jigging, compared with some from Case.

There's something to be said for good uniform jigging, as it usually looks and feels good. But sometimes deep, random jigging provides good grip and character. I'd like to see GEC go with more types of jigged bone when putting out patterns to give us even more choices.

Deep random is my preference. There is just something about it. Not to say GEC doesnt do jigging well...its just a bit sterile for me
