GIVEAWAY - Penny (or knife) for your thoughts -- AWARDED

I only have a #57 halfwhitt, it's a beautiful knife for sure, but the TC Barlow is the one I most covet. I just can't get over the fact that it's all steel. Never seen a knife like that before. :)

The curve of the 55 frame seems natural to me, especially with one bladed configuration

Now THAT is a fine looking knife! There's just something about wharncliffe and sheepsfoot that does it for me. Utility perfection...
 
#33 by far. It pockets well in slacks and even a suit, yet is capable of doing real work. It's like a Peanut on steroids! Works when you need it, disappears when you don't.
 
Don't own a GEC yet but a #72 looks pretty close to what I would feel comfortable to carry.
 
This is a tough one...I've been really diggin' the TC Barlow's, but I think it would be a #68 or a #42 Trader in that beautiful Macassar Ebony that the TC Barlows had a few runs ago.

Thanks for the opportunity!
 
Another vote for the #15 here. I've yet to try one of the larger GEC frames, but might think about getting something like a #73 for winter coat-pocket carry :)

This one is really difficult for me. I have to go with the Barlow/boys knife (#15) frame as my favorite. Since I have to pick just one. I think the Barlow on that frame is the best one(s) I have ever put my hands on; I don't know how they could be more perfectly proportioned nor executed in a production environment.

I don't own any GEC knife but I would agree with that one. I saw several pics of it on this forum and I think it's really charming with that ebony wood. That would be my pick as well. Thanks for the chance!
 
I am hung up on the #55 as it just feels right in the hand ~~ more or less like my Case SwayBack Jacks and Gents do with that feeling like once you put the #55 down you want to pick it right back up.* Guess I am in* for the duration on this one.^
Thanks for the chance.
 
I'm putting my #61 half congress into the mix. I find I carry it far more than my #68 white owl, because the sheepsfoot blade is so useful. Great giveaway and great thread!

I must say the 15. So classic. Seems to fit every size hand. Carries comfortably in the pocket. Timeless.
 
For me, it's the 33. I have a lot of different patterns, but the 33 is the picture of elegance and simplicity for me.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Thanks for the chance. I keep saying no more GAWs, but I can't resist this one. #54 is my favorite unless I win this one.
 
I think the 15 is also my favorite even though paradoxically I don't have any right now.
