Great Eastern Cutlery: #66 - Equal End Serpentine

[untytled]

Fantastic group Txjohn ! I attempted that once too but could barely get a 1/3 of the way there . Still a favorite pattern from GEC

A 66 Jack in rotten banana bone was the knife that turned me on to GEC. Back then they sat around for a little while at dealers (days or sometimes weeks). When I finally decided I had to have it it was sold! Man, I wish I still had that kind of time to decide whether or not I wanted one.
I ended up with a sea glass acrylic mink skinner as my first, and it’s still one of my favorites. I wish they would do a run of 66’s this year. I would love the chance at another.

The Jacks are my favorites.

What did they call those covers? That’s a nice looking knife!

Very nice, John. I’ve never owned a #66, but I think that would be my preferred configuration as well.

Grey Pearl Acrylic , I think. I'll have o unearth the tube to be sure. Orleans shield on the 66 Slim.

Thanks, Will

You need to remedy that.
It's possibly GEC's best pattern.

The world would be a better place if GEC would run some 66s soon.

Real looker this one

People often talk about the days long gone when GEC knives remained on dealer's shelves for enough time for you to think about it. Also these were the days when I gave away GEC knives...including one like the above to a forumite in Germany who has long ceased posting. Time waits for no man.

I think that might be an Oily Creek Bone, Will.

I believe that's Mike's Oil Creek bone SFO. Mine has been pocket worn over the years.

Ironbut You must be correct...now Jiki underlines it Great looking whatever... I just have a Primitive Bone mind

Nice one! I have two 66's and my only complaint is that the snap on the secondary blades is weaker than I like. Otherwise, they're my idea of what a medium stockman should be.
