Happened across these online and thought they looked pretty cool - but expensive. Anyone own one of these? If so, what are your thoughts?

(Hopefully this is posted in the correct forum.)

Thanks!
 
Here's my tomato acrylic. I love it, excellent F&F. Also have a Pemberton with the same handles (# 07).

Wow! That's beautiful! I'm getting more tempted to pull the trigger on one....
 
I have a "few" of the Mag's ~~ E. Wood - BB Horn - COCO - SB Bone - AYJ Bone - Stag <<< have 2 ea. as that way I donate one or sell one I still have one left.! I like the feel of the Knife itself and it is a good all around Knife for about what I would use it for.! Most of them are NIT & SQ's for now more or less.!*** Get one & enjoy the Blade.^^
 
I love them! Very underrated GEC in my opinion. I went with stag. Here is a picture of it when it was new and pictures taken by KSF. I can't seem to get a good picture of this particular knife lol.


 
anybody have a pic of one in hand? I know the dimensions, but sometimes you just gotta see it
 
I had an ebony 22 and loved it. Unless they went up in price, which I doubt, I think they're definitely worth it.

Watch out, if that's the dealer I think he doesn't take kindly to the use of his photos... As pointless as that seems.

I just took a few for you real quick. Last pic includes a 15 at 3.5" for comparison. The pictures suck as its dark here and the lighting in my house isn't ideal for pictures.

 
Wow, that makes the 15 look like a grandaddy barlow. I might end up picking one these magnums up, I love little knives.
 
Pull the trigger! I have two, cocobolo and bone, and they are perfect watch pocket knives:)
 
Very attractive pattern I think. I have large hands, but the 22 has good ergonomics for a small knife :thumbup:

Pint for scale ;)

I wish GEC had made a single blade .22 Magnum.

Good friend of mine got a .22 Magnum as his work EDC as a watch maker. Fancy store he worked in didn't like him carrying a big knife so the .22 Magnum worked great.
 
I agree, I used the 22 when in groups that may not appreciate the size some of my other knives. I have a root beer float acrylic, and I've been considering a cocobolo. I really really like this knife. It was also my first GEC. I would post a pic but I don't have it at work today. Maybe I should bring all my knives to work...
 
A very nice watch pocket companion.
