So I've been think about ordering another one of these beauties. There is something about this color that really just strikes me, I love it. :thumbup:
I'd really like to see some Collector's photos, I've checked out all the dealers and I've seen their pics, but I'd really like to see what you guys have.
I know that these scales will slightly change color over time so, if you've been using one, I'd like to see some great user's too. :D


Heres what I have to add.

Thanks guys
 
My first was the same as yours, JT, the Furtaker Muskrat.

My newest is a jigged yellow rose Cattle Baron.

I also have a yellow smooth bone 3-spring Whittler, which is NOT a yellow rose, but UN-X-LD badged. Shown here with a brother and a cousin.

As much as I love stag, some of the GEC yellow rose models really pop out at me when I browse the dealers. A few that I REALLY wanted but they were all prototypes and I couldn't justify the added price. Yours looks amazing, I hope to add one to my collection when I find one that strikes me...and isn't a proto :)

My two #73 Yellow Roses. The two blade is my Bloody Mary. Stiff springs with long pulls. I cut me 5 times first day I opened it, twice second day and once my friend who tried to open it. It took me 3 weeks to break back springs down but now its safe, great knife do it all. I love the pattern. I hope sometimes to get single blade #73 without liner lock and the #23's yellowbone...
 
This GEC series is really changing my mind...
I was about to order a GEC #56 with ebony handles (or eventually burnt stag). I always loved wood in traditionals, and of course I'm used to stag and bone in slipjoints, and like them alot...but you guys are pushing me towards this yellow thing...and although in the beginning they looked a bit weird to me (not used to "yeller" handles at all), as days go by I am discovering the beauty of yellow handles, and GEC yellow rose is just as good as it can get.
And lately I thought that, if my first American traditional has to be a "blind dive" into a whole world that I know little about (multiblades, etc), maybe yellow handles would be the choice. And I guess that your pics in this thread will define my choice on GEC yellow rose.
Fausto
:cool:
 
The Yellow Rose Furtaker Trapper was my first GEC I was drawn to the yellow but more than that I just really liked the looks of the rose shield. I hadn't carried it in a while but it made it to my pocket two days ago and is still there. This pic was a while back just before I started to carry my Conductor exclusively.

I like the jigged bone version. Are there other GEC models with this?

Another yellow scale I'd like to get from GEC is their Rotten Banana, kind of yellow anyway!
 
I was considering one of the Yellow Roses, but having lived in Louisiana for almost sixty years, I am somewhat adverse to carrying a knife with a map of Texas on it.

(Ducking)

That said, it is a really nice line of knives.

Bit 0000 steel wool, few apples, few tomatoes... no map of Texas is seen... ;)
 
I'm afraid I don't have one to share. Sure are some nice looking knives.
