I cannot approach the beauty of Ken's 66 Moose photo posted in the totin' today thread, but it inspired me to snap a few shots of mine.

Two different style blades of equal length is actually a quite useful combination.

But it is the blood red color, and old style jigging of the bone that caused me to want this one.

Nice photos, Doug. Those handles were one very successful experiment!!!
As well, it's one of my all time favorite patterns from GEC. But that bone looks so great in the sun, it makes me wonder why I live in the rain forest!!:rolleyes:
 
Nice. I do really like that red. I think it is the low light spots in the colors that make it. Not too bright.

pardon the impertinence, but does a moose come with two springs? there's a shortage of top- and bottom-view pictures here in BF.
 
Good question Hank. Two springs on this pattern.
Two full sized blades are a real tight fit in a one spring knife, but it can be done.
 
Great pictures Doug - thanks!

I would like to see that color in a smooth-bone finish - good stuff!

Beautiful 66 Doug. I think I will be ordering one of these soon. The size and shape of the handle and blades make this knife almost perfect as an edc traditional.
 
Not impertinent at all Hank. That was the first question I asked Charlie about this knife.

Yes, it is a two spring knife.

The more I carry this moose, the more I am impressed with the work the folks at GEC did on these bone handles.

Great shots Doug...thank you for being so very helpful to others here to by the way :thumbup:
I just wanted to put my 2 cents worth in by adding that by the photo's the colouring of the jigged Bone look extremely close to Cases early Red Bone Colouring-which is simply beautiful.
 
thanks for the accommodation doug! there is something about jacks that make me want to click "buy-it-now" each time. looking at each blade lying centered inside its own channel and powered by its own spring. but an opposite end moose/muskrat is a different 'animal' altogether. hmmm...
 
Thanks for the kind words Duncan.

I'm a jack knife guy too, Hank. But this one has me firmly in its grip.
 
Doug,

These knives are really well put together and finished and your beautiful pictures really show that. :thumbup:

That's interesting Charlie. Are there any single-spring Moose? The only larger bladed single-spring knife I have a a Queen Cutlery Muskrat. This is superbly made, no rub or any faults for that matter but they are slim Turkish Clip style blades not thick Spears etc! Oddly enough, this Queen is also a 66 pattern knife...I think the GEC 66 Mink Skinner which has identical blades is also two springs.

The bone and jigging on that 66 Moose really is desirable.

Regards to all, Will
