So I started becoming interested in slip joints a few months back. I've found that there is a good diversity out there of different sizes, shapes, materials and quality. GEC and it's cousins seem to be kinda "par for the course" so to speak, and having owned a few, I can see why.
Now I am looking to delve a little deeper. I've found a style that I love, and a size that I love, I just haven't found both in the same knife. So I come to the members of the forum seeking wisdom. Is there a knife styled like the GEC #25, but the size of a GEC #42, or a Northwoods Madison Barlow? I want a wharncliff blade, with a half stop, and the easy open cutout. I would prefer a nice wood handle, such as Che Chen Rosewood or Cocobolo. Any input or advice would be welcomed. Thanks!
