Lets talk GEC!

I hadn't been lucky on a single drop since late 2020, but on the drops today I scored both a #15 TC barlow smooth autumn bone and a #15 boys knife cocobolo.

I guess you just have to be persistent, but it does get stressful after a while!

Not to mention that sweet Viper you scored on the exchange...

That was very fitting btw!

very nice! unfortunately for me that email went into the spam folder

Well I'm pretty lucky- my wife went out of her way to score a 15 in cocobolo for me today. She even called me excited about it. I've been enjoying carrying my 152118 recently; it's a very simple but very well designed knife.

Haha yeah. I ended up changing my mind on it later, so it may still be up for grabs!

Recruiting help for GEC drops.

I am on the West Coast (US) - morning "drops" (got the email around 7:30am) are never good for me, I am 100% going to miss them. Getting kids out of bed for school, walking dogs, and making the most important beverage of the day take precedence.

Obviously, I am not a fan. That said, what makes for a poor time for me is likely much better for another so I can't complain. Like always, you win some and you lose some.

It’s rigged I tell ya! It’s rigged !

Let me guess... "missed it by that much"?

That's just so cool my friend ! It's great when our spouses join in our excitement over new knives , even if its only once in a while lol

That knife is certainly going to be very special
( do you think you can do anything for her that will be at least equal to what she did for you ?lol )

When I got the email with the invoice for mine I asked my wife if we could talk for a few minutes lol, about another new knife .... and then she was like " "Yeah go for it honey "
Last evening we watched together a few youtube videos about GEC on our big screen tv and I was a happy man

Not a huge stag fan, but that upper persuades me.

Thank you buddy- I was pleased to see you can add a cocobolo companion to your #93!

I think you're right that she deserves a kindness in return. Seems like your wife understands your habit, too. Not all knife nuts are this fortunate.

To add a touch of harsh reality, however, it is a point of fact that in our house I'm not allowed to show her knives unless it's my birthday.

Congrats CelloDan and EngrSorenson . My wife has been very understanding about my GEC addiction and been eager to help me score a couple here and there. I think she's as excited as me (almost) when she gets it.
Here's a couple Cocobolo in the middle to wet your appetite.

Those drop point 25s are so nice. Especially in stag!

 

[texmex03]

I really like the drop point 25s!

 

[Will Power]

@Leslie Tomville Thanks very much for the background. As it's an early knife, I'd be inclined to believe it is a prototype in very small numbers. If Christine were still working at GEC she'd likely be able to tell you. Horsecut Jigged is superb stuff, like to see it again but I think the earliest GECs didn't use in house bone but bought it from Culpepper, so it's rarer than ever

Regards, Will

Wow! That’s a great looking knife, that stag is killer!

it didn’t bother me until now that the stallion doesn’t have a lanyard hole...

Mustang but yeah the lanyard hole would be much better. ( And not just for symmetry )
