nahh... mostly to porpoises.....I have a theory that GEC’s appeal most to those with addictive personalities...
Hardly looks like Bloodwood. This batch doesn’t seem to have any red in it.You are the guys that see the waterfall in them pictures, aren't you...

Purdy enough for me. Once these are complete they will be quite handsome and I will happily buy one.Hardly looks like Bloodwood. This batch doesn’t seem to have any red in it.
WOW! That dead skunk came out great! Glad you were able to get your hands on one. The cocobolo they used on the 15s is some of the finest ive seen, and your example is no different. Nice pickups you got there.View attachment 1525128 View attachment 1525132 View attachment 1525127 View attachment 1525129 View attachment 1525131 View attachment 1525133
I am astounded at the knives Bill Howard and GEC have been able to create. Make no mistake about it, we are fortunate to be collecting during this golden period of knife making. I do not believe we will ever see the likes of this again. Get them while you can!
cbr1000 , thanks for the compliment. Yes that is a Lone Star 35 built by GEC for Percy Richardson.
You might have to merge the "my knife is too pink" thread with the "my knife is not bloody enough" thread...Purdy enough for me. Once these are complete they will quite handsome and I will happily buy one.

Boy these down the hall photos don't reveal much these days.
I had the same thought about the mirror and 38... but can’t remember if someone (jiki?) predicted already a run of 83s? So I figured that idea was placed in my head and not actually deduced by me!Okay, you got me thinking about this down the hall picture a bit more. This one is tricky because it looks to point out the obvious, but there's a couple extra not so obvious things in the picture. There's a mirror there.. and an opposite sillouette of the green guy behind the mirror... If you look at the giant 38 in a mirror it's 83. Maybe a run of 83's is coming?
