Lets talk GEC!

Bump with a little 29 love.

I wished the 29’s had been 2 springers, but I love the idea of them.

Is it just me, or are your carvings getting older and grumpier as time goes on?

I hope the new #38 run is as nice as the 2018 run was!!View attachment 1527294 View attachment 1527295 View attachment 1527296

Fantastic group Charlie!! I'm especially fond of that ebony. I think you may have made a small typographical error. That run was from 2015

Isn't said that artist just copy themselves subconsciously?.
IMO the 29 is a great little EDC knife that was overlooked at the end of 2019 with all the other knives being produced.
Bring on them 38s.

I really like it when collections shrink down, you can really tell what means the most to the collector.
You have a small but mighty collection, and I like the way you seem collect in pairs.

Thanks. I definitely feel like I’m finally honing in on knives that appeal to me. There’s a couple GEC patterns that I’d like to add but I’ll wait until they (hopefully) run them again - 68 and 66 jacks come to mind but I’m sure there’s a couple others.

I’ve also reduced the number of Case and Buck knives I have, so my total collection is moving this direction as well. I only kept the ones that were gifts or had some personal meaning to me.

I was joking with my wife this weekend that I’m not a very “good” collector because having too much stuff seems to cause me angst. Anyway I feel recharged and excited to see what’s on the horizon for 2021.

I get the exact same feeling.
I end up feeling like an "accumulator" rather than a "collector"...
If i get too many, I end up with knives that don't really mean anything to me.

OK, I’m now officially excited about the new 38’s. Are these Splitback style with 2 springs or are these going to be 3 spring Whittlers like the recent 29’s?

The jigged bone for the Northfields is looking good.

Same setup as the Grinling.

Those bloodwoods are going to be great. The jig bone for the 38 appears to be similar to the jigging on Charlie's lamb. Should turn out really nice.

Looks like there will be some nice fixed blades coming up soon. I have one of the smaller H10’s. I may have to get one of these Bocote versions in in the larger H40 size.

Looks like they are making some Cocobolo versions too.
