Lets talk GEC!

Was thinking to do a custom one with my family's coat of arms

It really is a fantastic shape for an engraving; even initials would look good there. It might look a little TOO plain without, in my opinion.

If they would have actually etched it like this it would have been way cool

They have to be stamping/etching with the Un-X-Ld logo, it looks terrible blank.

That’s not what I expected for the shield, but I like it! Also, the jigging looks fantastic.

Ok, so uhhhh...I mean....that's what, a "shield shield"?

Shield inception.
People wanted more shields, and they listened.
Two shields for every knife.

That jigging is amazing! Shield is interesting.

Agree on the jigging, it's admirable. The other thing looks like a gravestone

I heard from a source (can’t say who) that GEC won’t be leaving those shields blank. I’m not sure I’m allowed to say what it’ll be, but I can say that it’s not UN-X-LD.

Aw, what the heck…

Aw, what the heck…

Lmfao! That’s hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!

They should laser engrave a dolphin head on there LOL.

It's always best to reserve judgement with GEC till the finished pictures are posted. Aw screw it, this is the internet go off half cocked as you will.

 

[JohnDF]

Lol... you crack me up.

This has been posted elsewhere, but thought it should be in the GEC thread as well.

FINALLY!! With the most gracious help of Mike Latham (knifeswapper), this week I added the last two pieces to my GEC #53 Cuban Stockman collection. Thirteen years it took me to gather up one each of the 53 different handle variations, many of which were only made in single digits. The knives are displayed from top down and then by columns, in the same order as they are listed in the GEC production totals.

Thank you again, Mike, you've made me very happy to achieve such a long-term goal.

That is quite a wonderful collection. Weird that there are 53 variations of the 53?

 

[black mamba]

Weird, but appropriate! Thanks a bunch.

Lol... you crack me up.

Lol. That's awesome! A new twist to the hotdog shield. Can't wait to get mine.

 

[EngrSorenson]

Congrats black mamba !!!
That’s great work!

My cousin works at GEC and he told me the next pattern coming out is th 53. Good luck. Just joking. The 53 is one of favorites. Nice bunch you have there.
