Lets talk GEC!

black mamba black mamba show us what GEC acrylic can be 😉.

Here is my only acrylic. Circa 2008 if my memory is correct.

Yea it really is. I'd guess that my 33 is the "fanciest" looking knife in my collectionjust because of how great the acrylic looks. Super lucky to have landed it.

A couple recent acquisitions. I do love a good acrylic.
The 33 shield is kind of unique…like a houndstooth but a wee bit different on the “top” yes? Or would that be considered a variation of the houndstooth? Very very nice. Is the lower knife “tomato” acrylic? I remember a tomato acrylic from years past that looked like that or similar.
 
Previous “better” tortoise shell? Go on? Who has an example of one of those?

On older runs, their tortoise shell acrylic had a little bit of red in it. It’s been a while since I’ve seen photos of it, but I recall several people saying they preferred it to the more recently used material. Personally, I like the new stuff just fine. 🙂

Yep, it's a houndstooth. One of my favorite shields, not too much different from the spear shield, just a small point on top.20210711_091943_copy_864x1152.jpg

Correct, that is the tomato acrylic, really a beauty in hand. Hard to capture the depth and shimmer.
 
I remember the pony jacks in that blue denim acrylic. Still kicking myself for missing those. I had a 38 in kryptonite I carried a bit that was stunning too. I have a St Paddy’s day 61 rolling around the drawer presently.

Seems like acrylic either makes me hot or leaves me cold.

How does the 06 Pemperton measure up against an 85 Bullet End? Is it much shorter?
If possible, a photo of them side-by-side would be much appreciated?
