Well, it saddens me to point out that you guys are clearly wrong on this point. Besides the obvious superior features of the Owl, I challenge you guys to try and find a brass pony bead!View attachment 1693695
One of lives rules-Don't in any way shape or form let little girls get interested in Pony's. It is a certain way to the poor house, you thinks knives are expensive.
What do I need a brass bead for when I have a pony in my pocket?Well, it saddens me to point out that you guys are clearly wrong on this point. Besides the obvious superior features of the Owl, I challenge you guys to try and find a brass pony bead!
I was lucky, I had boys.
But then what would I do with my beads?View attachment 1693744
Found by searching for "brass beads that look like a horse" - if you say "pony" instead of "horse", you end up with all pony beads. But horse/pony/equine beads are out there. Or you could just put the knife in your pocket.
There were some marrow on GP. I was torn between the two, but went with red micarta. I really like the shield and color, and I guess most of my knives have micarta on them.
I don't think the GEC fixed blades get the attention they should, but I guess that might be a good thing given the difficulty in getting folders now days. I saw GP's offering after I got one off GEC's site. GEC was $119 plus shipping. I think the last one I bought in 2017 was about $85 all in. After the pain of higher prices wears off, the use these little guys get makes me happy. I'm a fan of the H23 Upland and Canoe as well. You just have to keep some food grade mineral oil and a rag handy lol.
I see it as a somewhat flashy and practical hip carry when I'm hiking. My other fixed blades are an enormous 3V bark river that I would not carry around, or some tiny EDCs.
Love the rotten banana bone covers, probably my favorite dye done by GEC! I don’t have one yet, but hope to land one someday! You have a lovely example there!
Thank you. Back in the day the dealers posted pictures of each knife they were offering. We seldom see that anymore since they fly off the shelves so fast. Good luck with your hunt.
I think that must have been before my GEC years, but I don’t recall even seeing that before! That’s quite a knife!Did anybody ever get hold of one of these? One of GEC's more eccentric productions this 56 Weaver Jack with three blades and springs, must be thick....remember them hanging about for some fair time back then. I bought the 2 blade Spear and the interesting single Hawkbill/Pruner. But the Weaver keeps haunting me...
I like beefy jackknives, but that one looks like it would be uncomfortable when using the clip or pen. Unless the big loom fixer blade sits lower than I'm imagining.Did anybody ever get hold of one of these?

Just curious. Did your trade ever come through?I sent him a message last night to say yes,I think he's fallen asleep in his chair after thanksgiving as no reply yet.
