Lets talk GEC!

Yes. We had some ebony recently. Wouldn’t mind seeing black linen. I’m not sure if GEC ever used it. I know Northwoods have, and it’s a great look.

I think they use black linen on the farm and field knives.

I have a Templar #48 with Black Micarta... It's as smooth as Delrin.

I'm thinking the Bayou Trapper could use some Brazilian beaver wood. We haven't had any in awhile. What say you all?

i think a nice green/olive/brownish jigged bone or burlap micarta would be nice, it would be a great "Bayou alligator" reminder! hahaha

I agree. Custom makers used it regularly in the past. You don't see it as much anymore. Probably due to all the new colors and materials. I have a couple fixed blades with it and like them a lot. It comes with circular grain that almost looks like woodgrain. It's tough and I like it much better than OD Green.

Thank you. I agree, black linen is nice and not used a whole lot by GEC.

That red looks like maroon or burgandy micarta.

They have in the past, at least on the # 71 Bull Nose. I have one I recently acquired. They've also made them with black delrin. I have one of those, too. Fairly easy to tell them apart. I'm probably in a minority but I like the delrin better - at least on the # 71 Bull Nose.

Looking forward to a possible new #77. This version is one of my favorite pieces.

Whoa!! One of the more exciting ones I’ve seen lately, beautiful piece you have there.

That would be cool. How long has it been since that was used?

Is that real abalone or acrylic?

Here’s my Aqua 12 JW225 along with two of its siblings. I think the 12 is a very elegant pattern.
