My 2022 wood covers. Looking back, I really appreciate the variety. Snakewood for the coon skinner will be a nice addition.

A beautiful year! Congrats

Nice Stag is always beautiful, but a shield makes a knife look complete. And if the Stag isn’t so nice a shield can make the knife look much better.

Incredible knives JW225 and madebyhand !
You make my point beautifully btb01 !

Got this nice toothpick in stag, with shield:

I also have the 2014 Forum Knife resting in its tube, but no photos of it.

Very nice, very underrated knife

Got my Shaffer whittler and absolutely love this knife … unfortunately it fell out of my pocket and scratch up the bolster pretty bad. Any thoughts on how to fix?

I have received pretty official word that a Remington 2022 knife is coming from GEC….!

Will it be based on the rabbit knife? A whole new pattern? Someone must know more…….

Just got this knife with bone scales. Wondering how long the polished finish will hold up on the 1095 blades.

Beautiful knife! Just cut a lemon or a lime and let it set overnight and you’ll find out.

Every stag knife I have seen, I imagine the knife without the shield. So much better ! The natural beauty of the stag, unadorned, unmolested, in all it's glory, to my eyes is so much better. For example, the 1st picture VS the 2nd picture. I will take the 2nd picture version every time.

Shields are great, shields do add to the beauty of GEC knives. But, if I had a choice. No shield, each and every time.

Yeah, I love the #25, especially with the spear point. That was an old photo from when I first got them. The sheepsfoot is still pretty mint, but the spear point has seen some pocket time.

I decided to carry it again today, so here’s a fresh pic.

Surface scratches can be easily polished out of a nickel silver bolster using a suitable metal polish and a soft (i.e. non-scratchy) cloth. I use Autosol - I'm told in the US Flitz is popular, and Case sell their own product which works well too.

If you've dented the bolster, or if it has deep scratches, then a different kind of fix would be needed. Perhaps post a picture of the damage and more qualified minds on here can advise?

But at least the bolster has done its job! Part of its function being to protect the knife from more serious damage.

Don't we just love when GEC updates the date on the same cover...

At least some new pics!

Thank you D dovidola . I still need to upgrade my profile so I can post pictures!
