Lets talk GEC!

And we still don't know what shield will be going on the Snakewood #81 - given the other animal shields introduced this year, would it be too much to hope for a Racoon shield?

I was hoping for the same thing! 🤞 I know a lot of the snakewood handles end up with the cloud shield. The raccoon shield would be stellar
 
I imagine the bunny knife will have some Non-sfo variants. I would love to see it with a single blade with a bike handle.

Reminds me of when I first moved to SF many years ago and got my first BMW motorcycle. I was going to get a vanity plate that read, “Sweet One”. A buddy of mine who was born here started laughing and told me that wasn’t a good idea. Took me a while to figure out why. 😊😜

Just picked up the spyderco sharpmaker system and have been loving it. I was struggling getting my knives sharp on the traditional stones, guess I have issues keeping the angle consistent. I was just curious, what angle do the GEC users here on the porch sharpen to?

If you got it new, there should be a Instructional DVD/CD and a rather well written set of instructions enclosed. Watch the CD and see/hear why Sal included both 30º and 40º angled slots in the base. Also, listen up for when he talks about "breaking the edge" of the stones. You made a great choice. I use one often.

They are truly Beanie Babies for men. The prices on Fleabay for ones I cant sell here for much much less are ridiculous!

Took a couple new GECs on their first camping trip! Well, it was more like a car glamping trip because the nights were so cold I just slept in the back of my Jeep every night. Either way, I got some good user time with my H30 in Black Onyx Jigged Bone and my TC 14 prepping lots of food, cutting some cordage, digging out a few splinters, whittling a cooking spatula, breaking down beer boxes, cutting up my meals, split up some small kindling and lots of other little tasks.

Hope everyone had a killer weekend as well!

My favorite post on the forums in some time. Stellar!

Are my old eyes seeing things that aren’t there or is that a bunny head behind the raccoon? 🤷🤞 Please excuse me if this has already come up.

Where's a bunny? I just see some old beer barrels.

No in progress pics of bunny knives yet, either. Not that I keep compulsively checking or anything...
