Lets talk GEC!

The remainder of the knives I picked up at the rendezvous. The knives are great, the people were better.

I know it's been said many times, but that 39 giraffe bone is simply stunning... big congrats on landing it!!

 

[mrknife]

yes, lotta nice variations were seen

I haven’t check the traditional sale forum in a while and some of those prices have skyrocketed. I’m seeing CRK prices for GEC. Is this as of recent? I might need to offload some of the collection

My rendezvous haul and some photos. Great meeting some of you guys in person.

Wow! Again, the abalone 86 grabs my attention, but so many great pieces you picked up. That ebony 44 looks very classy.

Thanks. It’s my first 44 but I think it’s a keeper. Kind of the ultimate 44 and also the memories of getting it at rendezvous. Be careful at rendezvous guys, I hard to part with knives you work to get.

Back to the single spey 39 run. Bill was inspired by a vintage Cattaraugus single spey on a curved jack frame that he was recently shown. He examined the knife and told the gentleman to show the knife to Randy. A month or so later we have a run of 39s with single spey and trapper configurations.

Here are the Cattaraugus knives (across the top center) and the club knives that were made from run. Not my pic.

Those Club Knives really pay homage to the old catalogue style

Peanut Butter, AND Marmalade!!!

Try peanut butter and honey (or golden syrup) on toast with lots of butter.

I use the spey blade on my Baby Bullet as a kitchen/spreader knife as well.

I will just keep enjoying the few that I already have, they bring me great pleasure... really no need for any more.

How very dare you we want more and more

 

[JohnDF]

we want more and more

They just aren't worth the hassle for me to try and get any more... may be fine for others.

Actually I agree with you, I was just toeing the party line.

I would have preffered gabon ebony,but sometimes you have to take what you are given.

It will be interesting comparing it to my ol 748117 which is a classic,cant wait.

Just happen to own a nice example of the Cattaraugus that this run is based on. Posted this in the 39 thread but thought it would be useful here.

Those Rendezvous 39s are stunning. Congrats to all that were able to get em.

That Cattaraugus is nice old knife Given the curve of the handle, how does it compare to the GEC 39 when you hold it in your hand?

 

[Jakeywax31]

T tomas_f The Catt has a more defined curve. They both feel equally nice.

I got this little guy for retail at blade show last week. I guess it was just sitting in their stock for 6 years. Definitely a keeper for me. Big thanks to the guy walking around with an armful of tubes that pointed me in the right direction.
