Lets talk GEC!

Some very nice Pocket Patina. Nice and buttery now.

A'ight
I assumed it was from the jigged natural linen micarta run back in '23 but see now yours is a lighter colour.

In 2023 GEC made 250 of the Jigged Natural Linen Micarta and 52 of the Smooth Natural Micarta 56’s. Mine was one of the latter.

I was noodling around and saw these posts I made when this 82 was fresh out of the tube. So I decided to take some current pics to show off the aging of the stag.

I want a 3 1/2 inch version with the same blades.

Let's meet in the middle, 3¾.

Or, both.

I may be ready for a 38 beaver.

Looks like I will have one on the way shortly, just paid the invoice this morning. Pretty excited for it! Thanks, Lyle wlfryjr for reviving the pattern with GEC!

3 very different flavors of GEC stockman knives. Carmel Swirl Acrylic 53, Amber Jigged Bone 91, Red Linen Micarta 81.

Alright, that is pretty straightforward.

I've never seen that background setting on the "End of the hall" pics, though.

A knife that costs the same as an apple?

Oh, Hey Johnny!

 

[Viper84]

Alright, that is pretty straightforward.

Upon closer inspection, the farmer is not wearing shoes. What does it mean?

Not a farmer, John Chapman. That would be consistent with the legend.

Fine Stag What I like about the Dixie is the interesting blade selection and the fact they ride so low, great in hand use and that neat cut-out. I'm with BDubbs (that's not blade rubs) would like a smaller version too, such an attractive pattern.

We share many similarities Will. I too would like a 3 7/8" version of this knife.

wlfryjr I'm interested by the Apples&Oranges Acrylic Lyle, it's very odd that one thinks of the Farmer's Jack strictly in terms of Bone, Stag, Wood etc but this works really well with the man made materials too Can't recall but were any made with fancy Cell scales? Probably not, but Butter&Molasses has me in its eternal grip

Thanks, Will

That's the other side of the building isn't it? Inspection , sharpening , Etching , packaging, rather than the assembly side. ??

We need to sell feet pics to afford all of the amazing knives GEC is releasing lately?

Just got my 38. I’ll be honest, the farmer jack is a strange knife.

Aesthetically or practically?

Johnny Appleseed, standing on a spot in the floor that looks like black spilled paint.
Johnny on the spot in black covers, and something else that makes it unique for this run, I’m guessing.
