Lets talk GEC!

Carrying the RT Sheep Herder for the first time this weekend. I’m officially a fan.

Single blade 94s are better than two blade 77s.

I am willing to die upon this hill.

91 + 82
I should mention the action on the 91 is fantastic right out of the tube. About a 6-7 pull on all four blades with no grit, and killer snap on the close.

Cool pics! I really like the one with all the tang stamps together. You need a GEC-branded knife to go in there, too!

Here’s an interesting GEC I picked up this weekend. This #72 lockback was the Badger Knife Club’s annual club knife for 2012. I’ve been going to the Badger show for a few years now, and while you’ll often see previous years’ club knives for sale at the show, this was the first time I had seen one of the GEC-made models (the only years the club had a GEC-made club knife were 2012 and 2014). I love the fat spear on this pattern, and the double shield and etch are a nice touch.

I’m salivating.

Cool find. I had a #72 in stag, but let it go because I just couldn't warm up to the bulbous blade. I should've held onto it though, it was absolutely rock solid and had impeccably matched stag covers and an expertly inlet shield.

The houndstooth is my favorite GEC shield so I hope I can snag a cocobolo

 

[Elgatodeacero]

I hope GEC will go back to using Osage orange…. It has been a long time since they made a knife in Osage.

 

[Jakeywax31]

Thank goodness. 94s and farm a field. Have at em. I’ll be happy on the sidelines.

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

I’m ok with GEC acrylic, they usually do pretty good. I’m more concerned with the shield placement… kind of a weird spot haha.

It's a pretty traditional spot to have the shield, I've seen plenty of examples with that placement.

 

[DaveHS]

The 87 is favorite pattern. Love this Smooth Dyed Camel Bone

lotta character in that cocobolo!

 

[Quiet]

agreed, id be more tempted if the shield was in its usual location

Thwy probably put it where they did so that the acrylic wouldn't crack, because the head of the guitar and the pin hole would be very close together otherwise.

Ah. totally didnt think of it that way. im just interested because in my hs days fooled around with guitars and what not. turns out my instrument is the harmonica.

Am I the only one missing the connection between guitars and tomatoes?

If you suck at playing the guitar, people will throw tomatoes at you. Duh.
