Lets talk GEC!

Nice collection, JB!!! I'm sorry I missed those keychain knives!!

Thank you, Mr. C. There is a Waynorth Black Jack in there. Also carrying a S&M HJ2 today (not a GEC) but it was popping all the tubes. Maybe do more of the GECs tomorrow while I've commandeered the dining room table.

The 05's are nice, some interesting variety in the stag. I swap them out on a whim, but to me, a SAK Classic wins for being more useful.

Of course, but I'm still looking for one for my keychain!!

I looked hard, but seems like there was no separate thread on the new #15s. Outrageous!

I was really hoping for a 66 calf roper, the 66 lil cowboy misses the target for me!

Sometimes that's a good thing - keep some cash in reserve for the next one

I agree, lil cowboy falls a bit short, bit I’ll try and land at least an ebony.

Great looking knife!

Thank you! It is somewhat of a quintessential traditional pocket knife, I think.

Did you engrave the shield yourself? Little blurry in the picture, but from what I can see it looks good!

Right on time for Halloween, I like it

Thanks! Yeah, I use a simple electric engraver that works basically like a micro jackhammer. A while ago I got an idea of engraving my initials on my GECs' shields. Firstly, because I heard that's what those shields are there for. Secondly, because I love GEC knives, they are aesthetically perfect traditionals for me, hence I wanted to protect them from being occasionally sold (by myself) due to any clouding of reason of some sort. Lastly, it also makes them potentially a less desirable objects for stealing. And maybe a little bit of self-pride has to do something with it too.

P.S.: an occasional fun of engraving ornaments and such on plain-metal handles of modern folders occurs as well. If GEC shield is big enough I usually add a simple ornament there too, but I really wish I didn't, on some of them.
