Lets talk GEC!

[Cooter Brown]

Someone asked about this #77 Yankee Jack the other day, and I couldn’t find a better photo of it at the time, but I’ve since found this one, so I thought I’d just leave it here.

I think that was me, and thanks.

I think the 77 and 78 are GECs best all pattern. So much nicer than the scaled down version.

I like the 14 and 15. So much nicer than the scaled up version.

I like the #15, the #77 and the #78. Also, the #14 is nice.

And, and...
It would be easier, for me, to name the ones I don't like as they are few and far between!

All best in SPEAR whatever the frame

Truth! Unlike their overgrown brethren, the proportions of these are juuuuust right.

 

[EngrSorenson]

I’ll take one of everything, please!

In smooth white bone, please.

Make mine 15s...sorry for repost, I’m traveling and carrying an expendable Alox.

 

[EngrSorenson]

In smooth white bone, please.

How much do you love that smooth white bone number six? The blade combination is nearly perfect, and I have been tempted to get one.

It really is a great little watch pocket knife. The single wharncliffe blade ones were tempting too, but since I already have a #18 Coyote, I couldn't justify getting both.

 

[Buzzbait]

In smooth white bone, please.

Yes. Much smooth white bone!!!

 

[Boxer .45]

Buzzbait your inbox is full.

 

[Frailer]

Much to love about white bone.

 

[KnifeandEasy]

Are we sharing smooth white bone? Mine has some imperfections, a little porous and ununiform in color. But I enjoy it for those very reasons!
My first GEC by the way.

 

[Jiki]

Swb you say?

Will Power absolutely agreed. I have owned dozens of clip bladed 14, 15 and 77 framed patterns. All that remain are the spear pointed variants. Dramatic looks are one thing, practical performance is an entirely different proposition. They also are much tidier in the pocket as the blades generally ride lower than a clip.

Why exactly do you prefer clip point over the spear point in practical performance?

Asking out of genuine interest, because I am just trying to get my hands on some clip #15 or #77 as there is spear point in my collection everywhere you look. Your statement makes me feel like I am moving in wrong direction.

I read his statement as clips were more dramatic in appearance, but spears better in practical performance.
