A week or two ago, I posted a few crappy pics of my first GEC...and since then, my addiction is hopeless. Is there a cure? Hopefully not! LOL

Here are some better pics of my Northfield #66 Calf Roper in Burnt Stag

It wasn't but mere hours later, that I was looking for another to add to the collection. Then I found this one...

A Northfield #25 Wharncliffe Jack in Burnt Stag

This one came in, and I was so overtaken that I started shopping yet, once again.

This time... a Tidioute #56 Dogleg Jack in Antique Weave jigged bone

Nice collection! I only have on GEC, so far. I'm more of a Case guy.
Any idea of what you are buying next? Lol.

Well you see, I'm a Case guy myself...and I have several additions to my Case collection that I would just LOVE to add, if I can get over my GEC addiction. LMAO!!

But...to answer your question, I think I may just have to add another #25 but in a Barlow. I have been looking pretty hard at a #65 Ben Hogan as well. The Ben Hogan is quite a bit larger than what I normally like to carry in my pocket, but maybe I can make concessions. :D


Now my Case collection... well is that grounds for whole new thread. LOL!!!
 
Nice spread there, Johnny! Great pics too!

I would have to say that the Calf Ropers are my favorite GEC pattern. At least until they wow me with something new anyways.
 
Thanks!!

Ssshhh...dont tell anyone, but i'm eyeballing an ebony Barlow right this minute. Now where did I put my wallet? :roll eyes:

[Edit]

Well I don't know how I did it... but I showed a wee bit of restraint. At least for tonight, LOL.

Thanks again!

Yes I realize it is just a start, but I also have to realize that I don't have to one of every model hitting my mailbox in a matter of a couple weeks, LOL. The hard part, is seeing one that catches my eye and then seeing that there is only one left before going into "out of stock" status. At that point...who knows when they will get more, so I better jump while I have the chance.

I did end up ordering a knife last night, but I felt like I needed to take a couple days off my GEC addiction and throw my Case collection a bone, LOL.
