An Ancient Duo

 

[Will Power]

Which do you prefer?

Myself, I favour the original one more.

Thanks, Will

 

[Kiro]

Stainless 61 and 62.

 

[Will Power]

Great pattern the 62, wish they would do it again. That's kind of like GEC's broken record...

Ya know Will... I'm not sure I can choose yet since they both have their niceties. I really like saw-cut bone but macassar feels great in hand. Both have unique blade shapes but I think the original has the best blade markings. Still, the bolsters and pins on the newer ancient look more aged. I'm just not sure I can come to a clear preference, I'll keep workin' on it.

Playing with these two in anticipation of the upcoming run of 14’s

Wow, love the figuring in the wood on the 62.

Been chasing one of those for a long time.

Very tasteful
Really like the Ivory Bone version, an Ultra It's good they're releasing more 14s but I do think the Spear suits the lines of the frame more than Clip? But let's see how they turn out

Thank you James, I am smitten by the Bushboot, had one, sold it, regretted selling it, so when this one came along it was a no brainer

Have a fun and safe 4th celebration my friend

Outstandingly beautiful old knives Stuart!

Just wish GEC would have the guts to try their hand at Tip Bolsters...they could experiment with wood or micarta first then bone....

 

[Half/Stop]

D Duckdog Stuart I can only echo what Will has stated! Beautiful old knives!

Absolutely gorgeous knives, Alan. Beautiful pair. What are covers on the bottom one?

Will Power and Half/Stop Thanks, guys. I do like old knives and craftsmanship, but those two posted by Alan give us hope for the future (though tip bolsters may be a hope in vain).
