GEC is well known for their excellent stag, but other premium handle material like ivory, primitive bone and horn are top notch as well.

Please post up pics of your premium GECs. I have ten Cuban Stockmen with premium scales, five each in stainless and carbon steel.

The variance in Primitive Bone is what makes it so interesting, I wonder how it will change with carry?

Jeff, you are right, GEC offers a lot of quality handle choices, I particularly like the Ram's Horn you show.

Thanks, Will
 
I've got an idea this thread is going to hurt my feelings. But, I can't wait to see the knives.

^Told you, lol.

Marvelous pieces so far!!!! I need to get a new keyboard, I think my drool is starting to seep into the keys.
 
OOOOOHHHHHH! That Hippo Ivory is mesmerizing me Jim!! And that Weaver in Mammoth, out of sight! That was a great Stag Conductor you sold me, gets used every day.

Thanks, Will
 
I wanted one in ivory but couldn't find one yet... Now I know why BOGGS bought'em all. LOL nice collection love'em all each and every one!
 
Here is another ram horn #48 with beautiful striations throughout, although perfectly smooth to the touch. Pile side the same, zero bark.

I was countin' on ya Boggs, and you didn't let me down! I'm with Will on the hippo ivory, just stunning!

How about some elk? Can you say, "Well matched scales, please!" GEC doesn't disappoint.

Great thread. Just a few contributions from me. I usually get the less choicy stag offerings but I don't mind a little inconsistency as long as it has character.
