A beast of a knife and one of my favorite shields.

 

[A.L.]

One of the GECs I wish I didn't let go.

The pulls on this knife are to say the least stout. The secondary blade is a nail breaker the main blade is in the 8-9 pull.View attachment 2501171

A GEC and three Case.

I have two so far, one new from Marbles and one old from Camillus. I wear and use both, very nice pattern, although I would prefer if the small blade sank completely into the handle or there was only one large blade

Got this one in 2018 and it is very hard to open but I wanted one with the Desert Ironwood . Never used yet .

Very beautiful! Is this one of those ones where the big blade had a Rockwell mark on it like the German Puma?

I see No Rockwell testing test point on the blades .

Love that old Camillus! I like the double pulls on the master blade.

2018 Rendezvous Knife - Plymouth Cordage Company Pinewood Whaler

The same batch of wood was used again this year on the Pinewood 86 & 32 SFA’s at the recent Rendezvous. Bill Howard confirmed this at the picnic.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

I had some Whalers and let them go as they seemed to large to carry and use - but I wished I had kept them both.

I have several 36s, and these I like a lot and are actually a size that can be useful - barely. Not selling any 36s.

Thank you, apparently the marks weren't on all the 2018 launch ones or yours is an earlier one?

My Ironwood Whaler came in the mail today.

Here it is with a #25 Barlow for size comparison.

And here it is in hand.

Now, let's not kid ourselves, these behemoths are impractical and a bit ridiculous, but I knew that when I ordered one, and still I wanted to experience the thing firsthand. There are, however, other things about this knife (that is to say, the particular knife that I received) that have left me a bit disappointed...

There is one with a horn lying around in the local shop, I am wondering whether to take it or let it lie there?

That one at the local shop looks like stag. Do you remember what type of shield it had?
