Scratching that itch... again...

[thejamppa]

Hello everyone... Its slippery slope

I had itch for a congress, toothopick or #53 from GEC. I scratched the itch getting one of my all time favourite knife yet: GEC Northfield bloodred saber ground toothpick... This itch is going to cost me quite bit...

... Today I ordered GEC Northfield 4 blade Congress in blood red bone with 2 wharncliffe blades and 2 pen blades...

... Dan this slop is steep and slippery... I am not really complaining, my wallet does that. Thanks to trades I ought to get before Christmas: Hen & Rooster gunstock stockman, 2x nice Case full sized acryclic trappers... + BF 2010 Forum knife and GEC congress... and... well... Something else nice... Maybe one more Canoe That last one wasn't hardly a surprise as people have little bit started to know me... and my.. preferences I just wish GEC would make Canoe pattern!! A nice one with Ebone handles and some really pretty acrylic (black pear looking glass and green velvet acrylic look nice)

Best part of it, most knives I so I didn't need to put new money at all on them... *sighs* yes and pictures will be here when I receive the knife. I am feeling like little kid at Christmas... Well I am and Christmas is soon. More slippies thank you

And to me fellow forumites, when you see me pass next you on this slippery slope, remember to wave

Fortunately for me, I lost my part-time job, and had to get off the slopes.

You have my condolences for that. My part time job ends in Decemeber. Then to the unemployment line or getting temporary job our towns Foundry. Sure, I read business management so I can be iron hand for rest of my life . That's why I get my last knives this year and focus next year on using them and learning properly how to sharpen free hand. But for now. GEC Congress, I am like little kid (mentally I probably am) at christmas. I know Congress is usually hate or love pattern and is not most popular patterns in here. However I was drawn to it. Heck if it was good enough for Abraham Linconln, its good enough for me.

Jani, at least it's knives and not drugs man. I have some knives I would never have contemplated trading, that are making their way for slipjoints. I think I've bought all the old slipjoints at all of the local fleamarkets and antique shops in southern central PA and central MD.

As for canoes, I literally lusted after one from Queen, with red bone scales. I had gotten a Case CV canoe earlier, and the Case was much better. I'd love to see a canoe from GEC.

Of all the congresses I have, this is the one I ordered specifically to EDC. Probably the one I carry most often. It was a 2010 so I didn't have to put in the the 2009 Congress collection
