Show off your 15's

[JTB_5]

Does anyone have a new cocobolo that they can put up next to one of the recent run of wood boys knives (the ebony B&C or something similar)? I noticed on mine that the covers are rounded, whereas on my stainless #15 old barn chestnut from 2016 has flatter covers. I was curious is that is something odd about the 2021 run, or odd about the 2016 run, or just something that GEC varies depending upon the type of wood.

Here’s a ‘16 in chestnut, an ‘18 in ebony, and a ‘21 in cocobolo. I’m not sure it shows in the pictures, but It looks like the ‘16 is the odd man out. The ‘18 & ‘21 feel more rounded at the edges.

Spaten.... I call that a tri-fecta.

Thanks! I wonder if it is the old barn chestnut? It is pretty soft. Also, now I really want one of those '18 ebonies.

Thank you, friend!

The softness of the chestnut was my assumption as well.

Gentleman, what is Barn Chestnut???

I'm pretty sure it is chestnut wood that GEC reclaimed from old barns (perhaps barns right there in Titusville?). Hence the name "old barn" chestnut.

Is that a recover? Such a beautiful scout!!

That is a Bloodwood Gunscout from 2015. It looks dark because the wood has darkened over the years and the day light was almost gone. Here is a picture from a few years ago when the Bloodwood was more red and less dark.

The cocobolo looks good on this run.

Maybe I will be able to pick one up the next time they run 15’s though.

It also would of been nice if they ran some with a pen blade.
That is a perfect combo for me and it fills the hand better than the single blade for me.

The jigging on the middle one gets my heart pumping every time you post it.

It seems like the production of 2 blade #15's is not common anymore. Not sure why, but I assume it has something to do with popularity. I like the single blade and two blades equally myself.

I guess you can call them a chain••gang
These two ebony B&C’s just landed.
Definitely enjoying the evening up here.
