That is a gorgeous knife Charlie! Love reptile themed acrylics. My 86 tortoise is one of my most carried knives.

Sorry for the little Old Timer. This is an old photo and my eyes are getting so bad I didn’t even see it until I posted it!

What is the lower knife? Looks like a dog leg, but I don't recognize the acrylic...

I forgot you had a tomato 62! Any idea where the 3d one is?

Beautiful knives folks, hope to see more acrylics from GEC in the future.

No idea.... I think Charlie waynorth has one.... I can't remember the other members that have them. Why the 3rd?

Based on the 2011 GEC numbers I think there are only 3 620311 tomatos out there.

It’s the 18 beagle with runaway acrylic covers. I took that picture the day we adopted our dog Gibby, named after Bob Gibson hence the autographed baseball. It was the day after Bob Gibson passed away

Really? Mine has the number 13 engraved on the bolster. I assumed there were a few of them made... it would be interesting to know how many actually were produced.

edit: according to the GEC website, there were 25 serialized made, and 23 un-serialized..... so, 48 in all....

I’m tracking

I wasn’t tracking the 2 blades at all, something to add to the list...Ive got a 3 blade in tomato that’s supposed to be 1 of 3. They apparantly made a handful of 62s in other low production acrylics I’ve never seen, including a 1 of 1 chocolate swirl.

Did it darken with age?

No fishing today, but got this salmon home nevertheless.

Did it darken with age?

No, Alain. As far as I remember, it's exactly the same! Acrylic seems pretty stable in a drawer!!
Nice Saumon!!

Thank you for your answer and appraisal of the salmon. At first sight when I received her, I was a bit upset by the lack of black streaks, like most others have. Now, I prefer like it is, pink mop (both sides nearly identical).

Or is it cotton candy (barbe à papa)

One of the first acrylics I brought into the collection and made me want more!
