In 2017 we had the 81 Bullmoose and I believe it is the only GEC marked with “CKC”, Carbon Keeps Cutting, on the tang (correct me if wrong)

corona virus finally got me so havent been to work to upload pictures the last few days, had to break out the new laptop that i still didnt finish setting up

48s! another core piece of my collection. I usually prefer the big clips but Bill seems to have lost the die in the factory somewhere

Hope you are feeling better, Jack!!

I like big clips also, but I like the slim lines as well!!

suppose while im convalescing at home might as well get to the favorites

It all started with this one and lead to an obsession for this model. However it is quite rare as I have never seen another. Thank you LastRodeo for passing it up all those years back.

It was so rare, I was reluctant to carry it after getting it deleted to my liking and taking it to GEC to get corrected. A good forum friend BigBiscuit gifted this to me upon learning about my reluctance. We used to joke about him just kicking a new knife down the driveway before sending it over.

This one comes from waynorth from our earliest meetings and one of my first gec rendezvous. He had heard my plight about the drive home and missing the end of the auction on a red soup bone that was ending by the time i was supposed to make it back to brooklyn. Little did we know the closing bid in those days is something a lot of people would willingly pay for one these days. And yes I did miss the close of the auction, ill blame the gps . One of my earliest gec barlows and before the term soup bone came into vogue. Used to keep that one in a plastic bag filled with mineral oil to keep the bone safe much to the amusement of forum buddies and collectors

Charlie would be responsible for filling quite a lot of spots in the barlow collection! Here is another curious trio! Another rendezvous score! One from Dr-Mabuse and the last one to come in recently!

Another one from BigBiscuit part of his last collection pass off before his passing.

A chicken in every pot!!! But this one is a special rarer chicken and has always stayed with me, the peachseeds have moved on. Others may have opted for the pony cut but this began my obsession with smooth bone

And the 440cs! only one to remain and survive the purges.

I think 2017 was the sheepsfoot barlow that year but this remained

Most recently, this one joined the collection a spear and end cap! Lightly used and sharpened but a keeper all the same.

To this day they remain one of my all time favorite gec patterns and Im grateful for all the friendships ive developed along the journey chasing these things.

thanks Charlie! Fortunately it doesnt seem too bad so far, some fever, usual minor symptoms but it did throw a small wrench in the plans for the next two weeks proceedings

Wow wow wow! Some real beauties! The 15 with the end caps is one of my grail knives and was watching it on ebay but was unable to watch the final countdown. I was so disappointed but congrats to you! Feel better soon my friend.

thanks! its tough these days sadly. Ebay used to be such a fertile hunting ground and had many a gem in my early days. Sadly its currently filled with profiteers. Gotta be careful who you deal with because for some its just about the dollars, they dont give a hoot about a cool knife.

Just noticed this thread and wow, thanks for everyone posting. Only by the grace of waynorth and years of chasing do these single clips live together. All different, in the center is a recover by Esnyx that I carry a lot.

Very nice complete set of Acorns. I remember when those sat on the shelf for months because everyone turned their nose up at the stainless. How times have changed haha
