The Jigged Bone version is on constant standby whereas the Ivory Bone is a store and adore subject :cool:

For me, the 38 is the best pattern GEC has made, versatile it is in all its forms.

I think it’s form is the classiest of classic pocket knives. The symmetry of a well ground pruning blade is professional artistry.

Here’s my set of all of the GEC made farmer’s jacks, model number 383215. The pick bone lick creek is my favorite, and one that is in my pocket just about everyday. The two Tidioute micarta ones are users as well, but since acquiring the pick bone they mostly stay in the collection box. I’ve got a couple of old print trays I need to modify a bit to make a wall hanging display for these and some of my other favorite GEC’s.

Congratulations.
Of GEC’s , I believe that’s all of them, two more individual knives than I have. I never got a black camel bone or one of the smooth ivories I had made without the shield. The smooth ivories were to be scrimshawed and scratted ; ancient history now.

Thanks!

Interestingly enough, one of shieldless white ones is marked as a “2” knife. The gentleman I got it from said that he acquired it directly from you at a knife show years ago. I wonder if some of them escaped as 2nds unknowingly?

Don’t understand the 2. I asked Bill to leave off the shield on 5 or 6 ( for the purpose stated. neither he or I could remember the exact number , that’s the numbers you quoted). I wouldn’t think it could have had a 2, as I paid for all good knives.
What show, and who was that gentleman?

Impressive collection FuzzyH0bbit FuzzyH0bbit , I was hopping GEC would roll out some Farmer Jacks last year with the 38 run.

So was I, then I realized I’d have more to chase to keep my set complete, so I was a little relieved. Love the english whittler they did though.

Here’s a closer shot of my favorite user 38 along with its ebony brother and another all time favorite carry GEC.
