Recently, I found a grail, and paid through the nose to get it - a Great Eastern Cutlery branded #68 White Owl pen knife in stainless steel, 1 of 5 produced in Light Chestnut Jigged Bone, new in tube. I had already owned a Tidioute (it spent a brief stay with someone else, but I called it back when I got the stainless, because I thought it'd be nice to have one in each blade steel.)
Prior to this happening, Will Power had sent me a gift as a thanks for getting ahold of some recent GEC releases for him. He didn't tell me what it was, and I figured it'd be something cool and inexpensive. It was lost in postal world for a while, but it finally arrived during this process of assembling the previously mentioned 2 WOs. Turns out, Will sent me a Northfield trim #68 White Owl with removed bail and cocobolo covers. My excitement about the wood and cloud shield aside, I realized, this will be the first time I have had an assembly of the same pattern on the same frame in all three GEC brands.
I was excited for a week and a half to get home and get a shot of all three of them:
So! Let us see your Tantalizing Triumvirates, your Holy Trinities, your Hat Tricks, your Triple Plays, your Threes-Of-A-Kind, your collection of Great Eastern Cutlery knives across all three brands of the same pattern and frame. Also encouraged would be if somehow you have different frames/patterns but the same cover materials across all three brands, but I'm not sure how many of those actually exist. We do already have a GEC Group Shot thread, so that would be a good place to feature your mix-n'-match sets of the three brands.
