I've wanted to do a GAW for awhile now, but was waiting on a knife that struck a nice balance between personal taste and connection to the Forums. Well, that knife finally came in the form of a mod-ed GEC #54 I recently got back from Glenn. He did a fanstastic job and was extremely generous with his time in putting it together. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to "pay it forward" so to speak. As for the mods themselves - Glenn changed the covers to walnut (I believe), the shield, & altered the factory spear to a sheepfoot. This mod reflects my favorite traditional blade combination...so, the knife represents something I personally like a great deal, while at the same time connecting itself to great members like Glenn and all the skill, knowledge & generosity folks have here.

Anyway, I don't do much around here but post pics and comment on others' collections, but I enjoy this "place" so thought it would be fun to give back.

Playing is simple enough - just post "I'm in" in the thread to enter and on Thursday noon Pacific Time I'll choose a random number as the winner, based on the number of entries (the old "numbers in a hat" routine). I will ship anywhere in the lower 48 (that's the only "catch").

So post away and maybe share a few thoughts on the pattern & why you like it etc. for good measure :)

A few notes to bear in mind as you consider interest: the pulls are about a 7 or so, strong, but not killers; the blades are absolutely razor sharp; this pattern is a hearty one and has a nice heft to it.

Now for the pics:

Good for you, man. I don't want to be included in the GAW, but I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your efforts. I hope to do the same some day.

It's a cool knife.
 
Not an entry, just wanted to say how that knife looks! Great job Glenn and good on ya David!
 
Thanks guys - Please let the above be the only remaining "not an entry" posts though :) I want everyone to play! ;)
 
I'll jump in and say "I'm in"
I think it would be great to own a knife with that kind of story and generosity behind it.




Plus I don't have that pattern and would love to try I out lol
 
I'm in! That's a great sized knife. I like to carry my traditionals in the coin pocket. That eliminates a lot of knives due to size. I've never owned this pattern or blade combo, so I'd love to give it a new home :) Send it on over to TN!! Thanks for the opportunity.
 
Thank you for a chance at that beautiful knife.
I really appreciate a coping blade on a knife, and as much as I love my Eureka Jack, I prefer a clip main to a spear.
Simply fabulous.
 
Looks great, love Glenn's work. I'll throw in if you don't mind. Thanks!
I think the #54 is one of the best big GEC knives (mainly because of half stops.) Waiting for a full on cattle knife but they only have the cam tang 53. This seems like a great combo with a straight and curved edge!
 
David, BEAUTIFUL knife and I would love to be entered. Thank you for the chance at a great knife...really like the blade combo:cool::thumbup:
 
That's a beautiful knife.
I'm working on making some black walnut ink this year so that walnut speaks to me.

I'm in
 
Not an entry.

Thank you for hosting this and giving away a Fantastic looking mod'd knife!
 
I'm in and thanks for your generosity! It's a beautiful knife, a fantastic mod, and my favorite combo of blades!
 
I'm in, and thanks for the generous giveaway! I don't have a clip/sheepsfoot in my tiny collection, and the covers look beautiful.
 
I'm in!
That knife hits on many of my likes for a traditional knife;
Glenn modded,:thumbup::thumbup:
Equal end jack, Long pull clip on both blades, Traditional wood,
One of a kind look with the custom shield,
Best of all a Sheepfoot straight blade complementing the clip's belly for versatile use.:thumbup::thumbup:
Excellent knife! Thanks for the opportunity!
PICK ME PICK ME PICK ME:eek::D:)
 
I am in. Thank you David for your generosity. I love the size and blade combination.
Glenn did a terrific job on the mods to this beautiful 54.
 
Very generous of you sir! I love the blade combo, it has the best of all worlds (belly and straight edge) all rolled into one. I really like the walnut too!!

I'm in:)
