Thom, about the GEC #66 - You can run, but you can´t hide

I'm afraid you are right
This one has been with me for most of the last week.

Got this old Boker 1/2 Trapper with me today! I really enjoy carrying this thing. It has some awesome old bone and the action is perfect. I dig
the saber grind on the main blade. Just an all around great old slip joint....imho.

Thanks Paul. I agree, the pattern feels really great. I wanted one for a long time but couldn't find one that really appealed to me, then this one (and a #62 in palmwood) came along and I just couldn't resist (arrived just last week).

I'll be carrying this knife again tomorrow. I already fell in love with it for some reason.

Paul, I dig that Clip blade on that Barlow! Looks like a dandy...

I can see why! In fact, I spent some time earlier this evening looking for your first post of this knife, so I could see it again (once I did, I quoted your post in the current What makes a ... barlow thread ). Little did I know that I could've just waited a scant hour longer, and you'd post it again.

This one has been with me for most of the last week.

Sweet, sweet knife. I watched you grab it; very nice catch!

I like these knives a lot (one of the "can't go wrong with" patterns, in my estimation). I really like the bone on yours, which you captured nicely. Sail on.

thanks! Here is a better shot, its quite detailed.

I believe that fish is a Vince special job. It's a really nice touch.

I have a spear point of his with old tyme micarta just a shade lighter.

 

[CoffeeCat2112]

Nice knives, fellas! :thumbup:

This is my favorite pattern at the moment. Except yinz seem to be missing a blade on yours...

Edit to add: Derp! The pics didn't come across in the quote. GEC Boy's knife.

Man, I'd love to get one of those Boker barlows with the tree on the bolster. Nice!

I already love that picture for the music. Streetlight is by far my favorite band.

Today I have my Case 1978 6292.

 

[CoffeeCat2112]

Time delayed double tap. Weird.

 

[dannyp]

Thanks, Blaine. I came across this one as a bit of a fluke on the 'bay while looking for the Boker made Russell Barlows. No one else bid on it, so it ended up being cheaper than what the Russells were going for at the time. I've never seen any others for sale with these same wood covers.

Here's what it used to look like. The chestnut tree logo is one of the coolest out there IMO.

 

[CoffeeCat2112]

Thanks for the extra pics! Do you know what kind of wood it is?

 

[dannyp]

Not sure, but my first thought was oak due to the grain and open pores. The seller didn't have much info on it and they don't seem as common as the bone handled Barlows. I didn't even know whether it was carbon or stainless steel until I started using it.

Gonna get as much milage outta this pic as I can, anyway, I'm still carryin' the 2012 GEC Traditional Forum's Wharncliff Trapper.
