Still? Were you expecting otherwise? That knife is less than a month old.

Perfectly comfortable in every way.

Thanks Tom, I know I am not the only one putting these beautiful #13's to work

I meant still going strong as in my daily edc! Haven't changed it out since it arrived is all. Sharpening the steel to a toothpick aside, I expect any GEC knife I own to last a lifetime with daily use :thumbup:

This Imperial came to me from a fleamarket seller. I got to talking with the guy, and when he realized I was a knife nut he wanted to see what I was carrying, so I showed him my powderhorn. He then told me he had some other knives and produced a roll of knives that he didn't display. this one had a snapped tip on the main, and a chip in the sheepfoot blade. He asked if I planned on using the knife, and I said yes, after I fix it up I would carry it. I re-profiled the tip, and took the sheepfoot blade in from the kick to eliminate the chip, these old blades were gound nice and thin, and take a wicked edge.

That is fantastic right there.

Thank you, Gary!
Could you believe they didn't even have to be weaned off milk?
They much prefer fruits & veggies.

MARCH has been MADNESS, but your WILDCARDS are definitely winners. :thumbup:

Today I'm carrying my favorite TC Barlow. It is carried often because it can be pinched open, has an easy pull and it's a spearpoint. It's also blood red. GT christened it "True Crimson." Photographed with the pocket slip that is it's home more often than not.

I'm carrying this gorgeous olive green Farmer I received from GT today. What a wonderful gift from a great friend. He also gave me a Petoskey stone (something I saw all the time as a kid, but never kept one).

Thank you Gary. This one will be frequently carried. :thumbup::thumbup:

That Gary is quite the chum isn't he?
He has great tastes in knives & naming them. :thumbup:
And of course you brought them to life with your photography, Dean. :thumbup:

1892

Not bad, for a one hundred twenty-five.
Always nice to see your beautiful encrypted treasures, Gev. :thumbup:

Love what you've done with this one. :thumbup:
You must have tons of stories.

/\ To be totally honest. I don't get to use my knives all that much..
The humidity of Southeast Texas where I live makes my blades get sometimes rusty. I have some stuff I use with green scrubby to get the rust off. And occasionally fine sandpaper cleans up the edges.

Is it wrong for me to still like its character?

Not at all.

Finally, a T-shirt weather day in the Dakota's:thumbup: was doing some yard work and found a small twig to debark on the bottom step of our deck.

The Orchard Gem made easy work of it.

 

[GuestWho101]

Not at all.

Great!
Because I'd like to see more of it & its siblings who have succumb to Southeast Texas PATINAS.

Posted this one in the "Sunday Traditional" thread, but since it's still in my pocket, here it goes...

Hello all--some pics from my hike this past Sat up Boney Mountain (highest peak in the Santa Monica Mountains) with my Randall 5-6. The peak was about 2900' and the entire hike up and back + a detour to a waterfall was nearly 12 miles (we think) and it took about 6 hours. The Randall 5-6 mostly helped with lunch, and I whittled a branch for a while during a break at an overlook.

Setting out:

Approaching an overlook:

Lounging at the edge of an overlook, approx 1700':

At the peak:

and another from the peak:

And at the waterfall on the way down, which we carefully climbed to the top of, approx 50':

Sorry if the last one was just out of focus--I was a little tired by then

Thanks for the pics up Boney Mountain. It's been a wet winter in So Cal and the hills are quite green. (Well green for LA says the ex-Angelino)

My pleasure--and yes, we were all talking about how lush everything was after the rains! --Yes, for LA. There were hillsides full of wildflowers too.
