Two very nice pieces of folding cutlery, guys.
I thought these two needed to be together in the same post. FWIW, if GEC continues to honor the old patterns, they will be around for a long time.

TGIF folks!
Picture is from my archives. Carrying the Ohta Wharncliffe today.
The little clip point, which now has a broken back spring, was just delivered to Mr. Ohta in Tokyo this morning, for repair.

Thanks much Jeff !!! I am been lucky enough to have a Pal , Cammillus , and this Imperial that are all so much alike , that I can't tell them apart without reading the tang stamp . I guess I should spend some more time with them . I expect that all 3 of them were built in the 1939 to 1946 range .

That imperial stamp was used 1936-1952.

Pardon my ignorance I haven't got a traditional since I was really young. What is this single blade pattern called?

That’s the new GEC 14, a “boy’s knife.” It’s very small.

Nostalgia is half the pleasure of carrying this one, its the kind of knife we had as boys. Cheaply available in newsagents and ironmongers throughout England from the 50's to the 80s they have stood the test of time admirably. Apparently the ethos of the Richards company, by whom these and a range of other patterns were made, was the production of decent quality pocket knives affordable to everyone, man and boy alike. I've modified the hook disgorger/de-scaler into an awl on this one to make it more practical for everyday use, and the main spearpoint blade takes a great edge. Untitled by Blake Blade, on Flickr

Looks good Gary, and as you pointed out Mr. Ohta stands behind his work.

Thanks for the kind words about the Biltong. I like it a lot. It reminds me in some ways of a MAM sheepsfoot I have, but I prefer the carbon steel blade of the Biltong, and the external backspring on the Okapi is preferable to the MAM's friction folder design.

Thanks for the info, Gary. I really like the unique style , it looks like I am going to need to pick one up and give it a go.

Sorry for the poor photo. Black micarta 15 and Lannier today.

5K Qs Should I give the Lannier a name? Your names are always good. What about "Holy Toledo"?

 

[Fodderwing]

It's not bone, but the "checkering" on Alox also has incredible appeal for me. Fantastic pic, Dwight!

Thanks Gary. The checkered metal with really cool colors makes for a handsome knife.

I guess I'll post some of my carries later; gotta feed the dogs now.

You've only just retired... alas ... already going to the dogs...

A little Fun Friday

That is fun.

Thank you.

@Half/Stop Ron, it's not yet noon and you, @Jack Black , joeradza , and @r8shell have posted potent pairings, and JohnDF , @SteveC , Fodderwing , et al. have posted pretty pictures, turning this into almost a Thursday throw-down. Well, I'm not totin' a pairing today, but i did dig into a pile to pick my tote. I opened another box from the back room and found these, from which I picked a Model 18 from 1961-1971.

I'll post some of the others once I sort through them.

WOW! Outstanding!

Thanks Dwight, yours is very fun looking too. I have my eye on a Moore Maker knife, do you recommend the brand?
