GEC Huckleberry Boys Knife

Posting the same knife every day probably doesn't draw as much attention.
But I have to say, I like it when I see somebody developing a favorite knife. Gives it so much more meaning.![]()

Thanks Jack, I’ve had a nice weekend! Meeting Duncan and Paul at the 2017 Rendezvous was definitely a treat. Both are genuinely great guys. Pam and I look forward to seeing them again hopefully in April at the Oregon show!![]()

Jack, is your GEC #85 a Forum Knife with cap lifter? Wonderful pair, and I especially like the second photo, but why do all the sheep have red marks on their hindquarters??
...
I carry these four every day, regardless of what my rotation schedule dictates:

My long time friend, Uncle Henry 897 stockman. I've had this one since 1985.
As it happens I'm carrying two knives again today that have struck me that way when I seen others post them. One is the Case canoe, and the knife that was posted that gave me that twinkle in my eye was yours GT, I thought the deep blade etch of the Indian was the bees knees. The other I'm afraid I cant pinpoint the exact person or knife,although it may have been D Duckdog that posted a one armed barlow with stepped bolsters that I thought was really cool. When I saw a nice example in a case at the antique mall my heart skipped a beat. Anyways heres a reused pic![]()
Certainly a couple of stunners Stuart! The Case is very nice but "carbon keeps cutting!"![]()
My Saturday totes are a couple of wildly popular patterns from their countries of origin; a BSA Fieldmaster scout from Switzerland and a CJ Barlow from England.![]()

My Peanut of the Week is a stainless Case delrin model I won in the first GAW I entered on The Porch (thanks, Cory):

Great setup for another harvest Stuart; heck you can even snap into a 'biner and rappel to your final firing position!![]()
After seeing @5K Qs chose a sowbelly in his knife trio, I decided my Sunday totes would be another "surf and turf" version; a BB Winchester sowbelly in abalone and an Imperial EO jack in bovine.

I'm carrying these two today, my very first GEC, a kind gift from my dear friend Duncan @Campbellclanman , along with the Hartshead Barlow which seems to be glued to my pocket at the moment![]()

This nice little Boker today. Have a great Sunday.

I’m starting off again this morning with my Case 6347. Later in the day I’ll probably change up after I get back home. I hope everyone has a great day!![]()
![]()
These old timers make great EDCs. No worries! - just a couple from a bunch I rotate. I think the shield is from the early 40's? The Barlow possibly earlier. Great snap, half stops & decent centering on both.

Carrying my new Calf Roper and a #43
Your double yellow is mellow, Stuart, and that Case stockman is definitely attractive!You should hunt down a Case like that for yourself.

Stuart, those doves don't have a chance against you!With your ear plugs, they can't even count on your hearing their pleas for mercy!

Todays totes are a Bull Moose from GEC and a Daddy Barlow from the Robeson strawberry bone era.![]()
I didn’t get to carry stag on Saturday.So, I’m making up for it today!

Queen #10 today
Today's light rider
Great choices, Jack, and fine pictures, to boot.
Looks grand, Dean!What made you decide to start carrying it now?
Thanks for the compliments, Dean.My peanut would have looked even pointier if my pic hadn't cut off the tip.
I hope the new schedule doesn't disappoint you; not a lot of new knives, but I'm sure there are many new (essentially random) combos due to the way I put it together with each category independent of the others.

Charming knife, Dean; I can see why you've kept it for a third of a century!
I carry these four every day, regardless of what my rotation schedule dictates:
