With all of the SFO news with GEC I decided to pony up for a Maher & Grosh Yankee Whittler. I’ve always admired them, but never felt the pressure to try one out until it seems like there may not be anymore; and I can’t afford secondary prices. I think I got the last one in their stock in cocobolo. I’m excited to see how this three blade feels! I’m not a big fan of multiple blades, but I love the 78 pattern, and I like both clips and spears!

I really enjoy the #29’s. So I have one of these jigged bone M&G versions on the way. With the end of SFO’s this might be one of my last chances to get an M&G that I like.

Joshua and Trav,

Congrats. These are both stout, versatile, and extremely very well built knives. I like them a lot (use both). I hope you are as pleased as I am when they arrive. Some recent pics.

Happy July 4th,
JB

I probably shouldn't have, but I did it anyway.
I just ordered a (BTI) Old Timer 23OT 4 blade "Scout" knife with saw cut Delrin covers.
(1) It might be a little less of an pocket anchor than a "Demo" knife. (Not a big concern. My 30 inch wallet chain lanyard weighs more than the Demo knife, anyway.)
(2) The covers will match when I carry it with my 858OT or 858OTB or 280OT, and 25OT 2 blade slipjoint folding hunter. :)

I ordered a GEC 38 special in bocote. I liked the 12 quite a bit, so I thought I'd see if the 38 feels as good in hand. The blades are slightly different, so that might be an issue. I really like the shape of the blade on the 12, so I'm hoping for the best... great price on it, about the price of a new Case knife... so how far wrong could I go? Pics when it arrives...
