I've had several requests lately from folks who've asked to see my GEC "collection"- such as it is. I was hoping my "lava lamp" #53 would arrive this afternoon- but the postman must be stuck in traffic or something.
Here's what I have so far:

Those with wimpy thumbnails need not apply! :D
Nothing to write home about- but there are some nice knives in there. If I had more money, I would have a LOT more. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of GEC and what they do.

Any other GEC enthusiasts out there? Let's see what you guys have!

All the best,

Andy
 
Great looking collection!

What are the scales on the knife that is second from to top in the left hand column?
 
Beautiful photos, Russell. They really bring out the best in those GECs.
 
Here is one of mine. I've got a couple more, but no pictures of them. I'm a sucker for stag, and the stag on this one is pretty nice.

You guys have me drooling over here! You're much better photographers than I. The Good Lord saw fit to bless me with natural drawing ability, but to deny me even rudimentary photographic skills.
I guess I'll break down what's what in my image:

Left column, top to bottom:
#73 Scout single blade, Brimstone bone- Northfield
#73 Scout green tea bone-Great Eastern
#73 Scout, black paper micarta-Great Eastern
#73 Scout, ivory casein- Great Eastern
#73 Scout, goldenrod micarta-Great Eastern
#73 Scout, green river bone, Tidioute

Center column- top to bottom:
#23 Pioneer, brimstone bone single blade- Northfield
#12 Toothpick, blood red bone- Northfield
#54 Big Horn Moose, orange crush acrylic- Northfield
#53 Cuban Stockman, dead skunk acrylic- Tidioute
#54 Muskrat, American elk- Great Eastern
#23 Pioneer, green river bone- Tidioute

Right column, top to bottom:
#25 Barlow, brown sawcut bone- Northfield
#25 EZ Open, blue basketweave bone- Northfield
#25 Sheepfoot Barlow Jack- Patriot acrylic- Tidioute
#61 Congress, Blue River bone- Tidoute

My new #53 "lava lamp" arrived today- it was shipped to my house instead of my office accidentally. Luckily, my wife didn't see it. It's super sweet- nicer than the one I thought I was going to receive- probably just as nice as Xbxb's. SUPER nice acrylic on that one.

I still need a Sunfish and a Sleeveboard. There's a gorgeous "looking glass pearl" acrylic sleeveboard I have my eye on, but that thing's $$$$, I'm afraid. This economy needs to pick up so I can buy more knives!
 
I got my first GEC a coupla weeks ago and am impressed with the F&F of it, really got me looking at this companies offerings. And you guys don't help! I think I have a line on a #53 Lava lamp...I really like its looks.:thumbup::D
 
Hlee, if that was a single-blade liner-lock that would be my grail slippie - GREAT stag!!!

Moonwilson - that's a mighty nice #73 Scout, ivory casein- Great Eastern

I only have the one so far. I like it a lot, although I had to take a file to the tang so that it didn't break my nail opening it, and also to the kick because the point of the blade stuck up just a bit and kept grabbing at things. Overall, I love the quality and the stag is top notch.
 
I found one of those red white and blue ones and it's mine. Just wanting for the cash to pay for it! :thumbup::D
 
Only one so far. I wish they offered more patterns with ebony, although some of the stag has tempted me sorely.
