Yet ANOTHER Son of Bladeforums #85 GEC

[mqqn]

Hi folks -

All this shipping of GEC Forum Knives had me looking at what GEC was doing with the new pattern - So I had to buy this one in Cocobolo!

A piece of art!

best regards -

Great looking knife! The scales look great on this one, and the long pull is perfect with the short swedge on the spear main!

Those carvings are stellar too! I struggle to make a darned spoon!

Nice knife Andy, and, super backgrounds for your wood handled knife!
What sort of knives do you use to carve those great machines, and pistolas??

Hi guys -

I wish I had carved those - but sadly I have to admit I picket those up at a garage sale - there were a bunch of them in a cigar box and I thought that they would make nice props for slip joint pictures.

I am going to try to carve some pistols though - I thought that was a cool idea.

I would use a whittler, but I have seen the "carvin' jack" online, but it is spendy for what it is I think .

As to the knife, the Cocobolo 85 is noticeably slimmer than the BF knife

I guess the blade stock for the driver/cap-lifter is a good deal thicker than for the small pen in the coco version.

Thats a fine knife Andy, that main blade is killer!

One of these in coco arrived today. Very nice... I only wish my coco was of the dark red variety. I'll have to keep my eye out for one of those.

Whatever the scales, that spear blade is spectacular.
