Your first GEC

[Jack Black]

A very generous gift from Duncan in New Zealand, particularly as it was his his favourite knife

Rust red white owl

In their early days they only had a large trapper or folding hunter type handle and an equal end handle. I don't recall which of the two I bought first.

Picked up this WLST on the Exchange as my first GEC. Still have it. Still love it.

I still don't have one, but my reverse snobbery has come a cropper on the upcoming Churchill.

After randomly stopping at GEC's factory for a tour before going to QCC, I picked up........

My first was a #56 (Dogleg Jack) at a East TN knife store in 2011. At that point, I was trying to convince myself to spend the money for a GEC knife. Got over that.... Now, I have eased off the buying a bit.

My First GEC; a #68 spearpoint White Owl I purchased from @gunstockjack.

Here is the very first image I uploaded to my then-new (now RassnFrassn) Photobucket account:

The knife, new:

A favorite detail, the Northfield stamp on the bail:

These pictures remind me that I should carry it more often!

Because yes, I still have it. Here it is, my First GEC, with the latest one in, a #68 Pony Jack I picked up in Titusville last month:

That's a good one, P.! The Northfield stamp on the bail really is nice detail!

 

[seas165]

wow, that stamp on the bail is a very nice touch

#61 four blade snakewood Northfield congress 610410. Remains one of my favorites.

Pretty sure it was one of these two.

I have since gifted my first GEC -- an OD linen micarta #15 caplifter -- to one of my friends. But that was the knife that inspired my GEC obsession. Here's my collection to date, obtained in order from L to R

Good array of frames, blades and scales there

But, I think you need a Drop-Point

 

[rdrogers]

My first and still one of my favorites.

And a very fine Acrylic it is too. I'd like to see a return of that and Pumpkin Patch too.

Thanks, Will
