Obviously pretty new here, and to this point could only post pictures of my "old fellows".

This week, my family took the occasion of my birthday to remedy that with my first GEC, a 54 Moose:


I'm going to echo everyone who has previously posted that "pics don't do (their knife) justice".

I'm sure everyone here has multiple examples of this handle material and pattern, and it will be a bit ho hum to many but......WOW. I'm blown away by GEC. This knife truly comes alive in your hand. I can't stop looking at it in different lights, different angles. The build quality, fit and finish, strong pull....you name it. 😍

My poor, poor wallet.

O

A fine choice and a beautiful example!!!! Congrats

I have three new ones that came in the last few days. A 65th anniversary Schrade Jack knife. Looks like a Washington Jack, but sized between a 15 and 77. Nice bone on this one.




Next is a Canal Street Pinch in dyed bone. They look Burgundy colored. And finally, I jumped at the sale Derrick had on the Presidentials. If you don't have one of these, you should.

Just got this Wiseman in the mail today. My first Wiseman but definitely not my last! I can already tell this knife is going to spend a lot of time in my pocket.

wow that's beautiful!

My latest is this Canal Street Trapper from KSF. I love the backstory on this knife, being made from chestnut boards reclaimed from an old tobacco barn from Kentucky.

There is a picture on the net of the actual tobacco barn before it was torn down. The story is that the owner of Canal Street bought the wood, and then showed up with a crew and tore it down by hand. This is supposed to be that barn just before it came down.

Chestnut wood has to be reclaimed from some prior source, as virtually all the chestnut trees in North America where killed by a virus in the first half of the last century. It is used for lots of cool stuff, like the sides and back of this guitar, which is described as "wormy reclaimed chestnut wood."

When I ordered mine, I asked the KSF people to do a "character check" and find one with as many worm holes as possible. They came through in spades, as mine actually has a nail hole in the scales! Now that's what I would call character! I am a pleased customer, to say the least.

Now that Canal Street has gone the way of the chestnut forests, and the old Hoover tobacco barn, I'll treasure this beautiful trapper for years to come.

Great photos and backstory, picturerock. I just ordered the CSC English Barlow with the same reclaimed American Chestnut. Photos to follow when I get it.

Finally, after months of wishing and admiring, I decided to get this Burgundy Micarta Northwoods Presidential. I am so glad I did!

Congrats, Dean! :thumbup::thumbup: The Presidentials look so elegant to me!

...Thank you Gary, busy here indeed but I see light at the end of the tunnel:thumbup: Do to the long hours I found my check was larger than usual...I went a bit overboard but justify it as an investment
...

Good deal, Paul! Lots of that investment justification going on around here! When I make my occasional knife orders every 2 or 3 months, I tend to go a bit over budget, too, but I can't convince myself that the investment rationale applies, since I usually go for mass quantities of inexpensive (but very functional) knives that few others find appealing, so there's plenty of inflow of knives to me, but almost never outflow. I think of it as cheap entertainment!

I got a few in this week. Winnies and the Toothpicks are all early 87's with curved date stamps.

Thank you Paul!! :thumbup: Been stumbling on to some good ones lately!

You're livin' large lately, Robert!! :thumbup::thumbup: Are the Winchester toothpicks all single blades?
That Wenger is great, and a very "seasonal" red!
I find it hard to believe that you've just "been stumbling" on to these fabulous scores. I think knives are like pornography or cat videos online - you don't just stumble onto that stuff, you have to kind of know where to look!

Congrats on your new trapper, picturerock, and thanks for the informative story about the source of the covers!

Beautiful Barlow, Dean! :thumbup::thumbup:

I recently received some Chinese Imperial Schrade knives from Taylor LLC (see the box - I love that old Imperial blacksmith and anvil emblem!): two cracked ice celluloid canoes (large and small) and a yellow small sodbuster. Great knives for the price (but scary stories on The Porch about outgassing celluloid have me a little worried about my canoes ).

Thanks for the comments, GT.

Those cracked ice look real nice. Although they are called celluloid, sometimes manufacturers only use that to make sales. Regardless, it won't hurt to keep them in a different room than your other knives. I put mine someplace so far away that I can't find it! I don't think it is good to take chances with celluloid, beautiful but dangerous!

Thank you and you have some great new additions Gary!!!!!!! Love those cracked ice Canoes!!! :thumbup:

Yes, all the 1924 Toothpicks are single blade.

Here's a better pic of the Sowbelly.

 

[btb01]

Love that yellow! Although I do have a couple, I'm not a huge fan of the color on Case's yellow Delrin knives, but that yellow... that looks sharp!

 

[Wheeler80]

Got these in the mail today. There was a RR Peanut also but I gifted it to a coworker. I couldn't stand to see him try and cut things with that "tactical" gas station knife-like thing that he had anymore. It was so dull and loose it was more dangerous to the user than any assailant.

 

[mrknife]

this just in!

Thanks for the advice, Dean (although I hope the highlighted phrase is an exaggeration ). Maybe I should put a tackle box in the garage for celluloid.

Thanks, btb. It's definitely a vibrant, forceful yellow on that Imperial sodbuster!

Lookin' good, Bill! :thumbup::thumbup: Can you help an old guy out by IDing your acquisitions? Is that another Case stag peanut, or is that amber jigged bone? Is the top one a Coats custom?
