Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

[Dr-Mabuse]

That is a sweet looking knife there, Doc! Looks like you've acquired your grail knife. Congrats!

What is the small blade?

I've never known GEC to use stainless steel liners but I'm no expert. I'm guessing nickel silver.

Thanks Rick! It's a stout little pen blade! The perfect counterpart to an elegant, slicey wharncliffe.

 

[ThePeacent]

my one and only slipjoint

unknown brand, pattern, steel or scales,

but I like the patina it takes

and how stiff it is

 

[LastRodeo]

The brand is Imperial, the pattern is Stockman, if the blades have patina, the steel is carbon, the scales look like some sort of synthetic to me.

[SadSappySucker]

This S&M arrived today, then immediately got "sheepfootized".

You do great work! That is a gorgeous knife.

That's it, I'm done! This could be my last new traditional for some time. I just got this from LastRodeo and it is so choice. I've found my pattern and this to me is apex of production half congresses. It's the right size, handle shape, blade shapes and it's so beautiful. I present to you my new GEC #62, number 25 of 25.

I wonder, are the liners are stainless or nickel silver? I've never seen this on a GEC before.

I could see how that knife could possibly end the quest for the perfect knife. It is a stunner for sure!
Of course it would be even better if it was in 1095.

That's a really nice pair of old and new red bone Paul!

 

[Will Power]

Hurrah for today! Too much sun streaming in for a proper pic but enthusiasm is what counts...

14 & 15 arrived this morning. The 15 feels very much more meaningful though....just my view of course.

Wow Paul really nice example of a pattern that if I could only have one knife would be my first choice, although is scratching my upper limit in size for every day urban carry

I believe this to be everyone in here lol


Oh look another knife

 

[5K Qs]

I wasn't sure how I'd like this knife, because acrylic really isn't my favorite cover material, but I have to say I like it a lot. It's jewel-like and pleasing to the eye, and the knife is really svelte. This is a perfect summer knife. Totally unobtrusive in shorts, and you can get it wet (sweat, spray from washing the car, seawater at the beach, whatever) and not have to fret about any damage coming to the blade or other parts of the knife from a dunking. It might not be my choice every single day, but it's darn nice to have the option of one that can take some abuse. The clip blade is beautifully proportioned, and a very nice choice for a single-blade knife, too.

Congrats on that superb knife, GJ; the tortoise shell covers are quite fetching! :thumbup: I've been trying to decide on a knife to give to my daughter who has been my Spanish knife "broker", and I think the pattern of her choice in tortoise shell might be the way to go, since she's sporting tortoise shell sunglasses frequently this summer.

Today, I got this Northwoods Norfolk in the mail (bought from the exchange). A long-time desire finally fulfilled.

Belated congrats on the pretty "pastel" Norfolk, Dean! :thumbup: Is that pattern considered a half-congress or a half-whittler or does the swell center make it a pattern of its own?

I'm impressed by your enthusiasm, Doctor, but aren't your first words usually "famous last words"?? :thumbup: Congratulations on a gorgeous knife!

Congrats on a couple of captivating crimson knives, Paul! :thumbup: The old Case red bone is magical, and I really like the clip/pen combination as an alternative to the almost equal-sized clip/spey that's so common for mini trappers.

Hurrah for today! Too much sun streaming in for a proper pic but enthusiasm is what counts...

Your enthusiasm is infectious, Will! I admire your pair of splendid scarlet-shaded slicers, too! :thumbup:

I've posted these knives elsewhere, but they ARE my newest additions, so I'll post them here too. They all arrived from Spain with my daughter when she came to visit. The first 3 she ordered for me from a Spanish website, and the fourth is a gift she got for me from a knife-maker in Toledo, Spain.

Thanks, Gary. I'm going to go with penknife on the Norfolk. At 3 1/4 inches, it is too small to be a half anything.

I like the look of that Zamorano knife. What is the closed length?

Thanks, Dean; your logic about the Norfolk seems irrefutable!
The Zamorano knife is 4" closed (including the little D-ring or lanyard hook at the end).

My new Imperial IP16S.

 

[Dr-Mabuse]

Psst, Delta! Get that thing outta here 'fore the mods see it!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Except for you Erik. :grumpy: You just watch yer step.

GT you're probably right... as usual.

Dean, I heard it from a good authority it that neither half-whittlers or half-congresses actually exist, only pen knives. This quality of non-existence makes them wonderfully light in the pocket. Hence, half-congresses are favorite (non-)patterns to carry. Mind you your Norfolk looks very nice as well, even if it is a bit bulkier. You should consider reclassifying it, the weight savings are considerable.

Love the Railsplitter
Might be dyeing that bone though. Its more wishy washy than I expected.

GT Thanks! Your knives from Iberia look very nice indeed, great haul the girl brought

I was briefly living in Liege Belgium and liked the Martin's various Pale Ales, too bad you can't get them in this part of the EU.

If you are looking for faux Tortoise, GEC's is the best but RR's is not bad either.

Regards, Will

 

[neal70]

Meako-that's the blue bone right(partial color blind and comp screens don't mix well). I really thought it would look much more solid than that?!? Any mention anywhere of the Queen #1l ? Lockback without the swing guard for this years production? I haven't seen them anywhere for sale.
Thanks, Neal
Ps really like the 'splitter tho-cloudy can just mean it looks like clouds

Nice to have these two TC's arrive today. Both 2013 releases, a saddlebrown saw cut Spey and yellow bone Clip...
