Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Let me start by saying I've owned probably over 300 GEC knives, since 2006. I've seen and/or owned many different patterns and blade configurations, but I have never experienced this TOP level of fit and finish in a GEC manufactured knife before now! I knew there was something going on when I ordered and received one of Roger and Ken's (the new owners of the M&G brand) Boys bail and chain knives. Same thing, incredible in every way, but to make a Yankee Whittler and have it be everything in one pocket knife, well that ain't no small feet! From the tooling, machine work and down to pins, half stops and where to place the pulls or nail nicks, just fantastic! To get a Big Spear, a Big Clip,,,and a nice size pen blade in one knife is near perfection and certainly speaks to the originals by Maher&Grosh,(their knives were probably made mostly by Schrade Cutlery Co.) from 120 years ago. The craftsmanship is too much and like I said earlier, a new level of expert knife cutlery by GEC, IMO!



LOOK AT ALL THAT BRASS AND STEEL!


IMO, the finest GEC built knives of all time! Maybe they can top this, but I doubt it.

Also thank you to Ken and Roger for being willing to pick out my knives from what was left of the order, which wasn't much!

Dang it! Now I have to add another knife to my bucket list...beautiful knives for sure. Although a sheepfoot where the pen is.....

I knew you would!!
Here is its twin. A quick picture before it got too dark out. The Canoe is such a sweet pattern. And that Italian jigging.

You two guys are going to keep me awake at night. Those are stellar looking Canoes!!!

Latest from across the pond, a big thanks Will Power .
Received this in the mail yesterday from one of our very well known members in Finland.
Beautiful Case 87 pen with I believe are Walnut covers, also a nice post card with a picture of some of
the local wild life and some spending money to boot!. It doesn't get any better than that

Just got this one from @Alpha556 . It’s my first single blade 78 and I’m really liking it.

The pull is a little much for my thumbnail so I think I may try my hand at adding an EO a’la @paulhilborn

Some beautiful covers on that Case!

Thanks for your comment. First Case I have ever had in hand with wooden covers. I am pretty sure that it
is Walnut but it could be Chestnut. I am honored that Will thought I deserved such a fine gift.

Thanks very much, the honour is mine.

I think it's a Maple wood like BEM, the pile and mark sides are quite different though.

Enjoy your knife and life in good health

Regards, Will

Thank you! Yeah it's nice to have the clip point configuration when I want to carry it. Such a cool knife!

A nice patina makes these very easily pinchable.

Holy hell! This just showed up and I am in awe. My 2nd Jalomo. Not my last! Pepe makes one hell of a custom knife!

After a long long wait. Ryuichi Kawamura custom lockback stockman with reversed pen and wharncliff blades.


That’s not gaps on the liners to slabs lol. It’s just dye in the stag.

Almost what for what in hand to 81 stockman. Look how deep the blades sit!



I had this knife made to fix what I perceive as the shortcomings of stockman patterns with the intent to carry it (and mostly only it). But it’s so nice, I’m scared to carry it! The action is smoooooooth and pull on the slip joints is a perfect 6. Half stops on those. The lockback is the perfect force needed to unlock. I’m so tickled right now. Ryu really came through.
