Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

^^^ Nice Score Todd^^^
.
This one arrived 1/2 an hour ago. My second attempt at a Queen #09 in Curley Zebra. The first one was a disaster and went directly back to the dealer. I was actually scoping out the new walnut line of 09's, and happened across a dealer who actually sold me my first GEC. He had a CZ 09 that I asked him to inspect. All the feedback indicated a go! So glad I pulled the trigger. Wood is amazing, F&F is top notch, great walk and talk, no gaps, and NO BLADE STRIKES on all three blades. Very happy. I am about to leave town for the rest of the week, but more (and better) pics to come when it hits the wild.

No pictures with a beer just yet (too early in the day), but I'm so happy to be in the "crownlifter club." And my first GEC to boot!

Ok guys, I've a confession to make. Had a relapse on my knife addiction and had quite a binge the last few weeks, a couple from nice guys on here and the rest from dealers. I kinda blame it on you guys!:p

 
That Burnside is looking good in the lineup, Nick! I understand weakness to one of a kind knives!

Beautiful knife Bonzo; perfect clean flow, no unnecessary embellishments. And, as fine as they are, it is nice to see something other than GEC.

Really, it is Thank You for posting. We all get pleasure from just looking at pics of a well made knife and this Ray Cover folder is a style that appeals to me greatly. I think of this as "Essential", meaning, everything present is needed for it's function; no 'dress up'.
And then, a very well made 'Essential' knife like this, with prime handle material, becomes 'elegant'. (the elegant elephant !) ( i hope it's not Micarta)

This is my newest, but the photos in this thread have inspired me to up my game!

Nice! What is that handle, bone?

Nick, that is "3rd Cut Stag." It is smooth but somewhat porous, although the stabilizing process has likely made it fairly water resistant, and left it with a nice and smooth but somewhat waxy finish. Every handle cover is different. This example has a "marbled" effect.

Charlie Campagna and GEC came up with this after requests for stag handles. The use of "leftover" or waste from processing of antlers allowed Charlie to present a "stag" handled Barlow while staying true to the spirit of traditional Barlows: a working knife for workers, with "recycled" materials and a minimum of waste. As far as I know, stag is not really a traditional handle material for Barlows.
 
Stopped by Coldwater Seed & Supply in Tuscumbia, Alabama (which is coincidentally next door to Sheffield, Alabama) earlier today on an extended lunch break. Picked up this Sway Back Jack in chestnut bone. Next on my list is one of GEC's similar patterns.
