I bought this one to set aside. Seeing how I only caught the fever in 2010, I've got to do a little catching up

Very nice guys!

Ken, maybe I just haven't been paying attention but that shield on your knife is just great!

Now I have to go searching around to see if I just overlooked it or what! It could be the wood that makes it stand out

88................................that Laguiole is sweet!

Perhaps its a one bladed Mexican Bocote Wood.

And they get some thing diffrant....

That shield is out there...................it was easy to overlook, there aren't very many!

Maybe it's used on low-runs or limited knives...............more digging!

Not a very common shield on GEC knives. I believe most were on Tidioute models.

Collector Knives has 8 GEC models with that shield. http://www.collectorknives.net/greateastern.html

Doc's Knife Works has 3 http://shop.docsknifeworks.com/category.sc?categoryId=5

TSA knives has 10 http://www.shop.tsaknives.com/Great-Eas ... ry_c13.htm

I believe your right 88...I've seen them on the 73's, 25 barlow's and I have one on a #12 toothpick in rosewood...all Tidioute's.

It's a classy looking shield...

All the ones I saw,were on 2009 mfg. date, knives

I got this Lockback,with a bomb shield,that was 1 of 3 produced---I think,sometimes ,they use left-over shields,from SFO runs ????

Gunstock Jack · Post by **Gunstock Jack** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 3:24 am

They used that "bomb" shield on the Bulldog 23 sized LB. Also on the Bulldog stag trapper based on the 25 frame.

I wish Great Eastern would use more of the old style shields, like the heradic, propeller, and bomb. I notice they have the bar and a fillagree type shield now as well as the hourglass shape.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

That Bomb Shield has always been a favorite too!

Well after reading the posts. I feel like we added a more collectable feather (shield) to GEC. Will they add that to their list of production?

Here's a cherrywood

big monk · Post by **big monk** » Mon Jan 03, 2011 5:16 pm

Way ta' go Mike !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_________are ya' going to carry this one ????????? It will make a good companion,for that little snakewood,ya' got

Archer · Post by **Archer** » Mon Jan 03, 2011 6:35 pm

Yeah Monk this one going in the pocket as soon as I put the right edge on her. It is my first congress and I like the way it feels, also I'm diggin the 440C steel blades.

augustus88 · Post by **augustus88** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 1:18 am

Nice one! I'm really starting to like the acorn shield and 440C combination after carrying my Great Eastern Easy Open for a few days. I haven't purchased a GEC Congress yet.........hmmm...

Archer · Post by **Archer** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 10:53 pm

Augustus I like that combo too, ( Acorn & 440C) I have been looking at the GEC easy open but I can't decide which one to get. Which one do you carry?

augustus88 · Post by **augustus88** » Thu Jan 06, 2011 2:29 am

This is my only GEC with 440C and the Acorn shield. I just started carrying it recently.

Oh man, that is indeed some good stuff...ya think it'll be a toter or one for the vault?

Bought it to carry, but it looks so good. I need a good pocket sheath to separate it from my keys and other harmful debris roaming around my pockets.
