Not gonna get both, as I already have a houndstooth in bocote... ::shrug:: so I guess the burnside is out for me, too similar. I'm thinking it's gonna be the Fremont, I just gotta wait a bit to pick one up. ::dang::

I have this #46 for use as an EDC. Still haven't got a sheath made up for it but have been using it to open packages and
do some work in the kitchen. It's no chef's knife but holds a killer edge and works for food prep better than I expected
it to. Even with the wide and short blade it slices and dices quite well.....removing some of the silver skin from the venison
would have been easier with a slimmer, pointed blade.....but like my other GEC's in 1095, it takes a razor edge and that makes
any task much easier. So far, so good with this pattern......can't wait to get a few more miles on her.

Great pics Trevor, thanks for sharing! I can certainly appreciate seeing a knife used in the kitchen, most all of mine end up doing some kitchen duty eventually!
Hey by the way, don't I recall you having replaced the shield on that 46 at some point? ::hmm:: Great looking knife!

Thanks guys......and Yes Mike, I had the shield replaced.....it had GEC's Bull's Head shield on it originally. I wanted the look of an old Platt's E-Toe and Kaleb did a great job on it for me.

Trevor,
The knife looks good but the 3 pictures look like you were about to indulge in some venison stew! That's the 3 main ingredients, onions, taters, and Bambi ::tu:: ! Just showed the pictures to Miss Joy and she approved and she commented, "Is that the only knife he's got?" :) Women!! Them GEC's are starting to grow on me just a little bit.

It was too hard not to carry & use this one. Less than a week old and it's seen some stuff.

The words vintage and antique are vague. Actually most words are vague. Even the word vague is vague.

Glad to see you boy's using those GEC's.... ::tu::

Rex I could have used that Lumberjack this week when I helped a friend clean up a wild hog he shot, but the 42 Trader did OK.

It surprised me the way blood seemed to blue the blade... 8)

Don't really consider myself a collector, I just pick up the ones I like and use most of them.
These are a some of my favorites.

I ordered a second #42 in Olive Drab Linen Micarta for the EDC pile. It arrived today and the lockup is tight. GEC Stainless holds it's edge very well and these #42's are a great size at 4 1/4" closed. ::nod::
