Here is my Big Jack EDC, carrying for about 8 months now. I just put a forced patina on her and I must say...I am in love all over again. I almost hated the carbon steel because of maintenance. The forced patina WILL NOT RUST. It looks like the flange area on a Harley, after its been heated and cooled...about 10 different colors in the sun. Black as night in normal light and inside.

50/50 lemon juice and water over night. DO NOT SUBMERGE YOUR KNIFE. It will ruin handles made of natural materials (stag, wood, none etc).

The back springs are solid black just from everyday use. I think its a great way to stop worrying about staining your EDC. Its not reversible unless you re-polish so think ling and hard. Thanks for looking! See yall on the Grid iron in a few weeks

Trand -- You must be special. GEC isn't even showing the #74 on their website as being released. Congratulations. Love that Wharncliffe.

Thanks Gino.

I'm not that special Jerry :) The ones on (or will be) GEC's website are (will be) #74ECs. They're based on the 2012 Bladeforums knife I posted.

(If its bad form posting another forum's knife, let me know and I'll edit.)

On pages 8 and 9 (maybe 10 or 11) Trevor showed this 85:

I do not know why he felt I should have it but from the bottom of my heart I say THANK YOU!

I got this 72 Scout in a trade for a Case Yellow Trapper CV and we each think we got the better deal!

The 85 is now a right front pocket staple. The 72 doesn't get carried all that much.

I have a question for the GEC knowitalls.... Did they do or will they do any Ebony 76?
I might have to settle for Chestnut Jigged Bone, but I think Ebony would be it!

Yeah, I saw that at Collectorsknives.net

It IS black....

But I think the subdued black of Ebony is what is called for.

But who am I kidding? With my job being what it is probably no buy it myself GEC in the works.
