Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
After a long search and much assistance by fellow AAPK members, I finally picked up this SFO #85 Smooth Ivory Bone, Single Blade, Bullet End Jack, EZ Open, Liner Lock. Not an easy knife to find (for sale at a reasonable price anyway), about as common as hen's teeth as far as that goes.
Thanks for all the help, guys...(you know who you are)...VERY much appreciated.
Especially Jay (JAYLUPARK) who found this one in his collection and agreed to sell it to me for a really fair price. You Da Man, Jay! (PS He currently has a bunch of other really cool knives for sale on the Bay that I highly recommend checking out.)
Cheers & Aloha,

In the master's chamber they gather for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Thanks caddyman...I still can't believe it sometimes myself. But, like I said: it was a group effort...I couldn't have done it on my own without all the help from my AAPK brothers. One thing about buying from, swapping with or selling a knife to a fellow AAPK member: you know it's going to a good home where it will be loved and well-cared for. Most of these knives I swap have become almost like a member of the family to me, as I'm sure many others can relate to.

#82 in Osage Orange.
I really like the size (4 3/16") and all 3 blade selections.
The blades sit low in the frame (when closed).
More great ones from GEC.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
That's a beauty, Mark, and one that I would definitely carry and use (depending on the difficulty of the pull) How would you rate the pull on that one?

It is one of the lighter pulls that I ve had on a GEC. I would say a 5 or 6. Definitely NOT a hard or heavy pull. NO halfstops on this one. Smooth opening.
The African Blackwood with the slanted bolsters look good too...
Mark
That 85 smooth ivory bone is great. Love it
Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
I finally broke down and got this #42 Natural Stag Missouri Trader. I was hoping to find one with a wharncliffe blade, but the stag on this one was just too beautiful to pass up. It's a big knife, though, bigger than I realized. If I were ever to carry this pattern, I would have to use a belt sheath...too big for pocket carry, impo.

Yup, that stag #38 Whittler is a real beauty...and, it's yet another one of those that cause me to fall to my knees and scream out in agony to the Universe, "Why can't I have every knife I want?" But, then, the Universe, in its infinite wisdom, reminds me that I just waaaaayyyy overspent on three ivory handled knives: the Northwoods Elephant Ivory Willamette Whittler (second from top), the Northwoods Elephant Ivory Freemont Jack (third from top) and the Scagel Elephant Ivory Barehead Jack (bottom). As much as I love stag (and believe me, I REALLY love stag), I simply cannot resist ivory (and I'm worried that someday soon it may not be available...at least not legally).
~Q~
PS--I'm including the photo of these knives in this thread because the Northwoods are made by GEC, so, technically it's appropriate.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
You picked a nice one there, gino!
I just got one of these in natural stag, too. The knife is special to me because it was released on the day my son was born!

Here's a sweet little trifecta of Northfield Tan Sawcut Barlows I was fortunate to add to the collection recently:
And here's a pair of #15's with Nifebrite handles I just picked up:

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Mailman brought these two today --- both very well made--medium pull & good snap -- the "pick bone" jigging is some of the best,I've seen lately from GEC*** seems they captured that ""Ol knife look"" with these

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Thanks Mike. I would say a 6 to 7, really not bad at all, definitely not a nail breaker.
