Thats crazy.
I could have sworn I remember seeing one. I thought an old member of this forum had one. My mind must be slipping. ::dang::

I like the #12, but carry the topmost #12 in this picture only on special occasions. The other two knives have been given away:

Will, those are some nice knives.
The #12 is a slim classy carry, easy to save for special occasions. ::tu::

Here are the three I once enjoyed, alas they are not fireproof.... ::dang::
This one was my favorite GEC for a long time.

Loved the deep red on this one.

Here is a #12 in the powderhorn variation.

Beautiful primitive bone on this one.

This knife was given to me by Ryan Daniels many moons ago, it was his EDC.

P.S.
I actually have another powderhorn laying around somewhere.
I'll look for pics.

GECs #12 t'pick was an early favorite when I started collecting. I regret passing on the ebony & beavertail powderhorn jacks way back when they were readily available. I've always thought the 2-blade 'pick would be more interesting and useful with a slim muskrat clip on the main blade.

JT mentioned yellow rose bone. Would love to see GEC do that on the #12.

I used to dislike that pattern/shape...but NOW I'm really wanting a couple. One for every day carry and a nice "Keeper" for my collection. All of these here are beautiful to me! I'd keep em!
I'm actually looking for one NOW thanks to this page!!!!
