The bone is a fantastic color, excellent snap to both blades. It’ll be a joy to use this one!

Thanks J, and what a beauty that Yankee B is. Love the sawcut bone and the color of the antique yellow. Also great picture in front of that flower pot. Fabulous, congrats and hope you love that one.

Good score. To get any GEC is a score, but they were really hot sellers. Did you try and be greedy :lol: and get a cocobola as well??? ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Congrats, that's a beauty. Love the wormy wood and the TC and long pull and everything about that knife. Scooooooooore. And I was also under the impression that we had seen the last of the SFOs, but I just saw some other 14s in saw cut bone and this chestnut wormwood and maybe a Cocobolo fresh out, dated 2022. Good to see more TC Barlows and Lick Creek, there aren't enough of them out there and we always neeeeeeeed more. That's fabulous.

I was intimately involved with the boys knives initial release , as Charlie was with the TC Barlow, therefore Bill graciously afforded us the opportunity to do an SFO for those reasons only.

Mine will become increasingly rarer because PAYPAL HAS PERMANENTLY SUSPENDED MY ACCOUNT BECAUSE OF SELLING POCKETKNIVES!!

The #14s are a very unobtrusive carry and I like the blades and size. Also the Barlows and the Jacks.

I REALLY like the Montana Workhorse Whittler and the #54 Harness Jack. Both are big stout real working knives with powerful blades.
It seems to me that GEC no longer make large multi-blade knives. Or have i forgotten some of the releases of the last 5 or so years ?

This is one of my top 5's all time. Loved it since I got it. My first GEC knife actually. The action and stout spring lock up, gator snap. Can't even describe how it's right in every way to me. Good bone too.

I understand Iman. My first GEC remains special to me. Your knife is very good looking as I would expect of a GEC.

Wow, scrolling through here, some beautiful knives fellas. This one isn't quite so pretty, it's been a user since I got it. I love the bone, the action, shield, stamps, the swedge on the spearpoint main and the way the roundness of the back of the blade looks with the teardrop shape of the handle. To me, it has the looks of a really classic old knife. Only thing I would change would be the coping to a pen to keep with the rounded anesthetics, but that's a small thing. I think I paid like 80 bucks new for this one originally if I recall correctly

Dude, that is beautiful. Bravo, what a looker. Love the bone, jigging, and those two blades, the EZO. And the patina. You made the coup of the year when you bought that one for $80. You completely stole it. Congrats on that one, should be a family heirloom and passed on to the next generation it's so cool. wow, thanks for showing that, I knew you were hiding some beauties somewhere. Wow. ::tu:: ::groove:: ::dang:: ::not_worthy:: ::clapping:: :mrgreen: ::ds::
