Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
I wasn't sure if modified knives were okay here but looking back through the thread there are a few
This was an early #23 in smooth bone with spey blade.
Now a re-profiled blade and handle.... Slicked up action ....lanyard tube added and 'lace' Sheoak scales. (All work done by yours truly)

Great looking knife Brumbly, didn't even recognize it as a 23. Great stump or old wood back ground. Sweet mods, one of a kind look. Congrats.

Thanks doglegg I'm pretty chuffed with it too.doglegg wrote:Better than new. You did a great job.
When I first did it, I posted it on a Face Book site I belong to and got a message from one of the GEC Engineers who let me know they were in the early stages of planning the #43 release and sent me some drawings. He was a bit bemused that I had dreamed up a similar design from an old #23.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
You took a cool knife and made it cooler, pulled it off, great mod and a coup. That wood handle is beautiful and you know when you see it it's not stock. Same with that blade profile. I like it, What would you call it, drop point or clip? Whatever, it's a great looking one of a kind look. Very nice.

Farside, don't know if they look ancient to me, but definitely not new. Great looking pair for sure.

Thank you. Your probably right. I think ancient looking is more what I see in the mirror every morningIvoryman wrote:Farside, don't know if they look ancient to me, but definitely not new. Great looking pair for sure.

Farside, I bought my mirror the same place you did. Do you have a plant named Arthur?

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
What a line up gsmith, that's a grand slam. Wow. I do like the spear they put on the new TCs though, love that one, but man when you miss out on the early reserve, and there are none at the dealer when they come out, and you can't bear the $300+ online flipping scene, then it's SOL. Same old story for me and TCs. Who said they were a fad and the price would come down? When? I'm still waiting and I know it's gonna be a long long time. Like never. Congrats on three beauties, the Orchard Gem 38 has fabulous bone too. Great Whittler too.

Iman I just happened to be on KSF's website when they popped up so I pretty much lucked in to that one.Ivoryman wrote:What a line up gsmith, that's a grand slam. Wow.
