Show off your favorite GECs!

[Just Plain Dave]

I should get my first GEC late this week or early next.

It is a #73 in Mexican Bocate (or something like that)

I can see however that I must have a #25 or two and a Cuban or two as well!

Those equal enders with some "meat on the bones" really turn me on!

I am not sure it is my favorite, I typically don't care for acrylics, but this one is very nice to me!

Thanks for the kind words Knifeguy70. Glad you enjoy them.

[WelderBob]

I got this nice one from Jim.. ..It's a handfull of knife...

[FLymon]

Finally bought a Northfield #73 Scout Burnt Stag with Long Pulls
It may be a little soon to say it is my favorite knife, but even having it only a couple of days I can say it is easily my favorite GEC! Am I the only one who thinks the Spey blade might be the better of the two, and would make an outstanding choice for a single blade #73?

[Just Plain Dave]

I've had my Bocate (sp?) #73 Scout now for a month or so.

My Spey has been 'modded' to more of a Spear. It is a bit too large and heavy to pocket so I have a Victorinox holster to keep it in.

Maybe a picture tomorrow or so. Fixin' to hit the sheets!

[WelderBob]

That's a fine looking scout FLymon...can't go wrong with the 73 pattern... ...my favortie
pattern...and some of the best stag around...this is 73 Genuine Stag with end caps and long pulls.

[Vince Roberts]

Holy Cow!

You Guys must have robbed the Safe on those two Stags. They are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your pics.

I don't have any with the LP's yet, but I like the way they look.

[WelderBob]

Hill, We left a little in the safe...these barehead 73's were made in 07 and 08...Gen Stag.
Let's hope the supply of stag and their willingness to use it holds up...

WelderBob, you keep pulling more and more of these genuine stags out. They're great! They are definitely my favorite GEC handle material. I have a few but it looks like I have alot of catching up to do. I keep losing focus and funds along the way. If you have any doubles you would ever decide to part with I sure would like a chance at them. In the meantime here's a pic of my burnt stags.

East, Thats a mighty fine set of knives..."06" 73 scout now thats nice...wish I had one.
I like the jig on that second cut...wish I had one.....someday I will..

[WelderBob]

Most of the 73 Scout's in burnt stag for 2008...a good year for stag..

[easternknives]

Nice six-pack of stag you got there Bob
Here's my two newest favorites.
A couple of #735209's in genuine stag. One with long pulls and the other with the regular thumb pulls.

[WelderBob]

East, Thats a real nice pair you got...well matched stag.. ..I like those long pulls
and swedge's..

[easternknives]

Thanks Bob! Other than stags, I'm also quite fond of the primitive bones. I've only seen one posted on this thread. A real nice Cuban stockman by LC back on the first page. Anybody else like to collect the primitives or have any comments on em?

[Gunstock Jack]

I like 'em!

[Gunstock Jack]

I like stag and red bone. Let's see what's in the secrect stash....

[Desktop]

Nice stash there, Mr. Gunstock Jack!

[easternknives]

Nice stash there, Mr. Gunstock Jack!

You got that right! Looks like there's a few more drawers left for the imagination,huh.
That's a nice pair of '07 #73's ? That top one looks like an unserialized one?

[Just Plain Dave]

We need a jealousy icon in the worst way!!!

[Gunstock Jack]

Awwww! There ain't nothin' in them uther drawers.

[jerryd6818]

Awwww! There ain't nothin' in them uther drawers.

That chest of drawers is slick. Did you purchase that or make it yourself? How many drawers are in it and approximately how many knives does it hold? Dimensions??

[Gunstock Jack]

Just something I knocked together. There are eight drawers about 7 1/2 inches by 17 inches inside dimension, and they hold about 22 knives per drawer, depending on knife size and how close you pack 'em. They are actually 4 separate units that fit inside the shelves in the safe. It makes 'em easy to fondle when I just have a minute or two.

[Gunstock Jack]

Wow! Those are some awesome knives shown on this link, really superb! I especially like the mammoth ivories that Welderbob and Sauconian showed. Beautiful work by Darksev as well. Just a pleasure to look at everyone's favorites! The 73 and 23 patterns are great. Here's another pattern I like.

You're a sick man Jack but I think I like ya.

Thanks for sharing. I really like the idea.
