Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
It could be just because I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase but I'm really hooked on the new #35 Churchills and the AAPK club knife is my current favorite among them.
I have a Yellow Rose and a Hummingbird Acrylic which I also like a lot but I'm over the moon with the color and jigging of the Rust Red.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
While the 15 TC Barlow is still far and away my favorite and most desired GEC, I have rapidly become a fan of the watchpocket jacks/Barlow in the 25 line. Our fellow AAPK knife knut 313 Mike went above and beyond in making a 25 Barlow available to me and it is already one of my favorite GECs. Thanks again, Mike!Ivoryman wrote:15 Boys knife, 25 Barlow
Same. It's been with me every day except today since getting it. I've also got the TC ebony and the NF smooth yellow rose bone, plus I keep seeing stag versions online and available and I don't know if I can resist the temptation too long.Railsplitter wrote:It could be just because I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase but I'm really hooked on the new #35 Churchills and the AAPK club knife is my current favorite among them.

Everything's better with a Barlow
Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Guess the squeaky AAPK member gets the sweet knife. See if he wants to get rid of another of those, I'm getting in line. Probably not with my luck.Tsar Bomba wrote:While the 15 TC Barlow is still far and away my favorite and most desired GEC, I have rapidly become a fan of the watchpocket jacks/Barlow in the 25 line.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
I was afraid this #18 Coyote would be too small, but in fact, it's the perfect size for a small knife. And it's just so dang cute, I can hardly stop looking at it and fondling it.

As we would have said down home, "cuter 'n a bug's ear". That's the same opinion I have of them. Pretty dang small but there's just something about them............QTCut5 wrote:I was afraid this #18 Coyote would be too small, but in fact, it's the perfect size for a small knife.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
I highly recommend the Stag Churchill. Rick those are all fine knives but i think a good Stag # 35 would be 'Leader of the Pack'. I hope there are some good Stag ones still to be had.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Has anyone gotten a Churchill in the maroon linen micarta??
I've not seen one posted in the annals of this forum by anyone, though it
is possible I completely missed it. .
Also, the only pictures I have seen of that particular version has been GEC's own stock photograph.
That's here on the AAPK stores, the usual GEC distributors, and fleabay . . . .
How do they look in hand?
I have never had linen mic , so I have questions regarding durability for actual edc use.
Would anyone be willing to accept a USPS M/O as payment!

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Micarta is tough stuff. Bark River makes a great many knives with Micarta handles as do custom knife makers of fixed blades & folders. I think Micarta is one of the most durable of all knife handle materials.
