That's some drop dead beautiful bone Barry! You have to feel good carrying a knife like that around.

You're right, Mike. I really enjoy carrying and using GEC's products. Like Gino sez; life's too short to carry a cheap (or ugly) knife! :mrgreen:

I really lucked up on that particular knife, as it was advertised as a store model or a second, but when I got it in hand I realized that it is a regular production knife with no "S" or other marks on the tang, so I got a great knife at a seriously low price! At first I thought it was pretty ugly, but it has grown on me. Anyway, the previous owner had opened and closed it many times and you could see the wear on the tang, although slight, so I may as well use her since she is not mint for that reason only. ::super_happy::

That's what I like about the GEC primitive bone, it varies so much. The color is deep and rich on that one. I've picked out a few of mine to carry too, why not carry a great knife?

The white one has been my main carry since late February.
The red one is a second due to the coloring of the bone but perfect otherwise and a nice knife at a good price.

I plan on adding a #72 with Elk scales to the rotation too.

Got a buddy,furniture builder that carries a 23 PB. The bone has darkened some from the dye stains he uses everyday,that and the "pocket worn" smoothness that comes from use and taking it in and out of leather slip case......it looks sweet. I'll see if I can swipe it for a day and get a couple pics,its a stunner ::drool::

This baby is gettin some pocket time these days … snagged it during one of Greg's recent "look what I found" stag runs … really unique second-cut stag in 440 … (sorry for the "on the fly" pics - it's all I seem to have time for these days … ) … the scales have a sort of 'open grain' rough feel to 'em .. I like it, but I did slap a couple coats of Ren-Wax on 'em ...

Barry, I got this knife out, I put a fresh edge on it, then I put it in my pocket and got on AAPK to look at the pics of yours. I love how yours has a nice used look, a trusted friend look, thats what I'm trying to accomplish here. ::nod:: I like a nice patina so I'm excited to get a real one going. I'll be cuttin' everything with this knife for a while, it feels like a good worker. ::nod:: When I get that good ol' patina, I'll get some new pics up. :wink:

Well these two #72s have taken over my pockets, I retired the #53 for a while, and I did get a little patina going, but not exactly what I'm looking for. ::huff::

The #53 will get more time, later this year.... maybe. :roll:

Ok ,I finally did it. I put a GEC in my pocket. ::ds:: These knives have the style of a hundred year old knife and the feel of a custom. This knife is so nice I felt a little guilty ,but its not just a purdy object , and I wanted to cut something with it ! ::groove:: ... Now, if I just had more stuff that needs cuttin. ::super_happy:: Jason
