I realize I am in the minority here, but the stockman has never inspired me much for some reason. I’m a trapper guy through and through. However, I do find that my eyes always linger over these Mavericks. Something about the Congress frame and that especially elegant clip really does appeal to me.

Thanks for posting. I would love to see more of these if members have them.
Since you asked, I just sold this one, it’s a Kingwood Maverick. I turned it loose knowing this Snakewood was going to replace it. I just like wooden handles over just about any other handle material and on this pattern it just feels great in hand.

Love this one. Jigged bone and corset shield. If it had a long pull it would be perfect to me. Thanks for posting. Gorgeous knife.

Nice #12 ! I have one with jade green camel bone handles, also very attractive. For some unknown reason this has not been a popular pattern even though it is an easy one to pocket & carry.
Anyone know why the GEC #12 is not a popular pattern ?

I see any GEC made knife as a GEC knife regardless of the name stamped on the tang. I know that many people only see a knife that is marked "GEC" to be a GEC knife. To me the maker is the significant factor and i like the above GEC made Congress with the dog bone shield.

Sweet Lambsfoot from Gunstock Jack came in. It's used and there was a tiny spot where the grind meets the tang mark side. Made a little tool with a copper wire point so I can rub the spots out with softer metal. Worked great. Took out the corrosion, didn't seem to remove any untainted metal, and looks about new again.

I am going to copy your copper tipped tool. Any 'secrets' for securing the copper in place ?
Very attractive knife. Charlie C. is able to tweak a GEC pattern into an even better knife.

It’s been too long since anyone posted on here. I got this one today. Had an email from Barry at Gunstock Jack’s the other day that these had been customized by Esynx Custom Knives. This is a 15 pattern with cocobolo handles and a crest shield Beautiful.

I saw those the other day after receiving an email. They went pretty quick, but very limited quantity. Very nice work by Esynx as expected.Congrats on landing one.

Thanks to Kennedy Knives kindness for trading me a Beer and Sausage for the Appaloosa bone and for letting go of the jigged bone. Love these two, really fine specimens and begging to ride along. Going out with a bang SFO. Thanks thanks thanks KennedyKnives.

Received my first 74 today from Barry at Gunstock Jacks. Wow! I don’t say that often but this plum color jigged bone is really nice looking. I finally get it why people like these single blade knives over multi-bladed knives. This is such a well done knife. My only complaint, and it’s a minor complaint is that the bone jigging seems a little jagged on some edges. When I wiped it off with a microfiber towel it kept grabbing threads out of the towel and they were stuck in some of the jigging.
I’m so impressed with this over the 23 I am thinking about selling all my 23’s
