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.HighPlains wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 7:46 pm Very nice SSK. And very generous of KJ to part with it.
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.

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 ?

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
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.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
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.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Great idea on removing the spots. And that is a very sweet knife.
Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Thanks doglegg, appreciate it. Thanks for the compliments on the home made tool too.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
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.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
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.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 7:53 pm It’s been too long since anyone posted on here. I got this one today.

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.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
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
