Here is the Cattle Rancher, 531310 compared with an earlier GEC 3 blade on the same knife, 538308. This 2008 knife cannot be called a "Cattle" knife with this slender clip blade. Cattle knife usually has a spear point master, but a stout clip blade is also within the definition.

The cuban is a good pattern but I much prefer the cattle rancher with its more attractive full width blades. I have a cuban in stainless that I carry but my cattle rancher is just for the collection. I wouldn't mind finding a cattle rancher to carry (as if I don't already have too many carry knives). Perhaps someday.

A vintage american made cattle knife of similar size to the 53 is a tough find. Most of the old ones you find are
3 5/8'' or 3 3/8''.

I agree with you. There's just something about that 61 that gets my juices flowing.

Just got these two. 93 and Maher & Grosh 29.
Both patterns are very handy and the jigged bone are excellent examples.

I have several GEC knives that I have collected in recent years, but I never showed them on this forum. And I don’t know in which topic to publish this... ::shrug::

Post them in this forum. They are still "new" because you have not posted them before.
I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your GEC knives.
