GEC specializes in highly collectable and premium quality usable pocket knives. The company's USA manufactured knives have quickly proven to be a big hit with both collectors and users who seek quality American craftsmanship.

Yes these GEC Cattle knives are The Real Deal as far as vintage USA patterns go. And GEC has made them up to the standard of the very best vintage Cattle knives. An iconic pattern made to last generations of use. All i need is some cattle.
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''.

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

I believe..., every knife is a soul, looking for a soulmate.
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...

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.
