I think no brand can top GEC for the sheer beauty of their handles. The photos above all confirm that.

They make some great ones, no doubt about it. I think they should take some notes from Queen on their bone-jigging, but their fit and finish is tops in my book.

The 72 deffinitly looks like one tough ash knife! I hope to be able to get one sometime soon. Im looking for one that can handle anything you through it at, and that black micarta handled version would be perfect. Does anyone know if those are available anymore?

Oh, my. Elk and a Wharncliffe. Marvelous. They couldn't have made very many of those.

I guess that the other materials just don't appeal to me as much. Not to say that I don't respect a nice piece of stag or bone. :mrgreen: ::tu::
