GEC “Beaver Tails”

Post by BeaverTail_Hunter »

I am new to this forum and have already had a chance to “meet” a few of you and even buy a few knives from some of you. I have always enjoyed knives and my favorite knife manufacturer has been Chris Reeve Knives.

Recently, I have re-entered the slip joint world and I enjoy collecting GEC knives that feature the beaver shield.

Since I am always taking pictures of them and hunting them down for my collection, I thought I would start a thread here too.

The first pic is the one that started the beaver tail addiction for me, the Pioneer Trapper.
