Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
That's one sweet knife...
...GEC's stag is hard to beat. It's nice that they leave the shield off on the genuine stags...to me
it look's better...JMHO...That's one I don't have Big Monk...look's like beans and cornbread for another week or two...

That's a beauty, Big Monk. I love GEC's stag.
TJ, the jacks aren't stiff enough to break your thumbnail.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
I like the natural materials better than the man-made, but there are some awsome looking acrylics out there, and you can make them to look like what ever you want - I like the tortoise shell look, gives it that old-timey flavor.

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Oh-oh, Big Monk. You got the fever! Only thing that helps is to buy another one.
You have extreemely gud taste my fren'. Nice choices. I usually try to stick with natural handle materials, still have nightmares about celluloid gas off. (No problem with the acrylics.) I really like the look of many of their acrylics and you picked my favorite!

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Monk, those are sweet! In fact, I like the genuine stag LB so much (and, since I didn't have one) that after seeing your previous post, I had to order one! I'm getting No. 7.
I'll post a pict when I get it.

Don, I thought about taking the plunge on one of these knives for a long time, but after your post I knew I'd be picking one up soon.
My brother knew I liked them and took the plunge for me,

Re: Show off your favorite GECs!
Well guys, it came today. No. 07 is another beauty made by our favorite knife company! I like it a lot; it opens smoothly and locks up tight. Very nicely matched stag scales; GEC is definitely putting out the best Sambar stag material of all the US companies and possibly the world!
