[WelderBob]

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...

Bob

[Gunstock Jack]

That's a beauty, Big Monk. I love GEC's stag.

TJ, the jacks aren't stiff enough to break your thumbnail.

[big monk]

Well guys_________yall wuzz' right --I've got the"'GEC VIRUS""---------sold a few of my "'High END"" fishing reels,so I could go shopping again,for some Great Eastern stuff sure hope them bass,don't know,I'm fishing with ""hand-me-down reels""---they'd go to thinking they could get loose from the ""Old GUY"""_____________anyway,I found a few more,don't know if they wuzz,""bargains""",but I,shopped till,I ,found the lowest price________________which wasn't so low in some cases

PS______and yes,I went against my promise to myself,""not to look back""------had to go back to some 2008 stock to get a couple of those---you know the ones

In the photo of the two Long-Pulls,I bought the one on the right---the other had been sold--"""THANK GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!""

[tjmurphy]

Dem's pretty nice Monk. GEC's got some good-lookin' stuff.

[big monk]

Hey TJ -----I sorta,rolled it around about buying the acylic,scales or wood scales on another one,finally went with the acylic,but what is your opinion,or you other guys too !!! on """ wood vs acrylic """" or corelon,or other materials,for scales???? I do love the stag--and older bone -----that other wood was ''WENGE WOOD""______ almost black,from West Africa *******

[tjmurphy]

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.

[Gunstock Jack]

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!

[big monk]

Thanks Guys !!!!!! It's like Bob said a few days ago "Quote"----it will be beans and cornbread,for a few months now ---not even a piece of "FATBACK" after todays shopping spree

[boggs]

Big Monk...

I held off posting when I saw your promise to yourself about not looking back...didn't want to tempt you...but now that you have your lost in GEC bliss.......Harness Jacks,Big Jacks,Stockman,Moose,Scouts and Pioneers all there for the plucking ..just like berries from the vine...and all in stag..........

The black/gold acrylic would also be my favorite...but oh yes check out all those great acrylic Stockman from '07' Cat's Craddle, Smokey Pearl................

[big monk]

I know Jim----------been looking at em' for a week,trying to make up my old feeble mine,on which ones to get first,and yall seem to think I did good -----------now,if I can only make Mrs.Monk,understand,this,is a "'DISS_EZZ"" only treatable,by purchasing a new GEC Knife,ever-so often

[johnny twoshoes]

Here's a new GEC to look at, it's a gift from my Brother.

[carvin don]

Real nice lookin' Gambler you got there, Johnny.

[big monk]

The new knives arrived today---and they are unbelievable !!!!!!!! Pictures,don't do em' justice,___do they Johnnie (AKA birthday boy )????? GEC is putting out a fine product,and it's """"MADE IN THE U.S.A. """""""""""""

[Gunstock Jack]

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.

[big monk]

Yep______I saw,where #7, was sold, today--------he no longer has any left---didn't take long for him to sell,the three he had-----hey Jack, they are putting the COA certificate,on the back of the tubes,now?? didn't catch it at first,and e-mailed Greg,to tell him,they left it out,________ before I discovered it----don't know if it's for the genuine stag only or not ?????

[Gunstock Jack]

Well, I was afraid he'd sell out quick, I'm sure glad I ordered one! Now if I can just sneak it into the safe without being discovered by the little woman....

[WelderBob]

Some mighty fine looking knives Monk... ...how's the bean and cornbread diet going.. ..Glad to see you and Jack
got one of the lockback's, I think GEC did a super job on these puppy's...

Bob

[johnny twoshoes]

Big M, those are beautiful, and the pics will never do them justice, it takes a physical encounter to see their real beauty and craftsmanship.

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, so it's non stop from here.

[big monk]

Bob________________I love beans and beans and beans and beans and some mo' beans
Looks like we know where #7,#9,and #10 , found their new home what a great sharin' site !!!!!!

Thanks Johnnie---------I would say that you have had one ""GRAND BIRTHDAY"" today

[bloomingeek]

Absolutely beautiful!! Yet another satisfied GEC collector.

[BuckeyeSchatt]

Great looking knives johnnie, big monk, and WelderBob. I really like all that stag being put to good use ,GEC has got their sh$t together. I might have to change my name to BuckeyeUN-X-LD .

[Gunstock Jack]

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!

[Froggyedge]

Nice!
