Favorite GEC Pattern?
What's your favorite Great Eastern Cutlery pattern? Mine is the dogleg jack and barlow right now.
I could only enter ten choices, if your favorite isn't here please post it on the thread.

My favorite pattern from them, thus far, is the Cattle Rancher. With the Cuban Stockman coming in at second.

Re: Favorite GEC Pattern?
Mike, great idea, but if I could pick just one favorite, I wouldn't have to keep buyin these dang things!
I voted for the Courthouse Whittler, as that's the pattern I'm "courtin" right now! …
~ Edge
p.s. The 54 Whittler is one of my all-time favorites, just for the record …

That's a beautiful whittler Edge. I think I may have found a dogleg jack in primitive bone like yours. You have good taste my man!

Re: Favorite GEC Pattern?
What variation of the #48 is that Gino? I thought I had you covered with "#48 Dogleg Trapper, Western Trapper or Jack" I must have left one out?

Re: Favorite GEC Pattern?
With 8 in hand an a 9th on the way, I voted for #48. I can't wait for these to come out in stainless. I'll be sure to buy at least one in each available.
I checked, my #25s and #53s are tied for 2nd with 7 each. Followed by 4 #73s, 4 #61s, 4 #12s and soon to be 4 #33s.
