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.

::dang:: It was hard to pick only ten, they're all good. Your American Elk toothpick is a beauty. I have to get me some of that elk bone. ::nod:: Hopefully your number two choice is on the list?

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

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! … 8)

~ 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! ::tu::

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?

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.

Tough to make a choice, but I do favor the single blade 25 barlows.
