Anybody else like GEC Cigars.....

Post by sextonknifeworks »

By far my favorite frame.

I would love to have one of these in elk but I am picky. Some of the elk looks awesome and some just looks blah.

I have a couple of the #53 frames and I really enjoy them, the frame is really nice to hold onto. I have a #54 Moose on the way, another equal end frame for the pocket. ::tu::

Here's one of my workin' knives that made me say "Oh Crap!!!". ::doh:: I haven't broken a blade tip in years, but I managed to snap the tip off in a hard Douglas Fir 2x4 while doin' a little wood surgery the other day. ::facepalm::

Dang it all! I work this knife hard and especially the wharncliffe blade. Nothing else to do but take him to the grinder. :shock: Shorter and a little stronger for the ordeal:

Barry...

If you hadn't shown the before/after pic's I would have never known...great re-profile and this also happens to be one of my favorite carries.

Thanks guys! The Furtaker Trapper is one of my fav carry patterns; great size and blade config for a carry knife! I never used a Wharncliffe blade until GEC started putting them out, but it is a super useful blade! I am a carpenter by trade and that straight blade comes in handy for everything from sharpening carpenter pencils to trimming up a saw cut. It is hands down my favorite work knife these days.

Great, useful patterns. One thing I really like about the Cuban Stockman is that the sheepsfoot doesn't ride high even though the nail nick is on the mark side.

I like that as well. I thought I might like a 53 cattle rancher and got to see one this weekend at a knife show in GA. The sheepsfoot rides much higher in it and it positively had the stiffest springs I've ever seen in a GEC. :shock:
