ivory powerhorn --dead skunk--stag--grape jig--antique orange--blood red--antique amber --snake--bocote--smooth bone--& elk.
i guess this pattern was'nt popular for gec since more appearances have been small. myself thought it was a graceful pattern that felt great in hand with a mix of flat & sabre grinds. please show your own.---HiPower

Very nice display of #12s. Almost makes me want a Powderhorn.

Yeah, the Toothpick/Powderhorn, the French Kate and the Templar. All patterns that sounded good at the time. :lol: :lol: Another one I don't see much activity on is the Ben Hogan.

The prize was actually a $75 coupon from Bryan's store, which I used to purchase this knife. AAPK is a Grrrrrrrrrrrrr8 site ::tu:: ::tu::

I got one a couple weeks ago and I REALLY like it much more than I thought I would. Good size and feels good in the hand.

I like the pattern; particularly the single blade clip but all are pretty sweet! ::super_happy::

Great knives! I looked hard at the #12, but never pulled the trigger. Turns out that I was searching for one that wasn't made.
If GEC wanted to do a small run of #12 northfield jacks w/ elk I'd be all over it.

I have no idea why the Powderhorn and the other toothpicks were not more popular patterns. Out of my seven GEC knives this may be my favorite and is the only one I baby/try to keep looking pretty by waxing a lot and carrying in a little leather pocket sheath. A very pretty knife. I carry all my GECs. The Powderhorn feels great in the hand and has nice blades.
