pitched in a 2007 green pioneer reptile farmer to emphasize the creativity of gec with bone presentations. i really like this calico bone & consider it as interesting as the earlier appaloosa bone. these innovative gec ideas keep my collector interest, what about you guys?--Hipower

I like the Calico bone best when it looks like the one on the 79 whittler on the left. It reminds me a lot of the appaloosa bone which is another favorite.

That is some beautiful bone!

It reminds me of the Apaloosa bone as well … which I always have thought was beautiful.

Very nice pieces, gentlemen!

This is my GEC #79 Montana Workhorse Whittler (not a true whittler in a collectors sense) in Calico bone. I like this bone and think it looks better on a knife with broad rather than narrow covers.

I also have a Montana workhorse with Calico handles, they seem to be popular. I EDC mine. Have to figure out how to post pictures, just starting.
