Re: Is your EDC a GEC?
Not gonna get both, as I already have a houndstooth in bocote...
so I guess the burnside is out for me, too similar. I'm thinking it's gonna be the Fremont, I just gotta wait a bit to pick one up.

Ditto what Mike said Gino! I can see why you would buy that baby.

Love all Jacks

Re: Is your EDC a GEC?
I have this #46 for use as an EDC. Still haven't got a sheath made up for it but have been using it to open packages and
do some work in the kitchen. It's no chef's knife but holds a killer edge and works for food prep better than I expected
it to. Even with the wide and short blade it slices and dices quite well.....removing some of the silver skin from the venison
would have been easier with a slimmer, pointed blade.....but like my other GEC's in 1095, it takes a razor edge and that makes
any task much easier. So far, so good with this pattern......can't wait to get a few more miles on her.

Re: Is your EDC a GEC?
Great pics Trevor, thanks for sharing! I can certainly appreciate seeing a knife used in the kitchen, most all of mine end up doing some kitchen duty eventually!
Hey by the way, don't I recall you having replaced the shield on that 46 at some point?
Great looking knife!

Re: Is your EDC a GEC?
Thanks guys......and Yes Mike, I had the shield replaced.....it had GEC's Bull's Head shield on it originally. I wanted the look of an old Platt's E-Toe and Kaleb did a great job on it for me.

Re: Is your EDC a GEC?
Trevor,
The knife looks good but the 3 pictures look like you were about to indulge in some venison stew! That's the 3 main ingredients, onions, taters, and Bambi
! Just showed the pictures to Miss Joy and she approved and she commented, "Is that the only knife he's got?"
Women!! Them GEC's are starting to grow on me just a little bit.

Re: Is your EDC a GEC?
It was too hard not to carry & use this one. Less than a week old and it's seen some stuff.

Re: Is your EDC a GEC?
Glad to see you boy's using those GEC's....
Rex I could have used that Lumberjack this week when I helped a friend clean up a wild hog he shot, but the 42 Trader did OK.
It surprised me the way blood seemed to blue the blade...

Don't really consider myself a collector, I just pick up the ones I like and use most of them.
These are a some of my favorites.

Re: Is your EDC a GEC?
I ordered a second #42 in Olive Drab Linen Micarta for the EDC pile. It arrived today and the lockup is tight. GEC Stainless holds it's edge very well and these #42's are a great size at 4 1/4" closed.
