Thanks Jerry! I had a heck of a time findin that Kifer SFO, the others were a bit easier but expensive.

These ones all belong in the favourite category. The 48 in particular has some of the finest stag I have. Bear Lake, Bear Lake, Fremont, Fremont, Hawthorne.

Rob, those are all Fantastic ! You have the Best #48 i have seen.
On left is the original Bear Lake and then the new Bear Lake, but what are next 2 before the #48 ?

Fixed that. I would love to add more KSF stag to the pile. Forrest, Bullet and Burnside I covet. Thanks for all the comments, I'm just the caretaker of these currently, huge thanks to GEC, KSF andof course Dave Shirley for starting NORTHWOODS. There is a great interview on the KSF blog with Mr. Shirley about NW. Here is a link:

Wow Robobus, killing me, who wouldn't love to own that line up? Love a good Northwoods and when they are sporting great stag like those, well then it's a thing to behold. Those are A+ grade antlers man. Congrats. Love the Freemonts and the Bear Lake. Sweet.

Here's another one of my favorite GEC knives...#61 in American Elk...that will probably be going on the eBay auction block next Sunday. So, all you GEC fanatics might want to take notice (my auctions always start at $9.99 with no reserve).

Another favorite is this American Elk Wharncliffe #72 (which is currently listed on my eBay site).

Question is: how many GECs will I have to sell in order to pay for my new solar water heater?

Miso2, Welcome to AAPK !
Is the knife you show a #72 ?

[kootenay joe]

Q, i'm going for the elk 61, likely along with 27 other AAPK'ers. It is a great pattern and the elk antler has a mammoth look to it. Deep pockets are gunna be needed. What a smart looking knife.

Hard to pick a favorite, but this one is high on my list. Was one of my 1st GEC purchases.

Very nice. Those Acorn SS ones are getting hard to find.

Stunning Elk on that #61. Never seen one of those.

Hmmm. Good question, you must be very pragmatic to consider selling these beauties for utilities. hawaiienergy.com says with rebates it will take 2k to purchase. I think these will sell in the $3-500 range, possibly more as they just do not come up for sale. My answer is 5 stainless elk GEC.

[QTCut5]

Interestingly, that's exactly the number (5) I have dedicated, i.e., committed to sacrifice, for this project....but I can see I'm already being optimistic in that regard. My #48 just sold for $250...which is a nice start and I ain't complainin'....now, if only I had ten more just like it.

Thank you for the welcome.
The knife is #73 liner lock with Osage Orange covers and my first GEC.
I love it so much that I bought and got a #15 yesterday.
Glad that I found this site!

Welcome aboard Miso2.

[miso2]

Thank you!

Got a #15 for my second.
I am 100% sure that this is not my last GEC.

[doglegg]

I'm afraid that none of us have found our last knife. But you have a couple of knice ones.

[jerryd6818]

I don't know if this is your style or not but for your 3rd, may I suggest a #48 Improved Trapper. Last I looked there were still a few floating around out there. Can you tell it's one of my favorites?

[Ivoryman]

One of the all time favorites, '13 smooth ivory bone 85 Bullet End EZ open out for oil change, clean, wax, buff, snap a few shots, carry around, maybe switch it in to blade of the day. Bought it years ago from Volcano/Hurricane Q who gave me a great deal and great knife and great memory, hope you're riding out the storm safe and sound and thanks again for the sweeeeeeet knife.

[gsmith7158]

That one makes my heart pitter patter I man!

[TravisB]

I wasn't sure if modified knives were okay here but looking back through the thread there are a few

This was an early #23 in smooth bone with spey blade.

Now a re-profiled blade and handle.... Slicked up action ....lanyard tube added and 'lace' Sheoak scales. (All work done by yours truly)
