Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Ajd, I'm surprised you didn't pick up some colorful ones. That looks like a Birthday week to remember. Almost a knife rainbow.
Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
So I've got a friend, you know the type, lives for the trade. Well he knows I likes me some stockman knives and showed up at work this morning and hollers 'catch'. We quickly came to very reasonable terms and now it's mine.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
39 made according to GEC. I consider myself very lucky. I dont have an example of all of GEC various stockman but a Wrangler was very high on the want list. The top spot on the want list and what I'd probably call my grail knife would be an 81 Abilene Yellow Rose.doglegg wrote:I don't believe a lot of the 57 wranglers were made were they? Great knife.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Slinger, Ajd, Sharpshiny, Rotten, beautiful pieces all of you, and over this page. Big Monk that's gotta be the prettiest stag in the herd. Wow.
Me I've been Camel hunting on and off for years now. Hard to fight it. I'm a sucker for the blues.

Beautiful gsmith, I watched two sell, even bid, but was promptly passed by and left in the dust. Congrats, that's a beautiful cover.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Greg, I saw those cross on Ebay and thought about buying, but wasn’t sure how the extra polishing would be viewed by others. It’s a tough decision to alter a knife like that. I like the looks of it. How do you like it?gsmith7158 wrote:Here's my new 85 polished stag.

I'm probably misunderstanding in some way, but I thought GEC released these knives in this condition?Sharpnshinyknives wrote:It’s a tough decision to alter a knife like that.Markgsmith7158 wrote:

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Mark I'm fairly certain that GEC made them like that as a SFO for Collector knives. Polished stag and satin finish blades.Sharpnshinyknives wrote:Greg, I saw those cross on Ebay and thought about buying, but wasn’t sure how the extra polishing would be viewed by others.

Maybe I am mistaken. There was a seller last week that had in his description that he didn’t like the unpolished stag that GEC put out so he polishe it down. That was in his description that HE had modified it. I thought Greg’s knife was that one. If you have the original listing you can see what he said he did to the knife and why.
I didn’t realize that GEC had any they had plolished. Glad to know.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Very nice Greg. Here is the 85 that sold the other day on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/GEC-85-Northfi ... 7675.l2557
The seller says that he was unable to attain one of the polished stag and he polished this one. Surprisingly it went for 305 dollars. I guess a do it yourself polished stag is still worth a small fortune.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Mark that knife was made in 2016 and has two blades. Maybe he couldn't get one of the new ones and decided to make his own.Sharpnshinyknives wrote:Very nice Greg. Here is the 85 that sold the other day on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/GEC-85-Northfi ... 7675.l2557
