Man Greg S. you live right next to "Blade". Gives you the opportunity of picking up the best knives, every year !
The mammoth #12 is a 2009 knife. It really is disappointing that there was no mammoth in the 2019 #12's. It makes the older mammoth GEC's a special score.

I agree Roland. I'm only 15 minutes from the Blade Show. I've gotten lucky two years in a row finding stellar mammoth pieces.kootenay joe wrote:Man Greg S. you live right next to "Blade". Gives you the opportunity of picking up the best knives, every year !

Wow gsmith, great blade show haul. Beauties.
My one and only toothpick showed up today. The bones did it to me. Nice size and blade for it.

Last hunt for #53 or #54 ebony or other wood was a success. Added a 530411 Castro, 541214 Moose, 541217 Desert Ironwood and a 541214 Big Jack. All mint with tube-Yeeehaw.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Those 54's are fine knives, very much like a big old 1920's USA equal end jack, especially those with ebony or cocobolo. They are real work knives.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Yep, they are capable and satisfactory for a variety of tasks. All I've gotten exhibit good walk and talk and have the relatively stout pull I like in a traditional slip joint folder for camp craft, to dress game or fire making.

That's a great knife for that. Those are nice for sure.Open Range-19 wrote:

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Thanks FS.
Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
Recent acquisition from one of our old faithful. Million thanks B. Monk. Now it's an heirloom/crown jewel hand me down to the kids. Cannot tell from pics how deep the grain and stains in the tusk, like a desert scene, but solid tight in every way, the knife and the ivory. So much different color in the tusk. Such a smooth, silky, supple, glossy orgasm of touch for the finger tips and the palms. Can't even tell ya. Can't capture the depth in pics either.

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
It looks pretty good in the pictures too. Is it a #73, no liner lock ? and 2007 ?
I also got one from the Monk, 735108, with tan colored mammoth and liner lock. I just dropped it walking from the safe to computer desk. It hit the hard wood floor end on. But it has caps, so no damage done. Yeah caps !

Re: Mail Call, Post Your New GECs.
I think the #73 is a great pattern and 3 3/4" to me is perfect size for this pattern. The #23 is also a very fine knife, but the 4 1/2" size is quite large.
Either would work equally well for say field dressing a deer, so the extra length & weight of the #23 does not give any advantage over the smaller #73.
