All About Pocket Knives

Here is the muscle bone I ordered from Collectors Knives, I'm thinking I like this better than the iron wood.

Collector Knives must have gotten some extra allocations as their reservations have been closed for months.

I was thinking that the ones that I am seeing for sale at CK are much cheaper than the others, but I now see that they have cosmetic issues.

Yes I see now, they are calling them EDC's $20 cheaper on the bone.

Well the horn sounding by all of the AAPK watch dogs worked to perfection today and I would like to thank and commend all who participated. If you wanted one and didn't get one today, shame on you.

Checking the dealers at 6:15 PM it appears that supplies have been exhausted.

I think I agree John . That muscle bone has a nice rustic look to it.

John that Muscle Bone is sweet! I was fortunate to get one. I cant wait until it gets here!.

Mine were here when i made it home last night.

WOW! Couple of real nice lookers!

Greg, you could not have received 2 better looking Whalers. Actually every #46 posted so far is attractive ++. GEC workers obviously put a lot of effort into these.
Since we seem to be 'voting' on preference, i think the Desert Ironwood handles make this knife look 'stately', a Royal carry.
The Muscle Bone handles make for a more rugged look, at home with a sailor or longshoreman.
Either would make me happy, but if i could only have one, i'm a Desert Ironwood type of guy. "Morning Governor, i sure like your fancy knife". "Why thank you sailor. You have a good looking knife yourself, rugged, like you."

After suffering a camera breakdown, I am finally back up and running. Here is a shot of my 2 whalers, I'm still trying to decide which I like better.

Rookie, that's a great pair! From what I've seen so far there is a good deal of variation in the color on the Muscle Bone knife handles too. Those were two pretty good picks by GEC.

Thanks Gsmith. I don't have many GEC knives, but these 2 are quite impressive. And they're fun to take pictures of!

Well those are two to be proud of. I was going to say they sure are shiny looking. Don't rub em to death now.

Unfortunately I appear to be addicted to the whalers now. I find myself searching ebay for older models, and then cringing at the asking price.

Rookie:

TSA Knives listed 4 more muscle bone whalers today.
$159.00 each and each with a disclaimer. But, apparently not edcs.
Thanks for the heads-up on the newly-released T.V. ivory.

I'm really not sure why I did this, perhaps it was just the fact that I happened to be there when they were available and the electric atmosphere of a frenzied Knife release but I bought two more of these Whoppers last week.

Can't go wrong, they're awesome knives!

Greg those are 2 awsome examples. Don’t feel bad I did the same thing with the ironwood . I’m still trying to decide if want to sell one or not. I did get lucky enough to get a muscle bone and an iron wood. It was a lot of fun trying to hunt them down!

Rookie, Greg, great Whalers!

Greg, I did the same thing and ordered a second muscle bone, hard to resist and who knows when GEC will run them again.

Awsome whalers John!

Robbobus, aka, Rob, picked up a Muscle bone Whaler for me. What a fine knife it is. Thank you Rob. The bone surface has a raised area like a sinewy muscle on a skinny older man. Doesn't sound attractive but it is.
Here is Muscle Man and Ironwood Dessert ! Hard to say which i like the best. The ironwood with shield is very nice as well.

Great looking pair you have there Joe!
