All About Pocket Knives

While my pockets aren't as deep as those of some of you guys, I am learning to love GEC, and I'm grateful to all of you who are helping to keep them in business. I'm thinking that maybe this thread will never end.

I really don't see this thread ending but we may start another one, if thisun' gets full ___ just had to have one of the #42 Trader's __ Copperhead Jig Bone !!! ____seems like they have, a new""Bone Jigger"" at GEC, ????? and he sho'nuff', knows how to make some pretty bone scales !!!!

as always another beauty. way to go Monk !

My first "real" GEC (the others are made by GEC for other cutlery firms). Also bought the Jack-knife off e-bay on my smart phone last night while on vacation (paid via PayPal using the smart phone too). Downloaded the sellers picture and just posted it here via my smartphone - lots of first for me - kinda crowing over it all!

Man OH thats nice I have to get me some GEC

Thanks Dogg, been wanting a GEC too, kept my eye on the bay until I could find a deal on a stag jack knife. When I get my hands on it i'll post some more photos.

Beautiful knives fellas

Congrats Old Hunter on your first "real" GEC,its a beauty.

Splendid choice Colonel. That's a real beauty.

Thanks guys, according to the USPS tracker website it will deliver tomorrow. I have a baseball board meeting tomorrow night - but if I get home with enough time to spare I will get a few pictures posted!

Ps Jerry, good to see you back, hope you had a good trip.

Got home in time - the package was in the mailbox - I am thrilled - it is nicer than the seller's e-bay pictures. Very deep stag, slanted/pinched bolsters, very nice jack knife - my first GEC and I am not disappointed - I can see what all the excitement is about.

CONGRATS !!!!!!!!_________she is a beauty

Be Super Careful Old Hunter,

Awesome knife for sure But!!!!

I bought one just to see what all the hype was about. If you don't trust me, ask my Neighbor Big Monk, I'm really small potatoes. Bonehead

.very nice Old Hunter

Old Hunter,

Congratulations! Welcome to the club ...

You have good taste, that #66 jack is one of the most overlooked, and IMO, one of the nicest of the smaller GECs. As you said, slanted bolsters (slanted in same direction, which I really like), and just a nice touch of serpentine to the frame. Nice in the pocket, nicer in the hand.

Beautiful knife - great choice.

Oh yeah ... it's all downhill from here. Let me ask you somethin' (I'm bettin I already know the answer) ...

Have you started scopin' out your NEXT GEC yet?

p.s. See Big Monk for the meeting times and by-laws ...

Bonehead........Yikes you're well on your way to the 100 Club

and

Old Hunter once the stag bites hold on to your wallet

Laughing here - you guys have me nailed! For future purchases of GEC's I am thinking stag handled bullet-end jack 852211 and RR Conductor (maybe buffalo horn - but no bail wire).

I like the way you think Colonel.

Both of those are sweet!

The conductor is one I left alone for a while and now I really like it a lot. I'm with you on the "no bail" version.

You have good taste, Sir …

This one came in the mail today, it' s my 4th of many to come I hope.

Wes, very nice choice

Wes, I like your EO - is it a 3"? Nicely balanced in appearance.

Colonel -- I'm not Wes but yes, it is a 3". All the #25s are 3".

Yep, might be too small for some folks but I like a smaller. knife in my pocket

I got this BEAUTY in today!! Elk stag #72 with wharnie! Thanks Monk!!! (I used Monks pic too, it's better than mine).

My first GEC fixie. Not the last for sure.
