The Stanley came from member here ,excellent condition, fair price, fast shipping. It’ll go with my other 72 variations
Pure oil knife is for Father in law,he’s got a bunch of Pure oil stuff,including a running petroleum pump . Would like to find one in better shape,but he’ll be happy with this.
And The Rusty 4 line Camillus,took a little gamble on that off the bay . Took it down to shop and it cleaned up okay ! This Model was sent overseas to our Servicemen from Red Cross ,if memory is correct in that regard.
Hey Smitty, that little light is awesome for the few dollars they cost. Never thought about the different light techniques,going to check that out .
Till next time, take care ,stay safe

I finally had some success getting one of these GEC 38 English Whittlers with burnt orange jigged bone handles. I don’t know why, but I seem to have more success scoring from DLT than any other GEC dealer. These whittlers are among the best knives from GEC that I have seen. It is a split back spring whittler in case anyone is wondering.

The hafting is a bit rough at the transitions to bolsters. Some of the pins are too high. This was not a labor of love.

So, I guess this could be considered a "transition" knife although it is essentially a Queen #51 frame--so, more Queen than GEC.

The (unconfirmed) theory is that "Cozy Glen" is the name of the street in Oak Hill, OH, where KD lived at the time (maybe he still does for all I know...although seems unlikely since GEC is headquartered in PA...maybe he commutes ).
