All About Pocket Knives

Monk,

Nice trio. I'd give my left "ahem" for one of those white pearl LG whittlers. Be a perfect match to my 1/2 congress. Rare birds

Blademan____ we might can make it happin' for less than a ""left ahem"" ????____sent ya' a message, Monk

I picked up a couple of these in the northfield. Very unique looking little knife, did I say little, tiny is more like it. #09 esquire in cocobolo & snakewood.

That is a quality looking little knife Ryan, they certainly look nice with their Northfield trim. Very pretty wood on that.

This #61 showed up today, here is a quick pic. Handles are American Elk, serial #02.

She's definitely a beaut, congrats Trevor! good looking knife, no doubt about it.

This SS GEC #62 Showed up today. Has some real nice American Elk on it......

IM

Another beauty Trevor!

Very nice Trevor, good looking elk...

Thanks guys.....I sure like it!

Got this Natural Stag Viper today*** she is a real looker,but the backspring is ""nail breaker"" ___ I had read somewhere that the springs were about 7 outa' 10____ I was hoping mine was also ___bad thing is,I have an, African Blackwood coming too !!!!! __guess I'm gettin' to old for these ""GEC's""

That's an awful nice looking knife Monk, my Viper in OD Linen Micarta has an EDC friendly pull to it. It's been a great user so far and the 3 3/4" size is just right. I've got a couple Stag #47 Vipers on the way and will report what the pull is on them. I have said it before and will again......I WISH GEC WOULD STOP SWEDGING THESE PULLS TO DEATH. This Northfield version of the knife may have benefitted from a Long Pull with a swedge in front of the pull. GEC has done some #23's with these crescent nail nicks and then swedged across them making them too shallow imo. Still beautiful knives and I probably won't be EDC'ing a Stag version, it would be nice if they would consider function along with form.

that's all true,Trevor***____ I was going to put her on display,anyways, but still,you want a pull easy enough, you could put her in the pocket ______ That was the main reason,I didn't buy one of the #78 Jacks ____ I was told the ""pull was nail breaker""

Nice ones Monk and Trevor was gunna get one of them vipers but went with the elk 42

Good choice Robert......can not go wrong with Elk!!

IM

Man! I'm lovin' the smooth yellow bone, myself! Thet is one purty knife !!!


Anyway, Bill din' make near 'nuf elk 42's... Wassup Bill??? 'Nother run soon???

Never enough 42's IMO. Even with all the talk concerning blade play you don't see many on the secondary market and the new runs disappear quickly. Eagerly awaiting the blood red Northfield and micarta GEC. Going to be sweet!

Here are the GEC #47 Vipers in Stag that found their way North. This pattern at 3 3/4" is FANTASTIC......WELL DONE GEC!!

IM

Nice stag family IM. BH

Wow Trevor that's a lot of stag. looks good...

Very nice trevor,I really need to get one of them vipers looks like the perfect edc,wish they put bigger lanyard tubes in the 72 0r 73s

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm no expert on slip joints, but it's not unmanageable, strong with a solid snap. As others put it, it walks and talks and I think I know what they mean now.

#47 viper in African blackwood serial #03

Great new #47s guys! Cool thing is they look like customs in this pattern, IMO.
