All About Pocket Knives

My new Mammoth Ivory Weaver Jack.

Oh yeah! Nice knife Jethro. You should post it on the mammoth ivory thread too.

Nice stag example:

I wasn't sure I liked this one when I got it, especially after seeing some of youse guys beautiful elk, but it's beginning to grow on me... I notice there are no fissures in these scales at all. They're almost too plain, but the knife feels really good in hand with those nice smooth, thick slabs, so... I guess it's a keeper. I guess it is kinda purty!

A great bunch of knives, Edge___all the ,Elks,are lookin' good for all


Both knives,lookin' very nice, to me,Barry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and Jethro_______the Ivory,is "'AWESOME"" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love that mammoth weaver, Jethro. It's a shame GEC hasn't made a larger pattern in mammoth ivory, like a 73. Hmmmm....

Jethro, that Mammoth is sweet!

Barry, I really like that Elk! Sometimes its hard to see past the "box", but if you take expectations out of the equation, that is one fine knife … I have a #56 jack that is Burnt Stag, but looks like smooth brown bone … I was not at all sure I liked it at first, but now it's one of my favorite and most unique knives, and rides in my pocket often …

I think you got a keeper there, GJ.

You make some good points Edge. This knife is sorta similar, in a way.At first glance I didn't like it, but I decided on second thought to pick it up. It's very unusual smooth stag and the only thing like it in my collection.

Yep, that is exactly what that 56 I was talkin about looks like - kinda like a cross between stag and primitive bone … that's a real beauty, Barry.

Nice one Jethro

Amazing group shot Monk!!

Edge,your Elks look great, the Kauri is sweet bro.

Barry I agree with Edge and Mike,sometimes the 'non typical" makes it even more appealing and unique,such as that smooth butter stag you got

Thanks, Earl.

My Burnt Stag lockback (for EDC) showed up ….
… I'm pretty happy with it - slabs are real even, and thin enough for back pocket.

Another good score, Edge !!!!!!!!!!! By now,___You should be havin' a tough time choosing,an EDC,each morning

Got the #72 Spear,in the mail today!!___this pattern,just takes a little gettin' use too but I'm comin' around

Nice stag on those 72's boys! Man, that spear blade is a hog! Looks like it'd be great for eatin' boiled peanuts, but hard to pick yer teeth with!

Barry, thats #73 is beautiful.
That smooth stag looks great for EDC, but theres just something really unique there, I like it.

Great #72s, another perfect pattern.

Thanks Johnny T. ! Yeah, it's totally different from any of my other GEC stags. Haven't brought myself to carry it yet; too many other edc choices! I love 'em all!!!!

Pretty impressive EDC Edge, NICE !! Love the spears on these #72's, but also had to try
one of each blade style. Here is my clip in Elk and my wharnie in Red Bone (my spear is
Burnt Stag and already posted here). The Dogleg Jack shown here is going to be my new EDC.
It has pretty fat stag and seems about the right size. The spear with LP and pen is currently
my favorite combo to carry.

Nice showing. I really like the old photos. That 56 stag sure is a fat rascal. The 56 is one of my favorite frame shapes from GEC. I'm hoping they'll see fit do an EZ open single blade clip or spear down the road.

3 latest gecs---bocote in spear locker,sunfish in buffalo horn & clip locker in red wine bone.---HiPower

Nice line up HP; try taking photos outside in indirect sunlight, I think you'll like the results. Don't forget to use your macro setting for up close shots.

Hey fellas; I had to scramble a little, but I finally got me a nice barky elk stag! Her mate is due to show up in a couple of days!

Beautiful, Barry!

Be sure and post her mate ...

Nice Barry! We should have started a thread just for the elk 72s. They are really fine.

biglmbass - This is my first #56, but it sure is nice. The old photos are from this book
on logging...............

Real nice Barry..............glad you scored man

Got these today____an assorted mixture,of the GEC Blend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The "'New Release"" Scouts,with lanyard Hole,are awesome in hand___With blade swedge,no etch blades,satin finish,and the pretty wood & bone scales !!!!!____they are ""Pocket Ready"" ___the Cocobolo Wood ( my first) is awesome !!!!!!!!!!! and The green Bone,is ""dyed"" all the way to the bolster !!!!!!! Sorry to say,that the Wharncliffe Blade,on the Lockback,does ride a little too ""HIGH"", in the handle,___like the 2010 models did, ( they fixed this on the Elk & Stags,that just came out ???) _____and the Western Trapper, is always a favorite of mine___Monk
