I went fool when I saw the AAPK #74 bolsters on the GEC web-sight. Dummy me got everybody in an up roar. I am sorry about that. There were nine 2020 AAPK club knives left when I checked the AAPK web-sight , instead of my emails. I got one by the skin of my teeth. I bought a blue AAPK t-shirt too. I hope my knife/shirt comes in soon.

Great score One Arm B J. Great run of a great pattern. Congrats.

Lucky to score this 85 Bullet End EZO. Sort of a grail knife for the 85 part of the pile. Loved these babies since they came out but missed the release back in '16 so this is making up for it and the smooth autumn gold bone stole the show. Shown with the EZO Liner lock in smooth ivory bone.

Nice knives iman ! Do you have an 85 with a saber grind blade ?

Wow Iman, those are both epic scores! Congrats.

Just scored a 93 in oily creek and a 74 in stag. Both have great character in the covers.

Good scores! Beautiful knives.

Good scores! Beautiful knives.

Thanks!
Here’s the other side on both. Definitely scored with these

The 93 is one of my favorite patterns and that 74 is beautiful!!!
Just got this 48, in the mail, today...

J1890 the stag is great, so is the oily bone. And the pile side of the Mustang is greeeeaaaaaat. Also love no shields. Killer scores.

Doc B, beauty there too, love the improved trapper in stag. Niiiiiiiiiiice. Great score.

Thanks Doc! That 48 is sweet! Excellent score

All these GEC's are very attractive. Excellent stag on the #74, almost as good as vintage Sheffield stag. The only thing GEC cannot make is an ugly knife.

just in case wrote:Thanks W'Bob and Monk. Yea man, i love the 3 7/8'' trapper! I got this one to carry but I cant do it Monk. Maybe Ill get a wood handled one to carry. Why does the S stand for store?? Does anybody know?? Jason

That "S" is stamped on the EDC knives,as a mark,for ""blemish" or ""flaw""_____but from what I have heard,an inspector would have to point out the ""flaw" cause,most are very minor

I just bought a white bone GEC#19 Rattler "S" knife. I thought it had a pin crack , but I was wrong. I dyed it with Navy Blue leather dye. I have a stonewashed blue Little Rattler knife , now.

I own one GEC#43 Frontier Bone knife. I bought two GEC#43 "S" knives from DTL Trading in 2018. The Orange Camel bone "S" knife came in light strawberry camel bone color. The #43 Frontier bone "S" knife came in really ugly. I have spotted some nice ones and I have to ugliest one made. I touched it up with black leather dye and that really helped. I love that ugly knife with patina on steroids.

Just picked up the 74 Stallion. Now I’ve got a pair of ponies!

nice score , enjoy, I missed that run also but was able to find a single blade smooth autumn gold bone and antique yellow jig bone awhile back. I paid a premium for both so I'm not letting them go anytime soon.

Thanks texoma.

Gorgeous. Wow what great stag, great patina, great trunk cross section, and that cougar clawed bone is looking better and better with age, way better than new. Just smashing. Congrats.

Roosevelt Elk covers modded by Evan Esnyx who does fabulous work. Love the feel of the rounded covers, not flat like jigged bone.

" Beautiful ".

Just got this in. Can't believe there are still some of these on the shelf. Beautiful, in hand!

Very nice. Can’t believe those are still around either.

Agreed, some of those M&G are some of the best looking GEC SFOs the past couple years, and yet took forever for the whittlers to sell out if they are, and these too. Can't figure that out. Great looking knife, congrats, that's a looker. And a GEC that isn't stamped GEC is just cool to me. Love that about Northwoods too. Great score though.

My wife treated me to a fixed blade with excellent bone color
And a big ole 23 with the bullet shield. Those were under the tree.
I am a blessed man to have a wife like her

Merry Christmas! Those are sweet!!!
