Just scored this GEC Pattern 13 Whip. A SFO for GPKnives in 2017. New In tube, perfect in every way.

I obviously suck at taking pics.

GECs are worthy modern collectibles. Upcoming:

I just got the new 38 with the big wharnie and pen blade. Single stout spring - so nice and slim, disappears in the pocket. Fit and finish is just amazing - and I've always been a sucker for their acrylics - wish they offered more. This will be my edc for some time I suspect ...

Love this camel bone 77 that just showed up.

Sweet, sweet lineup indeed My faves are the 48s of course

Several GECs posted at low prices on Ebay today. I noticed one said stock photo, wouldn't allow contact with seller and no returns. A couple look like they have fake stag. Are there counterfeit GECs out there?

Thank you too, I know you like 48s and the Diamond Jack was nice to finally get. Though I really like the 66 and 77. And the TC Barlow. Thanks againfor the mention.

These two, and one last 86 coming in from the most recent one. It will be the amber jigged bone/1095 jack.

My humble GEC collection so far. Have a stag 94 inbound and this years club knife coming. Need one more to make a dozen. What do yall recommend? I really love the 99.

checkout the 19 and 62 patterns, they are amongst my favorites produced by GEC.

I recommend any of the Barlow’s especially the TC Barlows. Also the Vipers are pretty hot too. My personal favorite of the GEC patterns, besides the Barlow’s, are any whittler. GEC does have a great Eureka Jack pattern too. Sooooo many to choose from.

Surprising how tastes vary. Whittlers just dont do it for me. I do love me some Barlows. That 47 Viper is calling for sure.

38 half whittlers. Mine is the Burnt Orange saw cut, hers is the yellow smooth.

Took delivery of this stag handled GEC 94 pattern today. I love me some stag..

Beauty RRRick, that is niiiiice. Congrats on a winner. Been looking the 94s over. Nice size.

The green was a club knife SFO run, really enjoy it! The burlap is no slouch either IMO. I have one more on the way, I could not help myself and ended up grabbing the amber bone jack as well.

Thanks Iman. Yes the smaller ones dissappear in your pocket until needed. I decided to carry only one GEC in the EDC rotation. A little 22 for that very reason. I used it one day to slice some meat in an Asian lunch I was eating. That carbon blade instantly took a patina. Actually looks kinda good that way.

Thanks to Cougar Creek Knives this arrived and really tickles. Flawless, love amber bone, and the lanyard. Another fabulous piece from my fave knife company.

Thanks to Spring Hill Cutlery I scored this 86 Barlow today.
