All About Pocket Knives

I'm fairly pleased with the 48 pattern in all its configurations. This is a recent addition in genuine stag from CK. Thanks, Mike!! I think my favorite may still be the original with the muskrat clip and straight narrow spey blades, but I gotta admit, the Western Trapper has a lot of class. I'd like to see Great Eastern come out with a 48 in a muskrat clip master/pen secondary configuration. That shouldn't be too tough, should it? They already have all the parts. Just a thought....

I do like the long pull on the GEC. as far as looks go.

I want to know if the AAPK knife is easyer to open due to the nail nick being up more to the tip.

I can't tell the difference in opening.

Gunstock,
Outstanding Stag on both of your 48s! I REALLY love your taste in knives.

Ultimately I decided against one of the AAPK knives because the shape of the clip blade isn't my favorite and I've reached my self imposed limit of knife purchases for a while.
A week ago I purchased a serialize stag #48 Trapper Jack with the pen blade, but I returned it due to a defect in the clip blade. A shame too because the stag was nice. I would've kept it, but I didn't want to deal with a warranty repair on a new knife. As a replacement for the Trapper Jack I went ahead and picked up this unserialized Western Trapper in Burnt Stag. Love this one so far!

That's a beauty!! Congrats!

Here's a YELLOW one.

YELLOW ?

Gunstock & Augustus, that is some of the prettiest stag I've seen in a long time! Congraduations to you both!

They need to pair up the western spey with the original muskrat clip. now THAT would be nice!

Great showing of stag, folks. The yellow is pretty fetching too.

#23,really like this model with EC's

ooops my bad meant these to go on Fav GEC thread,sorry

I picked this one up the other day, it's on the way as we speak... #48 trapper in American cherry wood. most of the smooth American cherry woods I've seen were plain, this one seems to have a lot of character. I couldn't resist... Great pattern as well.

My #48 American cherry arrived today. Nice!

Great pattern and very nice wood on that one Ryan......I am a big fan of the SS line-up from GEC, nice score!!

Thanks IM! I don't have many pieces of the "acorn shield" series... its always good to add a beauty such as this one...

Picked this one up off of eBay couple of days ago. #48 trapper in bocote wood.

Bocote is such a sight to see! Great knife!

Thanks! I couldn't resist the detail in the wood on this one.
