GEC's primitive bone is a unique material and no two knives look quite the same. Lately they've been putting on the stuff with extra character. Let's see some of your primitive bones!

GJ, I don't own any primitive bone GEC knives "YET" but, those of yours sure look good. They are giving me an appatite for a primititve bone handled GEC knife.

Now see what you've done......there goes that set of new shocks I was going to put on the wife's car.

This one was from the first year they started with the cow bones.
It has some green in it.

Singin; is that dated 2007? Some PB 73's (36) were transition dated 2006 but came out in '07 from what I understand. But when did they start marking the blade with the PB etch?

Not sure Gunny. This one is stamped 2007, I do know that much. The etch came much later I'm sure. In the beginning there was just a note glued on the tube, about where the bones came from. Most of these bones are around 60 years old.

Very nice Earl! I like the 23's so much I ordered another Primitive Bone linerlock.

I wish they'd make a few more of the 73's in the same configuration as the recent 23's.

I think this is my favorite scale material from GEC. I believe they're the only ones who even have it.
I can't imagine more beautiful knives than the five in your line up Gunstock Jack. They are really something.
Anyone else have any primitive bone to post? I have to find me some! Anyone have any leads send me a PM.

Anyone know the production numbers on the Primitive Bone knives that came out in mid-February this year?
I'm especially interested in the number of #73s and #23s that were made.
Thanks in advance,
Wilder
