Anyone like trout?

I sure do, my favorite way to spend a great April morning outdoors, just standing along a fine PA stream.
And who better to share it with then friends, family, and a toothpick.
When I got this knife I had one thing in mind, and that was to get out and enjoy some trout fishing together, it's a great carry and I'm happy to have it by my side.

And the stainless is definitely a plus.

Great pics guys.
Fishing is a great way to connect with friends, family, and especially with knives.
There is almost always a need for a knife when fishing, so it makes it nice when you have one you can really trust in. GEC has done a great job on their stainless steel, I have cleaned 10 trout with my toothpick, cut up some cardboard, as well as a few other chores, and the blade is still razor sharp.
They are hard to beat.

Great pics, great knife, Johnny.

I do like trout but, I'm a loyal bass man mostly.

I couldn't stand it after seeing the Amer Elk thread and I recently popped on a t'pick like yours. Love, love it, though it was not near as sharp as my one other GEC in SS.

It will, however take the stems off strawberries like nobody's business.

Hey Bass, I would love to see a pic of your toothpick.
After carrying mine a while the colors have really changed a bit, from a nice dark burnt, to a mellow cream, now after cleaning some trout it's a got a darker hue to it.

Great pics, and I like the fishing related thread.
I'm hoping to get out tomorrow to do some trolling for spring Coho if the weather permits. I carry a Texas jack for bleeding fish, mostly walleye just before they hit the ice or live well.

Another great pic Bass, beautiful knife, really looks like some great character on those scales.
Do you pack this one in the pocket?
One of GEC's best patterns, I think even my Fave.

I've carried it a few times and would have today, but I was wearing shorts and prefer a smaller knife for those occasions. It's my second GEC t'pick and I really like the pattern.
