All About Pocket Knives

Check out the "roadkill" graphics on this photo of the new Cuban Castro Dead Skunk w/ Fidel in the background.
The guys/gals at GEC know how to make knife collecting even more fun.

I'd like to see it with a muskrat clip and spey paired along with the wharnie and sheepsfoot. JMHO

Barry, I bet if you bought 10-15 of 'em, you could get them to make that configuration for you and then you could sell them to Big Monk for twice what you paid for them. You could call them the Gunstock Jack 2011 Club Knife.

Wait a minute.... that's a great idea! For a club knife I mean.

You boy's have come up with a good idea....I think you need to lose the "dead skunk" though...

Dead Skunk is too cool, heres one.................a Calf Roper.

No, not Dead Skunk. I like it but it's not for everybody. I would like to see Cocobolo or Ebony, or possibly elk or moose stag. Sambar stag seems to be getting pricey.

A jigged Ebony.....similar jigged to the Beaver Series

Yeh______sell em' to ""Big Monk"" for twice what ya' paid for them sounds like a good idea to me !!!!!!!! I always figured,if you got to ask the price,you can't afford it no ways ????_____sorta like everyone thinkin' $199 on the Genuine Stag is high,for these new #73's ___it is if you go back to the 2008 prices--but last year,when the 2010,#72 Genuine Stag, Lockback,single blade came out @ $180 ____couldn't wait to buy another one,till they ran out ????? same thing with the 2011 #53 Cuban Stockmans___everyone was just tryin' to buy them all !!!!!!!!!!!! @ $180 per pop !!!!!!!!!____looks like only a 10% increase on this latest batch ????????____but remember guys,what Jerry said you can always sell em' to ""Big Monk"" for twice what ya' paid for it

It's cause you're trying to corner the GEC market, Monk. I figured you'd pay it. Is there anyone on the board that has more GECs than you?

I hope not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone pick one of these up yet? Would "seem" as if these are moving slowly,except for the red stag possibly. Wonder if its cause of the repetitive nature of the blades or possibly size.... ie:4 blades = big knife. I haven't picked one up yet cause the handle selection I've seen hasn't bowled me over.....yet.

Thoughts?

MY Thoughts_______________UGG____LEE !!!!!!!!!!!!

Best lookin' of the lot,is the Primitive Bone (different,darker shades**),but priced at stag prices !!!! ---the Red Stag,looks really like the burnt stag,tinted reddish??? (is there such a word as reddish??) and without a ""Clip Blade"" just not my cup of TEA****____but as you all know,this is just my OWN HUMBLE OPINION !!!!!!!


I guess they could sell em' to ""JERRY d6818"" for half price ?????

just picked up two a crushed sea shell and a ebony. very happy with them. blades are razor sharp

Half price? I'll take two. What'er we talking about?

While I like the knife OK, I think it might've been better with four different blades instead of two and two. And yeah, they are a little pricey. I sure do like the red stag, though.

Think of it as a BIG CONGRESS......................

Yeah the red stag I've seen doesn't register as red stag to me...... compared to previous offerings.

Monk..... "ugly" in regards to pattern or handle material or both?

Paul..... Is that your first of this handle material? Looks good in pics,but I'm on the fence bro.

You pick one up Jim?

I clarify,the UGG-LEE________I'm just not a Congress fan,nor four blade knife fan,_____ that may be the reason,the knife is "ugly" to me ??? I don't own a single GEC congress pattern knife ____Some years ago, I did buy a couple of the Case congress knives,trying to find something about them I liked, _________but never did ??? Three blades,just seems like enough,and I hardly ever use, the spey blade on my Cuban Stockman. And as far as the handle materials,the Primitive Bone,looks the best to me !!!!! but jumped past the price, of the Burnt Stag & Red Stag ???? Again___JUST MY OWN HUMBLE OPINION !!!!!!!!!!!
