All About Pocket Knives

here is my latest gec knife only 22 of them made with snack wood.cleck on pic to in large.

Nice knife, I like the use of wood on handles. They used Bocote which I liked and I would like to see the use of Cocobolo, Rosewood, or ebony for another. I hear Bill Horn has the rights to that one, the ebony. Not to expensive and brings back some old woods that were used in the past.

Fantastic !

Is that snakewood stabilized, or not ? And are those new labels that will be used for all the GEC's now, instead of the little stick-ons ?

I would guess that's it's not, only a few can do that with any success. Snakewood will pick up a shine just like that by buffing. I made a couple knives with snakewood and it's so dense I just buffed them. Last I saw them they still had a beautiful shine.

I'd sign up for one with ebony, if it were a trapper size with an endcap.

But that'd do MM out of some work, and I wouldn't have any file on the springs. And I sure wish they'd make it with a lanyard hole.

A trapper, in a Cutter's & Collector's slip case, with a string on the handle is

I hear an ebony #73 trapper from GEC will be coming to Bill Horn by the end of the year. With and without an endcap I believe, in quantities of 50 each. Might be sooner than that, he is taking orders for the Ram's Horn now.

I wanted a snakewood in a bad way but the Boss would not let me buy one.
Hey j5109, That is a nice knife but I must say That I wish you had it on a different display stand.

It would be real nice and a great promotional aide if GEC made some and sold it along with SFO's and sold some at cost.

hey hukk i agree with you i would use it if i had one
