GEC: EDC, looking good, cutting well and fast becoming a favorite. Has cut everything incl. my wifes' plantar wart and bullocks heart for our pet Kookaburras.
I like the way the bone is coloring from use, carry and the odd wipe down
with 3 in 1 oil. A couple of months EDC.
g1 and g8 photos are out of the box, the other two today.

That started out as a great looking knife and you have made it look even better by EDC-ing it, John!
I love the way the handle looks and the patina on the blade is great! I can't say that I've seen any pictures of GECs around here that people have been using, but like I said, yours looks better now than when it was brand new.
Don't tell me what a "bullocks heart for our pet Kookaburras" is yet.
I'm going to see if I can find out for myself first!

Wait a minute! You fed her heart to your pet large terrestrial kingfishers native to Austrialia and New Guinea?!?!?
My God, that's horrible! She's America's sweetheart!

That is a good lookin' knife, the handles look great...
You know, I'm a little worried about justoldKen. Marcinek slipped a
REDHEAD past him just like a Greg Maddux (Well he
used to be a Cubbie) change up.
Ken...Ken...??
Let's play two!!

Bill,
A 'change up' is a type of pitch in baseball; it is sometimes called an off speed pitch. info... en.wikipedia.org
What's a cubbie?

One who plays baseball for the Chicago Cubs.
Keeping on theme (sorta).....
I
managed to
steal this
pitcher from Wikipedia for your pleasure ( and probably Marcinek's angst

).....
Billy Baseball
P. S.
It's still a nice knife too...

Ohh that was a painful pun
Lobo.

I liked it.
I saw Maddux pitch at Wrigley a couple years ago. Masterful. I've never seen anything like it. Worked fast, threw strikes, like 3 hits, 7 strikeouts, and 20 infield ground outs. Amazing.
I guess this may be unfair to John B. I had to go to wikipedia myself to find out what a kookaburra was (I think a bullock is a cow?)

No, it isn't. It' a bull that's been...um.. ocked, so to speak; for the Barbie and not procreation. U.S...Steer. Cheers

Well John, you'd think that since I'm from America's Dairyland, I'd be more specific about steers, bulls, cows, etc.
Thery are all "cows" to me. I'm a city boy.
So a bullock got a "visit from the ol' spey blade." Got it!
Your GEC would be an excellent choice for bullock-making!
I know
someone (I don't know who

) got this thread off track, so let me get back to the point...
Wow! That's a nice looking knife!

Hmmmmm.....
Is
that how you got the patina on the secondary blade?
Bull...er, BILL
P. S.
Yeah Marcinek, quit dragging this thread way off tangent!

I'll put it back on in twelve months or so if there is any significent change,
(and if I remember).

Cheers

Those GEC bone knives beg to be used. I am glad to see they are coming out with a new pattern.

Does anyone have a picture of the GEC scout next to something like a Case or Queen Trapper or stockman? The Scout looks like it has a pretty hefty blade on it. I'm just considering one.

EricKy,
If you want the knife to use, grab a GEC in 1095, you won't be dissapointed and if by some chance you are, they will repair or replace.
These are very helpful people who stand behind their product, 100 percent. Bryan has quite a selection at very keen prices. Cheers John.
