Tim,
WOW! I love the coloring and although my favorite bone is smooth, a well done sawcut comes in a very very close second
GEC did do a great job on this sawcut. Pile side is actually a little darker which I like :)

gec boys knife single spear nail nick,love the 15 patterens

Those old Northwood's are nice, and the 62 whittler. I never see any of the 62 whittlers in that Garnet Red ever posted.
I wish that I'd gotten on board with the Northwood Scagel's by GEC a little earlier. They seemed pricey at the time, lol, but not by today's stds. I've got maybe 3-4 of the 62's but this is the only EDC one. I don't know when the last 62 run was as I've been on a knife buying sabbatical for about 5 yrs+. Forgot the name of the "black finish" on the 25 - called New Aged at the time. Oops, I guess I shouldn't have EDC'd that one oh well...
I only carry my two GEC shop "S" model #43s in Frontier bone and Orange camel bone knives. I got so many knives. I am using the Boker/Buck/S&M lock-backs more often these days.. I have one arm , I need something that opens fast. The Boker web-sight states that ,"auto knives" are legal in S.C. I have asked cops about switch blades. Every one told me ,"no!". Legal or not , I don't need the hassle. CaseXX just came out with the 4" closed "Kick-start" clip blade hunter. I like the curly-wood SS Kick-start knife. Thinking about that one on next month's purchase. I have to carry more than one knife, so I get my moneys worth. I am always looking for the right GEC lock-back. I always end up buying Boker or S&M lock-backs at great prices on EBAY. NEW GEC #99s SS are coming out soon, but I am not crazy about the scale choices. GEC knife collecting is a head-ache and a hassle these days. I love GEC knives , but I hate the company. I want to support American knife companies and American jobs. I got 7 GEC knives that I bought this year. I am in 24/7 chronic pain and my patience runs thin. Planning to buy a Trestle Pine and at least two S&M knives in November. Looking forward to next Friiday, "monthly knife day". Searching everyday for cool knives, "Lets see how it rolls !" "BUY AMERICAN OR STARVE !"
