Thanks for the heads up Jan, because I would have been freaking out again. : (

Thats sheath looks great, especially with the Elk stag, they make a great pair.

Did not want anyone to miss this announcement..

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that ning will perform some simple but necessary maintenance on iKnife Collector this coming Friday, December 2nd. They’ll need to take the site down from 10-midnight (PST). During these 2 hours, we’ll simply show a message asking folks to check back later.

Thanks in advance for your patience while we tune up the site!

I am still guessing the white owl is being named after a cigar.  So my thoughts are a cigar whittler

Just had to share this sheath that came today from Docs knives.  Donnie is in love already

I'm excited about the White Owl, but that is because of the name, I love it. It sounds like a classic old knife, but it hasn't even been finished so I think it has a good connection with tradition already. If I connect, I will add one to the collection, but right now I'm refraining from the new knives.

Personally, I can't handle a knife that's smaller than 4". In the kitchen a 4" knife is a small paring knife for detail work, and I like it just for that, but then in the kitchen I'm using 8", 10", 12", and 14" knives. I know, hard to pocket those, but I want a knife that I can use to do a little bit of everything, in the home, out in the yard, in the garden, in the office, and when I'm out, say camping or having a picnic. I don't whittle and probably never will, but I do cook every day and sometimes the hand and the delicacy of motion with the blade are the same. As I have said before, I'd like to see GEC go bigger, and as a user and collector of their beautiful knives I tend towards their bigger knives, #23, #36, #46, #65, and yes even the wonderfully skinny but solid, nice and long #89. I haven't held a #54 moose yet, but I think I would like it very much and want to see them make more of those too. Nevertheless I am always curious to see what GEC will introduce next as in my opinion this company is quite infallible in their taste, sense and dedication to history, quality, service, and craftsmanship.

I see that the GEC stag conductor came out today too. What do you think the White Owl will look like? I am guessing that by it's size 3 7/16" it will be a Jack knife similar to Case's 6231 1/2 or maybe a larger barlow than they currently make.  It is bigger than GEC's current barlow but smaller than just about everything else that they make.  Any thoughts?
