A 2011 look at some of the primitives.  The collection grew over time to every pattern that has been done in primitive.  More shots of them are in my photos, the early pages

.Here are serial #10 & #11 liner locks with cocobolo covers.

I have a number of GECs, but this is one of my favorites.

Great looking knives, fellas.

My 23 is a 2012 Tidioute with Pioneer Bone.  It's been the knife that's seen the most pocket time since I got it.

Thank you Ron. Here's a couple more 23's that I own. I have 18 total.

Comment by Ron Cooper on January 17, 2016 at 16:45

Wow! That's a real beauty, Jim! Love that "Frontier Bone"!

Comment by Jim Ochwat on January 17, 2016 at 16:42

Here's a beautiful 23 with Frontier Bone covers. It's 1 of only 6 that were made.

Here's my '08 Northfield #23...

GEC #23 Northfield Pioneer

It was originally a banana yellow but it's original owner had kept it submerged in motor oil for a couple of years before he auctioned it off on eBay. I was the winner of that auction and have owned it for the last 5 years. 

The size doesn't bother me as much as how hard it is to open. I bust a nail everytime I try to open that sucker! That's the main reason it sits in a drawer collecting dust.

That's a shot of my 23 watching a SoCal sunset!

Cory,

I am with you.  The 23 is a fantastic knife but it is at the limit in size for me.   I have a backpocket sheath that mine fits in but I carry it seldom due to the size

Comment by Derek Wells on January 17, 2016 at 14:40

"Sort of" with you Cory at 4.8 its about 3/10 of an inch longer than the #23 which itself is a BIG handful! But I guess (like my #23) if I had one it would be carried in a pouch on my belt. I carry my #23 on my belt that way lots around the farm and it is no problem - hardly notice it unless I am climbing through a wire fence.
