Tom,

The snakewood is just lonely without his buddies

The Garnet bone is a handsome knife as is the Yellow Rose. I haven't gotten on the Y.R. bandwagon yet but I have had my eye on one or two. Sometimes I wait too long and they are all gone! I have a few of those Executive Whittlers myself - just got a cocobolo one with the New Aged finish when they came out. I need to do some whittling with mine too. I typically use my other New Aged #25 for that and as an EDC. Let us know how you like your Hogan(s) when you get them. I need to send one of mine back - my new Snakewood one with the clip and double pulls has neutralizer still on the blade and it gives it a brownish appearance that does not seem to rub off easily. I hate to part with it because it is sure a good looking knife but it needs to go back to PA to visit my #72's I guess.

Tom, the Garnet bone has my number right now. I may attempt a rescue mission of one, but I really love the Yellow Rose, but I can only save one. : ( 

Nahh, I'll just wait till I can get both. I think a traditional whittler would be my first choice, I now have an executive whittle and I love it, I just need to actually whittle with it.

I've got a few Hogans and I like them. Mine are mostly Genuine Stag, Burnt Stag and Snakewood been thinking of picking up a Red Wine one. I struggle with the green issue too Johnny. Too many knives...too little money! I agree with you that a whittler would be a good seller for GEC. I liked the Courthouse Whittler but would like a humpback whittler, a seahorse whittler or just a plain old fashioned traditional whittler. Sounds like you got a pretty good collection though my friend and to boot you got a one of a kind Ryan special Powderhorn - a one of one! No one else can claim that!

Tom, I'd say so.

I'm thinking about a Ben Hogan, and to be honest I wasn't really worried about getting one for a while, but now.... I don't know? They all just look so good, I feel like I should test them all. : ) A whittler would be fun,  I think it would do well for GEC too.  I don't have enough green for them to show up in the mail box that often, but I try.

Johnny, I think that you are like me - you fall in love with almost all of the GEC knives! Even ones that may have not originally caught my attention find a way of speaking to me at some point and then one shows up in my mailbox! It's the darndest thing!!! I do like whittler's though.

Yeah, I think if thats what it is I need one. :)

I could fall in love with one of those right quick.

David,

Thanks for setting the record straight.  Been way too many years since I read Pinnochio, either myself or to my kids. In any event, I would wager that GEC will do it up right. The #33 frame makes sense. I would like to see a slightly larger model too someday. Not quite as big as the #54 Stockman Whittler (which I do like) but in between that and the #33.

Geppetto was a woodcarver and toymaker in the Pinnochio story. I'd say a whittler, hopefully built on the 33 frame.

I think that the Geppetto will be some type of whittler since that was Pinocchio's dads name and he was a cobbler wasn't he? Wonder what they will do to the Templar to improve upon it? More natural scales like bone and wood? Multiple blades? There is always plenty of suspense coming out of GEC's factory!
