Clint,

Our very first GEC was a 73 yelow rose.  Many knives ago but still a user and a favorite in the rotation list.

Bruce,

I would love to see a pic of one of those statues

There are statues of Emily Morgan here in Houston, all ways lined in Yellow Roses.  SALUTE!

It is a manly knife, even though it has a girly shield!!!

Johnny...

Thanks for your comment.  Yes I like the yellow scales as well.  In the Case Knife line it is normally the cheapest knife to buy.  I seen this knife and said, "What is that knife doing there?  That is my knife and I want it with me!".  So I bought my knife.  This is one manly knife, in every way.  I love this knife.

Thanks for the info Clint.

The Yellow Rose is my favorite Scale from GEC. I never looked into the Yellow Rose of Texas, but now I will. Yellow is my Mom's favorite color and she got me into this whole mess of knife collecting. She has gifted me all of my Yellow Rose knives, plus a few others.

Great knife and one of the Yellow Rose knives that are still on my list.

Hello my fellow GEC lovers and collectors.  I purchased a GEC two bladed trapper style #735210LP "Yellow Rose" #23 of 50 made.  The blades on this knife have a good amount of snap to them.  I mean you will have to open the blades with some conviction.

The Yellow Rose meaning the Yellow Rose of Texas is a good story to tell.  The story goes, the Yellow Rose of Texas was a woman who kept company with Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna just at the time Houston attached at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. The lady, a slave, was a mulatta girl named Emily who helped Houston to catch Santa Anna with his pants down...literally.  It is a great story.  Here are some pics.

Congrats Ron. Yeah she opens REALLY smooth....but that lock is a sticky little sucker. A touch stiff but I don't mind.

I suspect that the stiffness also makes the lock a bit more solid and I'm all for that!. Now if only we knew what the 2012 knife is going to be!

That is great Ron, but now we are looking at this years club knife. What's it gonna be and all that kinda stuff. I think that the people that have the 2011 knife will enjoy the next club even more.
