Glad to hear that mouse is in the "ERL" Ron , I hate to see unauthorised excitement in the rodent community.

Any one manage to snag one of the red soupbone barlows??? They all went so dang fast!

Graeme, we got one from a run about a year ago and I love it!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Thanks Ken.  I did manage to grab one a little while back.  Gave it to my Dad for Christmas, he was super pleased. 
Now if only I could get a Charlow with a long pull spear blade...then I would be super happy!

It's not bad.  I paid a little less, but I have seen them for higher.  As high as about 180.  So its pretty good. 

Very nice looking knives.  I am tempted...but I have a clip point in Mammoth that I like, but it is one heavy knife.  A 2 blade must weigh a tonne!

I found the 99s to be a little pointy and uncomfortable at times....how are those?

I have one of those #63 in black water jigged bone in the mail, should be here first of week. I'm going to have to update my GEC pics soon.

Jan I love the knife you pictured here.  Next to swing guards they bring back the memories.  I will check this out.

Okay.  I have a Mako 63 on its way.  I could not resist.  I will post some photos and a short review next week.  Be safe my friends.  A storm is coming.

Because GEC makes theirs in carbon steel I feel they are as good if not better than Case.  When I get mine and have the time...retired now....less time...I will take some shots and give a report to the members.

Excellent Clint.  Thanks and enjoy the knife

Leo, made in the USA and low production is what originally attracted me to their products.  Then when I put one in my hand I was hooked

LOL, Ron I feel the same way

This is my new #63 Tidioute Cutlery Mako Pocket Knive in Gabon Ebony.  When I opened the package and removed the iconic tube, I paused for a moment with a fleeting thought.  "Don't open it just put it away with the many other GEC".  I then started chuckle.  "Yea...sure."  I pulled and removed the plug marked 631115Gabon Ebony.  I removed the protective wax-paper containing the GEC knife.  I rolled the paper open and revealed my purchase.

I examined this knife very closely.  I look for a flaw no matter how miniscule but I found none.  This knife is a work of art and a first rate example of American Craftsmanship.  The blade is crisp and with plenty of snap when opening and closing.  This is one beautiful knife.

As I held my new best friend in my hand, I was envisioning how much I would be carrying this knife and how it will nicely fit in my jean pocket.  The longer I looked at this beauty I had a thought creep into my mind.  "This is too beautiful to carry and use.  Are nuts?"

So I rolled this knife back into the wax-paper cover and slid it back into the iconic tube and pushed in the white plug and set it on my desk to admire and tempt myself to revisit my new best friend.

Wow! She's a beaut, Clint!

And I can certainly relate to everything you've posted. I have some beautiful knives that I haven't even seen in years because they were just too beautiful to carry and--horror of horrors--run the risk of getting scuffed up. So they ended up hidden away in a tube or a box, locked up in a safe or a drawer.

'tis a dilemma, fersure!

Thanks for sharing your "newest" best friend. If you're anything like me you'll have another newest bestie before too long. Us Knife Knuts are fickle that way.

They certainly do make a good knife do GEC ,every time I pick one of mine up I am impressed with the quality.  Great looking knife Clint use it you know you want to !!

Thank you guys.  I highly suggest you buy one as well.  I thinking of buying one for carry....maybe one with a different color handles.

How is it in hand?  I worried that the sharp corners on the end might be uncomfortable.  I find that the 99 which is a smaller knife is not so great in hand due to the corners.

It fits in my hand, normal size hand, just great. The corners are not sharp Graeme.  Great knife.  You will not be disappointed if you buy one.

We bought the pins from Greg at TSA Knives, he did a WWP donation from the purchases.  

This is great Jan.  I love these pins...as well as the knife.

I bring to you..Mr Ken Mundhenk and a well set show table of beauty

agree, ken has a mighty impressive display of gec's

Nice picture Jan.  Thanks for posting this.

It is always nice to put a smiling face to our friends and dealers

My newest BeaverTail!  Goodness i wish they would make more of these

sweet beaver tail, love the shield!

Beautiful knife Jan.

Beaver Tails are cool knives if only for that toothy critter of a shield. I'm also fond of pruning blades. Love your new knife, Jan!
