I took a little while before getting "into" GEC's new Geppetto whittler. The beautiful knife shown in this photo comes courtesy of my favorite knife supplier, Gary Norton of Northwest Knife Company. It's a Northfield with mesmerizing Cocobolo wood scales. The build quality of this little knife is fantastic. This little companion feels much better in the hand than I thought it would. This, primarily, is due to the larger front swell for the main blade area. I think that I'll have to get me a few more Geppettos...
