Drop dead gorgeous knives. Those patterns in ivory are spectacular.

Indeed, very nice group there.kootenay joe wrote:My favorite Northwoods pattern is the Norfolk which was made as a pen knife and as a whittler. But these are tied with my GEC Conductor, a swell center pen knife for overall favorite GEC made knife.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
KJ, The Northwoods Norfolks and the GEC Conductor knives are fantastic examples of knives as art.
Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Roland, any of those are the pinnacle of what has come out of Great Eastern Cutlery. Thanks for sharing.
As an aside, thank you for what you contribute to AAPK's community. You are an asset and a gentleman.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
hey Roland,
here's my ivory Conductor along with the Dog Paw sfo I'd mentioned. I need to check the numbers again but I could swear there are less than 10 of the ivory knife w/bale. Thanks again for your help, you are far too generous with your time!

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
O.K. so that is the "Dog Paw". I have not seen it before. There are 7 Conductors with mammoth handles, but no bale. Anyone have one to show ?
They used the same pattern to make a whittler in 2013 but none had ivory or mammoth handles.
Question: what pattern number is the Northwoods Norfolk pen & whittler ? I would like to see GEC do a run of Norfolk knives.
Thanks for the supportive comments. We all try our best here.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Heritage Jack going to the stratosphere. Never thought I'd see any Northwoods reach this height. Man was I wrong. Gotta see it to believe it.

Guess it was a good investment. Thanks to Derrick Bohn. RIP blade brother, you're still giving to us all. And if GEC had any business sense whatsoever they would keep making stuff like this, they could put their own name on it and a different shield and sell their knives for several times what they are currently going for. Ammmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzziiing. Rock on Northwoods.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Wow! I missed out on the KSF drop off the Heritage jack but was able to trade a fremont for a mammoth Heritage. That's starting to look like a pretty good trade. The Heritage is about as close to a Forest jack as you can get. They are awesome knives.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Fine looking Forest gsmith. Love the speckled bone on that one. Do you recall the pattern those are on? I can't tell if it's 35, 53, or 54, or what? Love the bare head too, don't see that as much as they used to do either. Keep 'em coming, seems like you have a fine pile of Northwoods.gsmith7158 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 8:37 pm Wow!

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
This one hasn’t been in the barn very long, but it has quickly moved to the top of the heap. This one is one of the first run Fremonts from 2013.
I’m a long time collector in search of rare and limited GEC AND Northwoods knives. Always looking to add ivory pieces to my collection. PM to discuss sales or trades, please!

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Hard to pick one, probably the Ivory Willamette Whittler but I really like the Mammoth Esky Zulu also.
Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Easy for me. Whatever John here has, in whatever pattern. He'll have the coolest looking one around for sure. Wow those are incredible.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Thanks guys.
Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
My favorite pattern is the Big Bay and I love giraffe bone.
Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Gorgeous group ramrod, wow what a show you and John are putting on. Hard not to like giraffe. Love seeing these babies, keep 'em coming. Beautiful.

Re: Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife
Nice Northwoods DMB ! The Burnside Jack with blue bone, is it Camel or Giraffe ? And what is the red one at top of picture ? The stag Michigan jack with the EO might be my favorite of the 4 you show. I think only some of the Michigan jacks have the EO ?
