Love that one BTHunter. Sweeeeeet jigging, and the OKCA shows hold a special place in my heart. Love those. Can't wait to attend another one. Last two were cancelled and really a bummer. Congrats on that sweeeeeeet sweet knife.

I appreciate it. I love the beaver tails but the OKCA club knives are the pinnacle in my opinion. I still need the 2015 and 2012. If you know any fellow members or see one at a show, please let me know.
Always interested in buying: GEC Beaver Tails (any pattern, any year)

Bucki, that is a GREAT knife and it has the best handles. Wish i had bought one when they came out. Near impossible to find now. I have the #98 "Texas Camp Knife" with the same "Burnt Orange Jig Bone" handles as your Whittler. It definitely is my best GEC. You might feel the same way about your Whittler. The size is impressive but they are on the slim side, not at all bulky.
Congratulations. If you know where there is another please let me know :shock:

I had a nice collection of GECs and some were highly desirable rarities in some of my favorite covers. But, my favorite was always a stag 73. Unfortunately I sold them all including the 73. I recently lucked out in acquiring a pair of 74 Mustangs. One a stag (yippee!) and a Black Plum which is a pleasant surprise.

Mighty fine single blades Alan! Stag is a thing of beauty and the 73/74 combo is real easy on the eyes. My favorite single blade GEC is the 65 pattern. I’m drawn to the slim, generous length and I’ve always been a clip blade fan. The Snakewood isn’t real pronounced, but it’s still a keeper.

Thank you David, I appreciate it. It's much easier photographing knives than some other subjects. They just lay there and don't complain. Lol!

Here’s a recent addition that’s an instant favorite. 72 Lockback from 2010 in Dark Red Jig Bone. One of three made.
