I think that thread from Barry was my all time favorite post here. I hope you something like that again Barry.

I'm currently planning a fall hunting adventure featuring one or two special GEC's, but until then you'll have to settle for local excursions. I love keepin' you'all in suspense, anyway.

Crab season starts July 1, but I don't really need a nice knife for cleaning crab, as you just use your hands and brute strength to tear the carapice off (not to mention gloves and care, as them bad boys have an attitude when you try an' get aholt of 'em, and they pinch hard enough to draw blood, even with gloves). If I did want a knife along, it'd have to be a stainless version, of which I have a new EDC ordered for that purpose (saltwater exposure). It's a burnt stag stainless 72 with a minor flaw; I'll be posting picts soon!

Oh yeah, primitive bone...

YOU KNOW I LOVE IT!!!

Beautiful Barry.

Now See Gunstock Jack in.... GEC's Deadliest Catch.
One man, one million crabs, and no knife.... unless he really, really needs one.

When the squirrels get nice and legal to hunt, I'll have my own show, it won't be near as good as Barry's, but it should be some what interesting to see.

"a sunny NW day" LOL

That prim bone dogleg jack is beautiful Barry.

[Ramrod]

They are all great, but I especially like the dogleg too!
My first PB is on the way!

[Gunstock Jack]

Thanks, Mike and Mark. I like that dogleg too! Here are some fresh photos of it:

I guess I'd be happier if both sides were dark like the mark side, though. I like that 72 of yours, Mike. That is some real nice looking PB! I wish they'd made some with a clip blade.

Mark, enter the PB arena with care, as it can become obsessive! And we don't need more competition!

[biglmbass]

That's a fine PB collection there, Barry. I've not yet gotten anything in PB, but the great pics in this thread have certainly pushed me in that direction.

[jerryd6818]

Barry, are you trying to corner the market on those in the top row or do you just not want anyone else to have any but you?

[vikingdog]

I wish they'd made some with a clip blade.

Me too Barry. That would have suited me just fine. The "lumberjack" spear isn't very practical but the knife sure does look good.

[Gunstock Jack]

Jerry; it's funny how those things multiply! The first one I got (11) was sent in error, but I decided to keep it. Then I began to like it so much I ordered another, and another, as three is a good number. Then I accicently won a couple on feebay, and, well there you go! I DO like the large PB slabs better than the smaller patterns, though. Anyway, I'm not going to buy anymore, ever!

[Gunstock Jack]

I've been tryin' to pick up a 735207 in Primitive Bone, but hadn't had any luck until some came up on fee bay. Seems like feast or famine.

This one sold for $168.00 in spite of the fact that it was rather rusty on the off side:

This one I was just outbid on in the last second, it sold for $124.50

Finally, I won the bid at $92.00 on this knife:

The second and third knives may be rust specked as well, but I can't tell from the dealer's photos. He has one more listed that is currently at $52, but who knows? Maybe it'll sell for $71.00 if the trend continues!

[Gunstock Jack]

Here's the other one, but he may have more. It closes Thursday at 7:30 PDT.

[Earl]

Nice grab Barry

[Gunstock Jack]

A little less than perfect, as there was some minor speckling that I mostly cleaned. Really nice bone, though, at a great price! The last of the four sold for $108. Happy to add it to my PB assortment!

[johnny twoshoes]

Okay my first Primitive bone, a beautiful gift from Ryan Daniels... his own pocket knife.


The pics don't do this knife enough justice, they really have some big, heavy, beautiful scales.

[tjmurphy]

Great looking knife Johnny.

[biglmbass]

Johnny,

To use Burger King's phrase, I'm loving it. That's a nice one & I'm sure you're proud to own it.

[Earl]

[Gunstock Jack]

What??? Out of Ryan's own pocket??? Man, have you got connections!!! Some truly awesome bone on that Powderhorn, one of my favorite patterns in Primitive Bone!

[johnny twoshoes]

I don't know about connections, but I have truly been blessed by this wonderful gift.
It has some thick Primitive bone too, I got to see a great collection of primitive in person, and I'm more than proud to have one in my collection.

[stipe82]

Going through this thread. Man those are some nice ones!! I've recently started a primitive bone collection myself.
