Is your EDC a GEC?

[gino]

Usually I have a GEC with me every day, right now its this 33

My GEC EDCs:

Corvus,

Interested in the black patina / coating on the blades of the #26 and #72 in this picture ...

Also, do they all have brass (or electroplated) bolsters?

Did I miss a sprint run ... ?!

Those are some sweet EDCs!

Edge, I'm pretty sure those have a hot vinegar patina. Rick can elaborate further.

[Corvus]

Hey Edge. Trand is correct; the blades have a forced patina using hot cider vinegar. I've detailed the procedure here, if you're interested: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showt ... der+patina

The bolsters are plain ol' nickel silver, though GEC did do a run of #23s (or was it #73s? - I forget) in brass. The color in the photo got a little screwed up, probably due to an overcast day.

[On Edge]

Thank you gents. Apologize for late reply …

A poorly worded and photographed ebay listing yielded this very lightly used beauty at a bargain price!

I only have one GEC, but it's a good one.

Great looking #73 Christian!!

I picked up a second #33 with Tortoise Shell acrylic to be a user. The patina's already started but here's a pic from when I first got it.

[kamagong]

Thanks Trand. No patina on mine yet unfortunately.

[On Edge]

That's a sweet little tortie, Trand!



I like the way the conductor looks in that material - it suits it well ... I picked one up some time back, and just been holdin it - maybe she should get some pocket time ...

......I'm gonna need more pockets

[Texas_Aggie]

SHE SURE IS! Here is My 54 BIG Jack!

[biglmbass]

Nice one, TA. That's one of my favorite patterns & it doesn't get any better than GEC stag.

[Texas_Aggie]

Thank ya! the big #54 IS my favorite pattern, hands down. I wish theyd do another run so I could have one in primitive bone : (

[Texas_Aggie]

I would carry this one....but shes too pretty and serialized.

[Texas_Aggie]

Here is my Big Jack EDC, carrying for about 8 months now. I just put a forced patina on her and I must say...I am in love all over again. I almost hated the carbon steel because of maintenance. The forced patina WILL NOT RUST. It looks like the flange area on a Harley, after its been heated and cooled...about 10 different colors in the sun. Black as night in normal light and inside.

50/50 lemon juice and water over night. DO NOT SUBMERGE YOUR KNIFE. It will ruin handles made of natural materials (stag, wood, none etc).

[biglmbass]

I like the looks of that, TA. I keep telling myself I'm going to try that sometime to one of mine. Did you do the backsprings?

[Texas_Aggie]

The back springs are solid black just from everyday use. I think its a great way to stop worrying about staining your EDC. Its not reversible unless you re-polish so think ling and hard. Thanks for looking! See yall on the Grid iron in a few weeks

[biglmbass]

See yall on the Grid iron in a few weeks

Indeed. Looking forward to seeing y'all punch Auburn in the mouth on Saturday.
