All About Pocket Knives

Big Monk I'd say you got the GEC bug now...those Mink's are nice. Jack I don't what to say about the stag...luck of the draw
I guess, but I'll not complain. TJ for just one GEC you picked a classy one for sure...great knives guy's...

I had another, a GEC NF 73 that I sold at auction for Tank. Felt it better that it do some good rather than lay around the house.

The blades on those lockbacks have nice belly! Thats about the only way I like clips now....

I'm a Spear freak!

Really nice TJ.

Well, T.J. you've done it again. You've gone and made me envious. I've slobbered over that Executive Whittler since it first came out but it just hasn't been able to nudge food and rent out of the way on the priority list.

Good lookin knife TJ

The Tank fund auction was a great cause

nice knife TJ. i like a smaller frame knife more than so many of the big ones GEC usaly makes, i may have to get one of those, i talked to someone at GEC yesterday, they told me they are for sure going to do a stockman in the new 3 1/2" pattern, but dont have a time frame for sure mabe before christmas, i think it will be a good seller.

Why, thank you fellers. I got that one from Mike Latham at Collector Knives. It was listed as a EDC which meant it had some cosmetic flaw in it some where, ain't found it yet though. Price was really right too. It really is a cool knife when view up close and personal. I need to get some better pics up. Maybe I'll do that now.

hows the snap on those TJ ? i was looking awhile ago at them on some websites, and noticed the genuine stag didnt have the lined and pinched bolesters like the primative bone did, but either way they look prety cool.

just noticed i was looking at the riverboat gambler, but i guess the frame is the same ?

Can't say that I've seen the Riverboat Gambler but the snap on this one is great. Here are some new pics, though I don't know if they're any better. I think my poor old Sony Mavica is konking out on me. Records on floppy disc.

I read recently that Sony has stopped manufacturing floppy disks.

I've found that any floppy will work (2HD), you just have to format it in the camera. I'm using some that are MacIntosh format originally.

Floppy disc? Is that anything like an 8 track?

Nice walk 'n' talk; half stops on the small blades; smooth action!

More like the cassett - 3.5". The 8-track version would be th 5.25"

Right, right. Thanks for clearing that up TJ. Now if I can only learn how to set the time on my VCR. That flashing 12:00 is driving me crazy!

Move east to a different time zone, maybe it will flash 1:00

Gunstock you have to do what I did for my low tire indicating light that I got when I changed the rims on my Ford truck,put a piece of electrical tape over the light it works great!

Nice Whittlers TJ and Jack

Those are some pretty knives guys.

Yes, but my point (though not very well made) was that floppy disks are going the way of vinyl and it won't be long before you won't be able to get one anywhere. Geez Louise. 1.44 MB when you can get this little old thing no bigger than my little finger nail that has a 16 GB capacity. The memory cabinet for the first computer I worked on was as big as a refrigerator and held five KB of real honest to God core memory. That was in 1967.

Now if I just had a new GEC to show off. Well, ya'll will just have to do with this one.

I guess I'd better stock up on the floppy's, just in case. I've got a new digital camera with a lot better resolution and tele, but have not been able to figure out how to manipulate the pics yet. This Sony is so easy, just move the pics from the floppy to a folder in MyPictures and you can do anything you want to with them or send them anywhere you want. If the one I've got does bite the dust, I'll search until I find another. My computer did not have a floppy drive and I bought an external drive just for the camera.

What's a floppy?

Hey! The black tape works on the check engine light!


I wasn't gonna buy any of their jack knives but, well you know....

Beautiful knives Gunstock! Is th UN-X-LD ram horn?

Yup. Ram's horn scales.
