Is your EDC a GEC?

That looks good WoodGuy!

That looks good WoodGuy!

Thanks! I was beginning to think no one liked it.
Cool! It looks better in person, it's like a mirror.

Indeed. I also like the what the mink oil did to the GEC pouch. Will have to try that.

I still need some bloodwood, by the way. Crossing my fingers we'll see a 73 in it soon.

I like it, but I also use a pocket sheath like you do. Im guessing the other school of thought is people who toss the knife in with their keys and change. They would possibly prefer a more matte finish.

Me personally, I like smooth and shiny. In fact, I would polish the wood too, not just the metal

congrats on the beautiful woods, thanks for posting pics.

speaking of beautiful wood, I just got my first African Blackwood, and wow, that stuff is slick and greasy, and I love it!

the Sheepfoot is Blackwood, the Spear is Gabon Ebony. Will have to get a better pic, but for now, this

[Wood-Guy]

Nice TC's Jon. I got me one of the sheepsfoot coming in the walnut wood.
Yeah... I like the thought of patina, but when I start to see some specs, I feel like I must act. And so I did!

Yeah the mink oil is great for darkening & softening up the leather... The one under the beavertail has been treated several times over and it's great! I am still working on the others, it will take some time for those I think... different leather/thicker.
Definitely need to get ya one of those bloodwoods... They don't disappoint. Especially in the sunlight.

[biglmbass]

I'll have to try the mink oil treatment. You're going to like that walnut Barlow. Got mine earlier in the week.

I hope so. it was between that and the African blackwood. decisions, decisions...
I think your right.

[jon_slider]

Decisions Decisions.. I could not decide between the Blackwood and the Walnut.. So after receiving a Blackwood Single and double blade pair, I ordered a Walnut single..

Now to pick 2 or 3 to leave the house:



Todays picks



Locked and loaded, ready for departure

[Wood-Guy]

#56 Ben hogan in ebony wood & #12 toothpick in jigged Brazilian cherry wood.

[jon_slider]

Babying the new arrival on the way out of the house

[Wood-Guy]

Nice walnut Charlow Jon, congrats!
I just picked up an African blackwood to keep my walnut wood company.

[Old Hunter]

Just dropped my brand new #15EO Sheepfoot Jack in my pocket this morning (first GEC to ever ride in my pocket - had to make myself do it). Gonna carry it all week and see if it is really as perfect as I think it is. OH

[Wood-Guy]

I'm sure you won't be disappointed O.H.

[Wood-Guy]

I finally got ahold of a #72lb in cocobolo with a clip blade. good thing for another run of 72s & 73s! I needed a carry with a lanyard hole. something tells me I will have this one on me at all times... the rotation doesn't apply to this one.

[big monk]

That #72, is going to make ya' a great EDC !!!!!! and ya' have that ""Barry Lanyard"" on it for dress !!!!

I've been EDC'ing this Ol' Stag #72, for about three years now** ( easy on the fingernails & and just my size**** )

[Wood-Guy]

I see ya recognized the lanyard. yep... It was on an ebony with a spear but I just couldn't bring myself to carry it, too good looking. yeah... The cocobolo will be a 24/7 back-up. on me at most times.

[Gundy]

Yep!

GEC #42 Missouri Trapper, S/No. 31.

The Trapper has been in my pocket for most of the day, an absolute joy to carry. The Stag is pretty special too.

[Wood-Guy]

Good looking #42 gundy! stag looks great! Great everyday companion.

[okbohn]

This one is in my current rotation. I almost always have a GEC at my side.

[Wood-Guy]

Good pattern, great blade combination. it looks like it gets put to work.

[Wood-Guy]

Got this one in today. #72lb ebony wood with clip blade, the counterpart to my cocobolo.
The hardest part will be which one gets more carry time... decisions...decisions...

[WelderBob]

I've been giving Ben quite a work out lately camping out on the river, from peeling potato's to cleaning fish and he seem's to like it.

My favorite carry is a back pocket sheath by D.M. Taylor.

[Wood-Guy]

Good looking knife! looks like its well enjoyed. very nice sheath as well.

[WelderBob]

Thank you Ryan...nice 72's you have and yes a tough chose. This one as been a user from day one and has preformed well....
