Show off your 15's

[ISKRA]

Thanks for the concern men, but it's misplaced The knife was a present from a notable member here and it is a second. I removed the chain & shackle and it's ready to go The chip looks worse in this shot than it is, being well matched in colour and smooth. The knife has a load of character and will be a super-user all the way.

This way you won't be all too mad if the dry Scandinavian air cracks it. Hopefully this doesn't happen. On the bright side, the chip gives it character and offers us a great oportunity to see what the bone looks like beneath the jigging.

15 Spear and smaller 14 neighbour

I really love that red jigged bone 14! Perfect set together.

 

[Will Power]

Rose and Thistle Custom Yes thanks it's a good colour alright

What I've been hoping for is a Red Micarta Spear blade 15 or a Longpull Spear 15 but it has yet to happen

I'd be up for those too.

The 15 and the 93 Waynorth are my favorite GEC. It sounds like Maher and Grosh redone, ditch the small blade and recover... I'd love to have one done with the looking glass abalone. I like the bald headed look, only one bolster.

I think Barehead looks best on this pattern and on most single blades too

The garden is doing poorly this year,
Very wet spring in NE ohio

Scott, your picture didn't show for me. It's been a bad drought here in Alaska till the last week or so we finally started getting some rain.

Bet it pops up eventually

I had a job offer in Alaska in the late '90's
I wanted it BAD,
But could not talk my wife into the move

 

[Rose and Thistle Custom]

I like the jigging too much to get this one done but figure this ironwood burl belongs on a 15 eventually.
Love the contrasts in that picture, simple dark ebony against the vibrant produce colors.
You should check out the pictures of Alaska I put in the regional forum.

Decided to let the singles out for a groupie. No twin blades or TC Barlows this time.

Sweet Scout!

Thanks, it's a real Shiner in the dark Actually, the Nifebrite is tough stuff and goes well with patina.

Regards, Will

GEC released the Farmboy in late 2013. One could (accurately) call it "GEC's Mini-Trapper", a pattern that is securely at the top of my favorite patterns. I'm glad I didn't know back in 2013 that there were only forty seven of these made in Antique Yellow. Had I known I doubt I ever would have modified it, used it and therefore enjoyed it as much as I have. The Farmboy is such a wonderful knife I hope GEC chooses to make more of them. Like an old friend this one has on occasion been taken for granted yet at the same time, it's has always been an absolute treasure.

I remember those - they lingered in the shops for a long time. Funny how things change.

James, how did you modify it?
