I’d really like to find a white bone forum knife.

My pleasure, GEC’s smooth white bone offerings are some of my favorites, they are in fact the only smooth cover of GEC’s that I own. I advocated for smooth white for the last BF knife and thus was offered this one. My other favorite cover is red sawcut so really a jackpot for me, even given all the drama around the BF knife last year.

This #22 Gunstock is covered in something called "buckthorn bone". I don't know what that means, but it looks like smooth ivory bone to me. Perhaps a little more translucent.

Good to see this thread being recharged.

Long term user, mellowing.

Looks well even on a small knife of humble origins

This one went missing for a few months. I had written it off as gone forever, but thankfully my daughter found its hiding place when she borrowed my truck.

The thread caused me to dig out one of Lyle's SFOs and I'm convinced that it's 'matured' in the brown oily paper inside its tube! Certainly looks darker and more IVORY than WHITE, but with my failing eyesight who knows...

Could be... but it would of course be better off Barehead

I often wonder what has happened to all the secondary blades you've had deleted.. must be a pile of them by now Has any modder used them to make new knives ?

Thanks, Will

haha to date ive had a 15, 48, 77, 92, 15, 86, 85,86 modded with a 68 delete that was offered, a 66 that was a gift. the only one ive known of being used was the coping i had made from the 92 that was made into a carving knife that was gifted. it would be quite an interesting gec to see made of all these secondary blades.

Very fine example of a 'pure' Eureka there: wonderful creamy bone that ages, small bolster, no shield and no brass. Beautiful knife, I'm very fortunate to have one too - what would be the chances these days with 'drops' ? Droppings
