It's one of Frank's (the guy doing the SFO) favorite writers and he also uses the Wilhelm portrait as a logo for his website. I tend to look at the Old Man shield on my #14 and admire it simply for the way it looks. I like to think of it as just an old man but nobody in particular even though I know who it actually is.

oh, i like it, its pretty cerebral for all us thumb cutters out here in the bleachers

This year the #12 Toothpick *GREEN BONE* Turkish Clip!

Last year the #46 Whaler

Maybe a #92 Eureka Jack is on the horizon?

Life is Good

 

[waverave]

Can anyone give me a heads up on who takes reserves?

Send me a message if you can

How long is the blade on these?

The #12 is a 4" knife...the blade is probably just a tad shorter than that.
For reference:

I like to think the Wilhelm shield adds instant personality to a knife and gives it character right out of the tube

A quick rendition of what Frank's SFO may look like (confirmed it is Tidioute).

Oh my Darren that is too sweet.

I had to give Frank a holler after seeing that.

Be fun to see a beaver tail on one of these.

 

[black mamba]

The blades are right about 3", give or take a sixteenth, on the four or five I've had.

Any folks out there brave enough to be pickin' their teeth with one of these thangs after having a big 'ol sirloin?

Totally agree, & that BR N'field is (still) in good hands. The heft and in-hand feel of GEC's #12s is really sweet IMO. I use this one a great deal in the kitchen. Though the pic was taken when it was still new/newish there's no telling how many strawberries I've sliced with it. Will update to show a current pic when I'm able. The elk covers have a slight reddish stain to them now.

That is a beautiful set right there.

 

[biglmbass]

Someone say beavertail?

 

[Behr95]

This will be my first tooth pick from GEC. I can’t imagine the amount of finish work that would go into this pattern.

 

[Elsilrac1]

Making me jealous!

 

[Halfneck]

One of the few GEC knives I've held on to. The first pocket knife I was given was a Case medium Toothpick Fisherman's knife. The pattern has a sweet memory for me. The GEC version is very well done. I went with the clip bladed version in snakewood.

Thanks man! I actually found one, went the old fashioned way and just went down the distributor list asking till I found one. I’m super excited.

I am likely going to hold off on this run. We'll see what they have at the rendezvous though. If they did it in farm and field trim as a fish knife (with or without scaler) in stainless I'd buy it.

This will be a short run but I can't find any ongoing Toothpick threads and thought it would be good start one. I do like consistency

There will be two SFOs this run. One is for Frank Powers (blood red jig bone with Wilhelm shield) and I'm not sure who the other is for yet. If anyone knows please divulge

And Dark Green Camel Bone? Sounds interesting enough for me to reserve one of those and a Che Chen. These will be my first Toothpicks and am looking forward to trying out the classic pattern.

I think the dark green camel bone is being introduced into normal runs because it went well at least year's rendezvous.

Undoubtedly too late for this run, but I just sent GEC suggestions/recommendations/ideas for a stainless clip/coping pairing. I want to believe they listen to their customers and someone reads emails. At least in my mind it's a good idea.

I also mentioned the world needs more gold glitter, and no I'm not joking. Would look great on a t'pick. I really do wish I'd have gobbled up the entire series when the picking was good.

The world always needs more glitter gold. Sadly, I doubt much of it will come from GEC. They seemed to say that once their current stock of the material is gone it's done. So probably only very short runs.
