What GEC Are You Carrying Today?

Sometimes you just get a horrible dirty GEC that takes FOREVER to clean, today I'm carrying this GEC 43 that I got in 2018, and I have flushed it and cleaned it and open it probably a couple thousands times and its still a little gritty sometimes and occasionally hangs up on closing.

My 23 seems to have been tamed, I guess it needed it's toll of blood to be happy with me...that or whatever sliver of brass or whatever has worn away to free up the action on this beast ;) I'm still a little gun shy opening this one after the bite... in the end, this may well be my favorite GEC knife I have ever handled. The riverbottom grooved micarta is extremely pleasing in looks and feel, and I really dig the 23 for what it is. It just fits my hand like a glove, and the blade is nice and thinly ground so they get wicked sharp.

That's one fine looking Barlow. A #77 I presume?:thumbsup:
Thank you, yes sir 772119. This is the first one I was able to reserve from Mike. I prefer a 2 blade Jack knife but I must admit this one slides in and of the pocket so easily and it cuts like the dickens, I find it very easy to carry.
 
That's good, David. Multiple wives is not legal.


:D
Or very smart to have. They would also bee rather expensive ....

Read on tombstone (picture is online, somewhere)

"A man needs three things to be happy:
A woman who loves to cook and is good at it, and help's to raise the kids.
A woman who enjoys being intimate with him.
A woman not afraid to work to help pay the bills.
It's very important these three women don't know about each other, or you'll probably wind up dead, like me."
