Excellent video...not slow and boring like so many others! Thank you!!!!!
Ben Perea Thank you, sir 👊
Agree - I don't have the time (or attention span?) for 30 minute videos with a lot of off-topic chit-chat.
Glad I found your channel.
Doesn't a moose have 2 of the same blade?
hondasaki900 Thanks, man. I’ve seen different names on different patterns. The way GEC seems to name them, a moose has 2 full sized blades and a skinner (they’ve gone by different names in front of skinner) has 2 full sized blades that are the same.
Thanks for these videos - you're knowledgeable and give nice, clear explanations with very little "fluff." I appreciate that. :) You have some really nice knives, too - cool to see them.
Almost 4 years late but thanks for this video!
Hahaha! Thank you, sir 🙏👊
I consider many of these GEC knives to be higher-end knives simply because of excellent craftsmanship and because they are usually more expensive than others. I have the dilemma that some collectors encounter in that I want to carry many of my knives, but I don't because I want to keep them in pristine condition. I would love to see more collectors of traditional knives on CZcams talk about the knives they carry and how they chose them as their edc knife. My edc knife is a cheap Chinese made Buck that I got at Walmart, but I'm a bit ashamed that I can't make a decision on carrying one of my GEC knives.
Hal900 Carry them and love them. They look better that way 👊
Love these types of videos, great job.
Ethan Martindale Thanks, man 👊

Howard green Thanks, man 👊
Beautiful knives 👍🏻
LLuc Agullo Thanks, man 👊
Very precise and quick overview that you gave there. Good work. That would have easily taken me 15 to 20 min. to explain.
One popular pattern that you did not include _- unfortunately, just got my first one, loving it-_ would be the *muskrat.* So I'd encourage people to look at that too, even though it's just a touch on the impractical side with its two identical blades.
What is the second to last, the single blade Jack knife.
Nice. Hat tip....
👊🙏
✌🤙🤟👍🍻
Boy that was quick you must have a hot date,lol, enjoy thanks.atb paddy😀👍☘
paddys potato peelers Hahaha! Trying to do better with matching what my analytics tell me. They tell me I need to be under 5 minutes, if I want people to watch my entire video.
LOL 🤣
I think that the one you called a gunstock is called a Dogleg.
MrRebus777 The 3rd from the right at the beginning of the video? That one is the #76 Outlaw Gunstock Jack. GEC’s dogleg patterns are the 55 and 56, but those are not in this video.
@@Alumapro23 I must say I looked at 55 &56 and still think that 76 looks more like a traditional dogleg. I quess if you are making it you can call it what you like...
MrRebus777 Absolutely. I’m not a knife maker and never will be, but just an observation of mine. All the doglegs I’ve ever seen have rounded pivot and butt ends.
@@Alumapro23 Sir you seem to be correct, however i found one example of a square bolstered "serpentine pen knife or Dogleg" in Levine's Guide to Knives. I did not realize that serpentine knives are sometime called doglegs. Every time they talked about doglegs they also called them serpentine.
MrRebus777 Yes sir. The terms are interchangeable. When you start digging into patterns and the history, it is amazing what a small tweak here or there can do to the way a pattern is identified. Some of the stuff you’d never even notice if you didn’t study the knife.
