The wise old owl is presumably called Howard after GEC’s founder, Bill Howard
A nice fact I'd heard but completely forgotten. Thanks for reminding me!
I do that all the time! Actually, I’m still watching your video, so I was half expecting you to remember it, and I’d have to rush back and delete my comment!
@@slick_slicers No worries there!
I tracked one of these down. From a brilliant guy who has a phenomenal collection. I'm deciding to pull the trigger or not. I remember this video well as it was your first. Thought I'd give it another watch.
Missing you're videos mate. Hope you are well? 🤝
That is a beautiful knife. I'm glad you got your hands on that one, buddy. Cheers!
Thanks a bunch!
Beautiful knife pal Congratulations
Thanks!
Another new knife for us to indulge in. We currently carry a Norwood (2 blades) pass down from our grandfather. After all those years of usage it still wants to cut. White Owl will be on the Xmas list. Cheers mate.
One of my favourites!
Congratulations. So good to see someone genuinely stoked with their new knife.
I sure am! Thanks for watching.
Hello 👋
I was just wondering if you could please do a video or 2 on sharpening your knives and caring for your carbon steel knives.
I'm glad you got one!
I'm happy to see you here! Sorry the video was a bit rambly, I was quite exited! 😅
Great video!!pretty new to your channel but love you’re videos..my first gec was a 94 liberty which is too small to me to carry but have since gotten a bayou trapper and carry it almost everyday..there’s so many patterns I would like to try but like you said the secondary market kills you and I can never get in on drops
I know, right? The secondary market can suck.
Good vid fren!
@slipjoint guy Thanks for stopping by! Hope the move's going okay.
@@TheStreamingEnderman it’s over just trying to figure out what to do next lol
Make a video? That often starts things up again! Try either a Grohmann knife or a Sheffield knife. (Just some ideas!)
Wow i havent whatched you in some time your voice really changed
I suppose so! 😁 Glad you're still sticking around.
I’m almost at the end, but your bit about the Canadian knife makers reminds me, I need a Canadian l knife. I’m going to get one of my cousins on it!
I thought Grohmann shipped to the UK. I suppose I was wrong, as Ian Rosie pointed out. I HIGHLY recommend Grohmann's Slimline in Rosewood. Or, the Stag variation at a higher price. They also have a two-blade version. (Dual clip-points!) Plus, you can buy seconds at 50% off! The seconds just have slight imperfections in the handles.
I’ve only 4 GECs, as I don’t collect GECs, but none are Un-X-Ld. it’s a shame, because I like shiny! Still, I have to keep reminding myself that I don’t collect American knives!
Maybe skip an extra TEW Barlow for a nice White Owl. The Northfields are like Eye Witness' Premier Collection! (Minus the file-work).
I could easily do that, but I know myself too well and I’d have a collection to die for, and a credit card bill to match, by Christmas!
@@slick_slicers Not if you can't find any of them. It took me quite some time to snag this one. Watching Ebay and such. They're REALLY hard to get!
Look on the Apostle P RUclips. Every Thursday night he has a knife sale. There’s usually about 30 knives for sale, and at least half a dozen will be GECs, like new in box, at very reasonable prices (for GEC). Very reliable seller too. I’ve bought at least 7 knives off him, only one GEC!
@@slick_slicers I've seen those! I just never seem to be there on time!
