What traditional pattern would you say this 74 mustang is styled after?
I agree, like a Sunday going to meeting Sodbuster.It seems similar to a sodbuster in my opinion.
I don't mind 200 pieces per choice. I would like to see 8 different choices instead of 4. 1600 total pieces of the #74 Mustang run ! I am still not giving up on a Saddle Trapper run. "THINGS TO PONDER ??"CLUE: The horse painting had an empty saddle. Saddle Trapper was the first thing that come to mind , not a "Mustang" run. GEC has not produced a new model this year and time is running out. After the "Little Rattler" run is finished up , maybe an 800 total pieces of #74 Saddle Trappers will be made ????(theoretically) OK, we are scheduling a new re-run of an old pattern - how many would you make total?

2020 has been an absolute disaster on companies. I feel lucky to even have knives available and money to purchase some.
GEC can and will continue to do what they want, not what we want. It's curious that folks get so indignant about it.
Great points Mike! I’ve tried to not complain on here since I posted a rant about the last 33 run. I’ve even considered ending my collecting of GEC’s.
I think it’s a major case of “you want what you can’t have”. People get hyped up on social media with pics and videos of these knives and then BAM! They find out a knife drop is gone in 3 minutes.
They don’t want a pattern that’s been sitting on the shelf......they want the HOT pattern people are talking about.
I'm surprised at the response these are getting, I just remember when the 43 came out in 2018 they didn't seem quite as popular, which I suppose the smaller run combined with the smaller more pocket friendly size might be the reason, but still. Anyone got a picture of a 74 vs a 43? I can't remember the measurements off the top of my head, what is it 4 1/4 and 3 7/8 ?
How about the two GEC#06 Templar #061119 in Caribbean Acrylic & Crusader acrylic ? Those two knives were a complete surprise and they were never announce on the #06 Templar schedule. No Templar Schedule was ever posted. Beside those , you are correct. 2020 is a whacky year , anything can happen.OK, so you would like closer to one full month per pattern? I would argue that more choice is just of nominal assistance to those wanted more opportunity to score ONE knife. As many will buy them all, whether two or four.
As to the rest of your post - I think you have a much more "vivid" imagination than the factory does. How many times in the past 5 years have they had a completely un-announced pattern?
