...And a large Coke. GEC 97 Thread!

Received my Maroon Micarta version today and it is nice, the pull is 6ish and it is not quite as big as I was afraid it was going to be after looking at some of the comparison pics in this thread. It does fit into the slip that was provided but I am still wondering how it is going to print in my front pocket. I normally carry large modern knives, ZT's/CRK/MT etc., but they all have clips and are somewhat hidden by my untucked shirt tail. Oh well, we shall see...may turn out to be a weekend only carry.
 
I have had mine in my rfp since mine arrived.
It doesn't print at all.
I use a couple safety pins to form a vertical sheath in the pocket.

This knife is no bigger than my Case Panama trapper. Carries easy.

Could this be a regular production Northfield #97 or is it some kind of SFO?

Sure looks nice! :thumbsup:

Well , it does have the Northfield Blade and Bolster and it does look pretty nice . It will be interesting to find out whose run it is .

Hello Harry

It is a nice looking knife. Mike @knifeswapper posted it was likely part of the Oregon Knife Club run.

Makes me want to drive a bit north by northwest!

Have a great evening.

It seemed to me he was saying it was possibly "overrun" of the knife club knives? As if to say they might be available to others? Did I read that wrong?

The Oregon Club Knife does not have the Nail Nick and Long Pull Blade in it , nor does it have the Lined Bolsters either . I am more inclined to believe that they are the blades made for a Possible Stag handled run .

Harry,

Great minds think alike!

That's my hope as well. One can dream and keep an eye peeled at the same time. :D

Yikes! Looks like I stand corrected -- Just found these two pictures on the GEC blog :eek:

Looks like @knifeswapper hit the nail right on the head :D

I still can’t get around the double pulls. It looks ok closed but when the knife is open it ruins the lines for me.
That said, I’m a big fan of that spear shield and the jigging looks great so I may need to reconsider.
Compare that to the bone Tidioute I have on order. It looks like my 5 year old ran the handles through his Play-doh machine.

I don't like the double pulls either. I wanted an ebony tidioute and they didn't make them but these bone tidioutes look very nice. I like the wide and smooth jig, it has the "old" gec look to it. At least, that's my perception.

Darren,

I've seen them pointing both ways on several different knives over the years.

Sometimes the beaver is helping cut and sometimes he's on his back :confused::p

Don't know of any real rhyme or reason though :confused: bit of a dark hole?

Reminds me of the dog painting in "Goodfellas" :p
