Brass is back on the menu... GEC #44

[knifeswapper]

So, if those are only the top bolsters, the math says they're planning for 920 each of the two brass versions. That's a substantially bigger run than I was expecting.

Those are the highest two demanded versions, by far. I was a bit surprised at how LOW the production count was on them. There are actually probably quite a bit more of the bone than the wood.

Very interesting to know. Thanks for the info.

Reserved a Tidioute in the goldenrod bone. This will be my first GEC knife (unless I pick one up before then.) I'm pretty excited about it. I've always loved the look of the gunstock pattern. Right up there with a coke bottle imo.

There's pics of the ebony on the website at gec, gonna be sooooo awesome, getting excited!!

One thing that GEC could've done to make this even cooler - offer it in walnut.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

If they used circassian or french walnut, maybe, but the walnut GEC used in the past that I have seen was very plain.

4 inches is a big slip joint. I think thats size of a case Trapper. Kinda heavy for jeans pocket.

A trapper is PERFECT for jeans.

This will be my first gunstock pattern knife. Not only am I excited to get one, I really wanna test this pattern out to see if it's something I would carry.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but will all brass versions have a bullet shield?

Yes, they will. In fact, only the brass versions will have the bullet shield.

Here is a picture from GEC’s website of the options.

I wish they all had the bullet instead of the hotdog. A federal would have been nice too.

Why does everybody hate the hotdog shield?
This will be my first hotdog and I'm excited to finally be getting one. I think they are classy and clean looking.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

I don’t think it’s hate, the hotdog is common and the bullet shield is rare on a GEC.

This one is my lone reserve on this pattern. Gotta admit...it looks fantastic!

 

[JohnDF]

Buffalo is on the menu...

 

[GE Jr]

I like how they came out vs the preview. Nicer, cleaner look w/o that 4th (top) pin.
Just IMO, of course.

 

[MCar]

Love that PPP on the pen rather than pile side of the main. Cool.

Sweet looking ebony 44. Can't wait to see the brass cocobolo.
