Lets talk GEC!

[gaj999]

I think youre right...reading back through his comments he does specify the rams foot will be different. I misunderstood what Chris told me at the show...and stand corrected!

Well ... crap. I was hoping to get a lambsfoot 93. I guess it ain't over yet, but the odds just went way down.

It's been 9 years since we've seen the 89 Executive Whittler

8 years since the 62 Courthouse Whittler

6 years since the 33 Conductor Whittler

We need a revival, Brother Bill!

If GEC could still make Courthouse Whittlers as nice as that green one, I'd be in for a few.

^^^ Amen! More Geppetto Whittlers, too!!

 

[black mamba]

8 years and counting (and probably never again!) These sat on shelves longer than any other GEC ever made.


And they way things usually turn out, it will eventually be the most valuable GEC of all!

I sure hope not, my wife collects also and has bought the Rendezvous knife when it appeals to her. We each have one of last years Whalers and we don't flip knives.

If I know anything about GEC, it's that they're not afraid to make exceptions. I don't think that they made this rule for you and your wife.

Anyone else ever notice that there are two different cap lifter designs on GECs? The bottom one is older.
Just thought it was interesting.

I talked with someone at GEC about the caplifter. I might be misremembering, but I thought it was said that they designed one of them for the #98 Texas Camp Knife.

That's a whole lotta straight edges in one knife...

The Texas Camp knife has a cool combo opener.

The Texas Camp knife has a cool combo opener.

That's what I was thinking of. It has half stops, but rounded corners instead of full square. I really like that combo tool.

It's a great tool. I love that it both opens cans and lifts caps, so it combines two tools into one, allowing for the sheepsfoot secondary. And what a sheepsfoot it is.

I agree, and I like both straight edges and cigar patterns ...

Oh man I would love to see another run of these...what a cool pattern

It wouldn't take much to configure the up coming 29 pattern like this. (Says the guy who has never made a knife in his life )

 

[Will Power]

I really like it when people reminisce about patterns that GEC keep firmly locked away, we've all got ones we need to see again.

I have a pretty fair collection of 68 White Owls but for some insane reason I never bought one in Spear We all have idiocies we regret But I'd love to get hold of a Spear White Owl, any scales...

 

[waverave]

Was able to grab a small set of these...perfectly designed to prevent mistreatment from my wife, bless her heart

Coincidentally, I've admired that particular model for a long time, since the knife and I have the same birthday anniversary date!

It feels almost as though whittlers are a one-time deal on each frame. I'm not saying that's truth, it just seems like that to me. I'm with you all, though. I'd love to see several come back!

Does anyone have any info on the recently finished, I believe, F&F 65 fish knife. I thought I saw some pics a little while ago and I read about woodland muslin micarta, anyone ever seen it? Thanks in advance

The #65 fish knife and the #47 (and probably that #72 hoof pick) that were in the production photos will most likely be available only at the upcoming GEC Rendezvous. Although I hope they change their mind
