Doh! Looks like they just added some photosQuite possible. Or Rendezvous Knives.
They do seem to be coming along on the acrylic and osage 29s though.

Looks like the “butter” color on the acrylics is the brass liners showing the clear parts of the acrylic. Very clever.Doh! Looks like they just added some photos
Ok, that's pretty darn cool. The regret I had reserving this one just went away.Looks like the “butter” color on the acrylics is the brass liners showing the clear parts of the acrylic. Very clever.
It is cool that they did that, but I don’t like how it looks, and my regret for not reserving one just went away, when it looked like they forgot the butter and it was going to be just black and white I was a little bummed. That really is neat though if it’s just clear down to the liners.Ok, that's pretty darn cool. The regret I had reserving this one just went away.
Better yet Ryan. Throw a full length wharny in the 38 frame. Bill said the grinling spitback was too much work, so I propose a single spring with an offset ground (think of the main blade on the tk cuban pen from 2013) but in the wharny shape, then on the opposite end have a pen or the perfect little clip that they put on the 57 geppetto whittler. No split spring to make it compicated and one heck of an edc pattern.Quite possible. Or Rendezvous Knives.

Anybody knows what un-x-ld stands for ?
I knew it would make perfect sense ! TYUnexcelled
I've always felt the 59 would make a great wharncliffe whittler

Just sayin and just my opinion and we know what opinions are like.

Your fellow pocket knife friends gave you the fast answer, but it might interest you to know Northfield was a cutlerer here in CT from 1858 to 1926, and Un-X-ld was a branding thing they were known for. GEC keeps the legendary name alive with some excellent effort on the Northfield trim.
Often the Northfield embellishments are too much for me with overly ornate bolsters- the pinched bolsters in the #12’s killed my desire for the beautiful Northfield options. In my opinion not every blade looks best with a long pull and cut swedge either... and then of course it’s even harder to sully the beautiful mirror finish on the blades. Consequently I own 5 Tidioute trim GECs and only the Cocobolo #93 Northfield.
I was hoping those were going to look like the old Schrade butter and molasses covers.
What you're describing is pretty much the Northwoods Willamette Whittler, which is probably my favorite knife. They're hard to come by, though. Would love to see something like that made again under the house brands.Better yet Ryan. Throw a full length wharny in the 38 frame.

That ain't no lie. I just looked it up too.After looking up the Schrade butter and molasses covers I can see why this would be disappointing.
