You might be thinking of Monica and Rachel.And if I remember correctly, they both also carried a couple of spearpoints....

It's almost as bad as Ford v. Chevy, or Ginger v. Maryann!

I would say the pull is on the lighter side, 5-6. I just prefer to be able to pinch open the blade.I haven't had the pleasure of experiencing the lauded #92, I keep hoping that GEC will do another run of them.
How are the pulls on these, the nail nick on your looks to be further from the tip than I would care to use if the pull was on the stouter side? I could see the desire for an EO notch if that were the case.
Personally, EO notches are not very aesthetically pleasing to me and though I've warmed a bit to it on the #85, it still feels awkward in the hand.
That’s not going to work! It would be much more shallow and blend in with smooth curves. I’ll think I’ll leave it well enough alone. It’s a beautiful knife as is.I don't mind the way they look on a swell end Jack.
It's your knife, of course, but here's my crude Paint mock-up. Let's just say I don't think it's a good look.
If we're choosing two from that list, can I have Ginger and Maryann?
Maryann is kind of like a Galaxy 500 while Ginger is more akin to an LS6 Chevelle.
I have been begging GEC to make a "BEER DEPLORABLE" #29 knife. Take off that stupid punch and add a beer cap opener. As soon as I spotted the new name "Stockyard Whittler" , I just know this run is going to be a loser. I did pre-order a "Snakewood #29". All I see is bloodwood on their web-sight for the Northfield #29. I hate bait and switch. I won't buy any ,if they do that. GEC should of made some more Rams foot #93s with that bloodwood. Rendezvous is coming soon , so don't expect the knives to come in on time. I learned that last year with the #44s.My real purpose in these knife design discussions is to scratch the itch so I don’t run out and buy more GEC. I love the variation in the product they’ve been making- it makes a guy wonder about the perfect combo and pros and cons in knife design.
No one ever got back to me about drilling wood with the punch. Now I’m even more curious that they’ve named the #29 the stockyard Whittler. Anyone ever make some holes with one of GECs punches?

Just so you guys know. And both probably run and look about as well as any Dodge.
If you want a bottle opener, you can buy a Scout, or Radio Jack, or just buy a Victorinox SAK.

"Stockyard Whittler" makes perfect sense to me. A combination of Stockman Knife and Whittler.
EngrSorenson If you’re worried about any of this, you’re doing it wrong. The punch makes it tactical anyway. Ha
I get where you're coming from. I think this will be a great little knife, but I admit: If I had my 'druthers it would be a two spring classic whittler.Now that you say that I guess I understand where the name could come from. Either way it’s referencing what are two different 2 spring 3 blade (typically) combos. I wonder if someone will be caught unaware when they buy one and get a three spring. Two spring / split back whittlers are much harder to make so I kind of feel like they should get the honorary title “Whittler”, but that’s just personal preference.
