I’ve got the sucker rod and autumn bone reserved I’ll probably try to get the others depending on how fast they come out and how fast my wallet refills, I think this will be a great pattern, just the right size. A micarta wrench would be my next one for sure.

I prefer the abstract shields over actual objects like a wrench or a boot, but it is nice GEC is flexible enough to offer wrenches and boots, etc for people who like them.
Not a huge fan of how the oily creek looks a lot of the time but that would be interesting.

Birdies...

What source is it that whispers in your ear?
Whatever it is, the pass along of info is much appreciated!

There is an employee that drops hints here and there. I just try and figure them out.

I was not a big fan of the shield when I first saw it. The more I look at it, the more it is growing on me. I am sure that once I get it in hand, it will be even better.

Growing up swinging a hammer and twisting wrenches and with this knife being a good working size knife I like it alot. Though I dont swing hammers or twist wrenches anymore this knife is cool reminder of sorts. Hopefully I can get my hands on one when they are available

The wrench is going to be a holiday gift for a family member who types on a keyboard all day and rebuilds and shows classic autos on the weekends. I'm so excited to wrap this one up!

Oh man, thanks! Which member of my family are you? (Cause you close to described me lol!). Seriously though, I don’t type on a keyboard that much, and I don’t do as many cars as I’d like.... but I graciously accept anyway....

Sweating it out for a Forum #86 left over. Those Charlie #86s will be super nice too. I have an #86 Oily creek bone pre-order. I would love to buy an Oil Sucker Rod Wood #86 and purchase a "WHO CUT ONE T-SHIRT ?" with that dealer. 500 knives on each , I am sure some will be around a couple months. I ordered a custom fixed blade knife , right in the middle on this wonderful run. I can't wait for the next schedule , before I make any major decisions. (Forum knife paid for and on the way soon !) I sent an email to a GEC dealer asking about the Charlie #86 knife. I want to end up with at least 3 different #86s. I might have 5 #86 Oil jacks by January 1st. "GEC KNIFE COLLECTING IS WAR !"

This is one of the very few runs that GEC has done where I am far more interested in the SFOs than any of the general production examples (aside from the Stag). Which means there are no guarantees except for the Forum knife at this point.

It is a very clean looking package.
That said, I don't regret not putting my name on one of these. It is pretty drab and though I know GEC's reasoning behind the brushed finish on bolsters and such, I feel it was a missed opportunity not dressing the knife up a bit with some polish. I think those covers would be greatly enhanced with some shine on the bolsters. No doubt, it will make a rather terrific user though.
That particular configuration is not my cup of tea but I am glad that it appeals to others.
