2019 GEC Pemberton Thread

We shall see how these look. Frankly I’m a little bummed that these aren’t all going to be clip points. For some reason, I feel coke bottle frames should have clip points.

I was picturing a clip point too, but I don't hate the spear/coping combo. I really like having a curved edge and a straight edge. If my standby for a white bone Pemberton comes through, it'll make up for not getting a #18 Beagle when I had a chance. And it'd make a nice companion to my #14 Lick Creek or #22 Magnum. :)

500 each of the jigged bone and micartas...200 each of the smooth bone and stags. I.e. not many.

I'm sure GEC knows what they are doing with regard to the market, but I find it puzzling that they seem to expect the demand for the huge 4 3/4" #97 Coke Bottle to be almost 5 times that for the little Pemberton.

Apparently it's the customers and the dealers who already created the demand that GEC is trying to meet.

My apologies, I didn't understand your post. I assumed "interest" was a forward looking measurement. I am only saying that GEC is only making what was ordered; so for their part "production" already equals "sales". For my part, the number I ordered is based directly off of commitments. So, my interest was based directly on customer pre-production interest and GEC's production is based directly off of dealers pre-production interest.

Oh, I see. Thanks, I missed that. I guess there's not the risk I was imagining of unsold inventory.
 
I love my coyote, carry it a lot. This wharnie run is gonna be great. I do wish they would put the wharnie on the bigger end and do a so called reverse coke bottle. It will be great either way. Just wish I would have reserved all of the single blades now lol

It seems to be true that the huge order is justified but your point is still a good one. It is amazing that the disparity could be that great between the two knives. Although I did reserve a #97.
 
Would anyone be able to tell me if the pemberton has half stops?

While I prefer half stops, it's far from the primary criteria from which I choose a knife.

Also, I'm very glad blue seems confirmed now, and that the shield for the 2 blade version is TBD.

EDIT: I think I just found that they do have half stops.

I just hope the pull isn't too stout for a little knife.

I'll have to check to compare it to a 14, I have a single blade 06 from the first run. I don't carry it, but seem to recall it being a little strong for a small knife.

I thought I had a two blade but I believe my son has absconded with it :D
 
Well, White Bone is always right :cool:

But, that Wharncliffe will be a tiddler...same size blade and frame as the Coyote I have, never used, too small:thumbsdown:
 
GEC does like to try not to repeat themselves. For example that last run of 14’s were all clip points the first run of 14’s were spears. The last run of Wallstreets were with wharncliffe blades. The first run of Wallstreets had clip points. So I guess we shouldn’t be surprised these won’t be clip points.

Does anybody here have any Photoshopping skills? It would be nice to see what the wharncliffe and spear main blades will look like on the Pemberton frame.

You might want to ask Darren in the linked thread below. I'll bet he could fix you right up.

Just look at post #19 in this thread.
 
The concept of putting a blade other than a clip point on a coke bottle pattern was a little bit shocking to me when I saw the new Production Schedule the other day. So I did a search and found this little long pull spear version. Looks pretty good to me. I think this pattern can handle these two new blade types.37F24570-18E6-4B9B-8F4E-9BC9984FAA41.jpeg
Now if we could get GEC to replicate this jigging.
 
Oddly enough, it was my quest to find a traditional knife with a coke bottle frame and spear blade that led to my first post here (the post was about a CRKT Quill). I ended up with an S&M coke bottle with spear blade and it looked great...very symmetrical. I expect these will look good too.
