2019 GEC Pemberton Thread

[waverave]

And I estimate there are ~450 tubes sitting on that table (12x15 plus 9x11 plus 5x11 plus 8x14 plus the 4 stragglers)...lot more than I thought would be made. I suppose if that is both colors together that would make sense ~225 each (based on availability I saw at various dealers).

Great picture... It's all about perspective.

I’m surprised at how much I like this little knife — wasn’t sure I would after the clip 14s didn’t scratch the itch for me. Smooth bone was sweet, so I also have a stag on the way too!

Interested to see some of those Templars in hand, not sure if I like the look of them but I’m looking forward to seeing everyone else’s!

This run has been surprisingly popular...with good reason.

In only 24 Hours this Pemberton has proven to be a great little knife. Tiny in the watch pocket but big enough in hand.

Just passed on a Templar....I was just wondering if I would ever carry this weird lil guy.

I passed too. I wanted one for my son, but not at that price. A tiny plastic-sided knife should not cost more than a Bull Nose.

My same exact thought process. I was thinking about it for my son as well. Then I said to myself he has too many haha

Got my stag yesterday, excellent F&F, walk & talk. Will post a few pics with my Tomato 2013 shortly.
Had $19 in 'bonus bucks' so I just ordered a 'crusades' templar.

Something about the Templar that I can't get excited about. Teriffic surprise for those that like it!

But, but, but, it’s a blood red knife with the Templar branding called crusader acrylic. I was never a huge fan of the Templar construction and think it’ll be too small but the look and name of this knife couldn’t be more perfect. So worth the price.

Yeah, I think you and I are thinking the same thing. A weird looking knife that is likely way too small but it sucked me in with the "Crusader Acrylic". One is on its way and it will cap off this run of Pembertons rather nicely for me.


Got my 06 in Stag today and I am quite pleased. The Stag is on the thicker side and it nestles so very nicely in the hand.

Nice ones, I like the blue jogged in particular and was on the fence about that one, the Templar bolsters and that handle shape really go together well. I won’t be getting mine till next week and can’t wait to see some pics. Looks like that cigar is in line with the Templar styling as well, nice.

I agree, they are very cool knives and I love the uniqueness of them. They are my son's absolute favorites and all the Templar knives I buy go straight to him. I just know that if I'm patient, one will show up on the secondary for a way better price. Some GEC knives go way up in value, these seem to do the opposite (eventually).

I keep buying them and selling them because of the size but this one just might make the cut. After all, it is stag.

OK, out in the snow(I put a little piece of saran wrap under them), the sun didn't last long. 26F, windchill 14, snow storm coming tonight! Plus I had to fend off one of the cats...they do look like delicious little morsels.
