2020 GEC #62 Easy Pocket Congress and Pocket Carver Thread

[Elgatodeacero]

But, but, but the mock up drawings have a crown shield that says pocket carver?!

how will I know which 62 in the shoe box is my pocket carver if it doesn’t say pocket carver.

This is very sad news if true.

Ya, I heard that's true too, due to grinding/buffing/polishing. Weird thing to include on the mock up drawings, since all Pocket Carvers are smooth.

Another day another SFO picture. I am calling blue camel tomorrow

Hurts to miss that one...

Smooth knives will have smooth shields. So no writing.

Boo.

ive had it up to HERE with these misleading computer generated pre-production renderings!!! Without a badge to proudly state pocket carver it will end up with some practical moniker. Like my #93 curvy hotdog knife, or my #92 spear “melty clocks” knife... or my #35 Double Ended Horse Pill knife.

Swing and a miss, maybe tomorrow.

Been lurking a while on this thread.
Been on the fence but decided to give this little guy a try.
Why you say ? Exclusive from one of my favorite dealers DLT
Maple leaf shield
Maroon linen Micarta
And pocket friendly so they say
Just pulled the trigger and will share my thoughts when it arrives
Was going to wait for the snakewood but thought I’d get my feet wet a little and see if I like this pattern.

One of my earliest GECs a 2007 or 8 is a Beaver Pond 73 with very nice Ivory Smooth Bone and fully stamped Tidioute shield, so they can do it and on White Bone

Just got my unicorn. This is a much nicer knife than I expected! Very slim, but enough heft in the hand to give a confident grip. The EO notch on the pen side is a very nice touch. I’m impressed.

That’s a classy group of Smoothies Will!

Well, there you go

Personally I find it refreshing to be able to take my time and be picky as to which GEC knife I want to buy. I reserved the red bone and unicorn ivory because I knew I would like those. Now that I have time to reflect and ponder on the other handle materials, I’ll probably get a couple more...likely a stag and maybe an ironwood. Need to see them first. I also love the 62 frame and have several from the first run.

Are some banana bones getting rectangle shield and some a nanner?

Barnana?

 

[Matt_WY]

Interesting, that will please a few, but if I'm committing to banana, I'm going full in and want the banana shield

Maybe they decided some of those didn’t look banana-y enough?

 

[Babalu32]

I'd happily switch to bar shield

Missed it by 24 hrs. Seeing pics of carvers inprocess, still holding to my 2-3 week prediction.

Those blue camels are borderline gorgeous!! Just when you think you're out.... they pull you back in....
