Feel free to post previous run’s of the #36 sunfish/elephant toe’s… knife pics are always welcome.

Really love the cover options! Not my style of blade so i'll pass on them but can't wait to see what they will looks like!

 

[Matt_WY]

Nice! Excited for this run, especially with the ebony and smooth ivory bone handle material. The exotic india jigged bone is an interesting selection, could turn out similar to Case bone stag?

 

[Elgatodeacero]

These look much more practical than the 46 pattern - probably need to get an ebony.

Yes, great cover options. Keyhole, Spear, or Houndtooth shields would be nice to see on this pattern.

I would like to try one. I had a 46 years ago but couldn’t open the secondary blade so I let it go. BTW you “fishin” are the perfect guy to start this thread (or bbfish ).

Sometimes I think the secondary on my 46 is welded shut! Fingers crossed these are single blade spears!

oh. oh oh oh.

my bank account looks like the nirvana tee shirt smiley face already.

What's it going to look like when this blade gets out?

Although I am probably in the minority, I hope this is a 2 blade pen style like the 46, mine started difficult, but, after some oiling and work opens satisfactorily. Love me some Pen patterns

For reference, this was the latest “exotic India bone” produced by GEC on the 23 pattern.

This is gonna be epic! Havent dropped a fatty in a minute!

 

[afishhunter]

I love the pattern, but think I'm going to pass. I can't afford one, and it will probably sell out in under two or three minutes.

 

[JOELSM]

Been waiting on a new run of 36 since 2011.

That stamped blade on the 2011 run was epic.

Fixed that for ya'

The 36 is one of the patterns that started my interest in GEC but I never had one. I really, really, really hope to land one of these.

 

[Hammer67]

Glad to hear there's going to be a new run of these. Here's my #36 EO from the 2012 run:

Great, now I'm going to have to brave the lolly scramble. It hasn't really affected me since my only GECs in the last five years or so have been the Whaler and the forum knives, but I love a well made Elephant's Toe. I'll have to at least try.

 

[Hyesouljah]

Very interesting cover options. Looking forward to seeing some pictures

You can't go wrong with ebony and smooth ivory bone - a couple of excellent classics right there. I do not have any experience with the 36 pattern, though I did have a 46 at one point in time. That knife was ridiculously difficult to open and this is coming from someone who has strong fingers and nails. As such, I moved it along, though I wish I hadn't - it was a beautiful knife and I might have warmed to it over time.

I am looking forward to discovering the blade configuration and shield choices on these - they make for a sizable canvas and therefore should be rather striking.
