2022 GEC #36 ElephantToenail/Elephant Toe/Sunfish Thread

Hmmm... Much better than I thought.
I don't want one but I do kinda like it.

I thought the same thing. Now I can't stop wondering how good of a box cutter it would make.

I was really hoping for a spearpoint on this pattern. Not sure how I feel about the sheepsfoot, or the elephant shield for that matter.

 

[Bluemantra]

Love the blade! Didn't want this initially, but now I do!

What does the change mean for smooth ivory bone? Maybe the dye turned out a little darker than they expected

 

[euroken]

That elephant shield...wow

 

[Matt_WY]

I was envisioning more of a traditional elephant toe, but this one has growing on me quickly...even the elephant shield.

Huh. When I first saw that this morning, the change asterisk was by the jigged bone, seem to have moved it in the last hour.

I feel like the 1 bolsters makes it look more like a toe ha!

I am generally a fan of more traditional shield variants but I don't hate the elephant shield. GEC has a history of applying interesting shields on these broad knives - wrenches, pipe wrenches, and saws on the 45s and a big ol' whale on the 46 (which was a Rendezvous knife if memory serves).

It's nice to see GEC doing something tastefully unique - though I am a bit more weirded out by the bareheaded configuration.

Any thoughts on the alligator and the bull/steer?

So I'm not personally a big fan of the Ebony wood look and that doesn't change my mind at all, but that elephant shield I like!

From the get go the India Jigged Bone is the one that I'm interested in so I'm anxious to see how they are going to look.

Wish that they had used the pipe Wrench shield on the oil field jacks. Not too often do I use an open-end wrench in this business. Maybe they need more room on the cover do to its size? I do like the elephant shield though

I wonder if the Bull means Cattle knife?? I hope so!!
Maybe the 'gator means Bills going back to the good ole days of thunderous "snap"!!!

Thats what Im hoping for. For some reason I seem to remember some rumblings last year about a 35 cattle knife in the works?

Be still my heart!!

Personally, I like dark ebony and I've always been fascinating with these XXL knives. I'm not sure about the sheepfoot but I will definitely try luck.

I've seen that face before......

 

[Jon0385]

I shall call my 36 Lucy if I am so lucky to get one

I think waynorth may be onto something there. I think the bull/steer may have a cloak over its back, could be a cattle baron pattern with lots of snap like a gator.

Can someone give me the rundown on what India Smooth and Exotic India even mean, lol?
