2022 GEC #36 ElephantToenail/Elephant Toe/Sunfish Thread

[Alex.Y.]

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

If it's a leather on bull's back, then maybe a 35 Harness Jack?

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

Heres the exotic india from a 23 SFO for franks. No clue what the india smooth means.

Probably means no ridges?

Could be, maybe they just did all the bone the same color to save time/costs?

But it still has the word "ivory" in it, though

I'm guessing this would more resemble the exotic India jigged bone run but what India smooth ivory means is anyone's guess. Probably have to wait for production picture updates. I was really hoping for a smooth white Ivory look.

Will these work for ingrown nails? Asking for a friend.

Yea if you just want to lop the whole toe off.

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.

The GEC thread answered my question about the alligator: The #88 coming up!

I’m glad they went with the single blade sheepsfoot on these. Seems a bit more practical for such a preposterous knife. They look pretty nice IMO.

Great Eastern Cutlery Distributors is probably the best place to start or I’m sure one will show up in the exchange eventually.

Me too, I’ve never seen a elephant toe/sunfish pattern with a sheep foot.

Hmmm... I'll be interested to see if the "jigged" is a different, more interesting style, but I think its Ebony for me. That bone is kind of blah to me.

Which bone are you referring to?? Please share a pic, thanks

India Smooth White Bone is coming along nicely

 

[tmd_87]

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

My thoughts too John. Interesting knife.

I'm just wondering if the Exotic "Jigged" India bone will be a different jigging than the SFO from Frank's referenced above.
I'm not in love with that style of pseudo stag jigging and prefer a more pattern based version.
