I hope they haven't forgotten the sheath. I want my Leather Outhouse!

My guess is they had some other design in the works, but then they saw my mock-up, scrapped their original idea and started from scratch. 😉🤔🤣

Here’s the mock-up I originally posted in the Let’s Talk GEC thread. I suppose it belongs in this thread, too. 😁

PointyThings PointyThings was kind enough give the stamp a more realistic look.

Emergency pouch for the serious environmentalist camper who doesn’t want to leave too much of a carbon footprint.
 
I had to go hunting for this thread - 'twas at the bottom of Page #4, tsk, tsk. I am a bit late to the party but I still arrived all the same.

This arrived today and despite being one of the most expensive GEC knives that I've paid retail pricing for (such is the cost of inflation and all the other factors), it's a fine knife and one I had begun to feel I would regret if I let it pass me by.

Like the Cattle Knife, I am fond of the steel construction and though I do wish they had included a punch on this one, all the blades/tools here are plenty useful. I was pretty apathetic with regards to the Texdel covers but I do have to say that they are nicer in person than one might otherwise assume. It's still just plastic but the covers are finished very well and they certainly give an impression of being quite robust.

Of course, one of the very first things that I did was use the can opener - I can very much attest to that it works quite fine. (Now I have to do something with these olives....)

I was right there in line with the others in my criticism for the lack of bail on these and though I do miss it on this knife, I can grudgingly acknowledge that it pockets a lot better than these other camp knives.

In conclusion, it's another fine (albeit expensive) effort from GEC. Both the Cattle and Camp Knives are winners and further demonstrate the sheer versatility of the #35 frame - I will look forward to what GEC decides do with it in the future.

I contacted GEC and the slips for Johnny will be available in a couple of weeks! 🎉

That's good news. I'm presuming (perhaps incorrectly!) that these slips will follow the format for the Beer & Sausage and Urban Jack slips where it's a standard leather slip with a coin with the shield's design on it, suspended on a cord. I'll be in for one!

Totally agree - my guess is the "charm" will be the lightning bolt shield like the knife
