Let's get this party started! 🥳 I think the City Stock stole the thunder (rightfully so) but this knife deserves it's own thread, so post 'em up.

Good idea! I was just thinking that we didn't have anything going for all of the other 81's outside of Charlie's beauty. 👍
 
This model has a great build; single spring with liner/spacer, catch bit, and fantastic walk and talk! The frame, the blade configuration and the whole package is awesome. I like the nod to Queen on this version with the winterbottom jigging and the script etch with the dots over the capital letter. Cool!

Looks great Barry!
 
I agree that the City Stock stole the thunder, especially being released first. I got a Waynorth and it is exquisite. Yet i couldn't restrain myself and went with my original program. I bought an ebony and violet bone. The ebony just arrived and is fantastic! The purple i will get later in the week.

I hope other folks enjoy theirs. After years of being mostly a jack knife guy, i've been on a single spring two blade knife kick since the Forum Knife last year. I love the 34, 32 and 81 all with the single spring and two blades.

Is it a two-blade stockman? Jumbo pen knife? Serpentine? Equal-end jack knife? Something else?

My brain wants to say serpentine, but in hand it FEELS like a stockman to me.

Thoughts?

That pattern is called a serpentine moose....and it was a moose in a previous iteration from GEC also..... A moose pattern by definition has a clip on one end and a spey on the other and is almost always built on the same frame as a stockman, the Case 6275 for example.
 
GEC probably sorted the black and streaked Gabon Ebony handles and dealers are selling them separately as Gabon Ebony and Streaked Gabon Ebony.
I think the streaked version will be quite unique and probably a smaller number of these knives were made. What do you think?
