2024 GEC 811224

[waynorth]

You got a nice one Charlie, a lot of the ironwoods I've seen this run have been fairly plain. I've got one on the way luck of the draw, will see what shows up.

Much nicer than my #32!!

 

[Johnnythefox]

It's just an early one, Johnny!! GEC made a run of them!! I don't know how many!!

I though it was just one Bill had made for himself.

Its very nice I love the old Ironwood,looks great.

For those of you who missed out on a Boss Bull Keeper…. Keep an eye on the traditional forum the next couple of weeks.

Loving the purple, possibly my favorite of the run.

An excellent example you've gotten, love those covers! Here's hoping mine is as fine. Just when I thought Bill couldn't make me buy another knife...

 

[Augie]

Desert ironwood 81 showed up today, I think I did OK in the wood luck of the draw.

Yeah, I guess, it’s passable. But you know, I’d be happy to take it off your hands if you find you just can’t gel with a gal that plain.



…in all seriousness, gorgeous knife, I love that knot. May be less than ideal for structural support but sure is pretty in a knife handle!

 

[Squidman24]

Can’t wait to receive the three that I ordered (Violet Bone, Micarta & Ironwood). Now to keep an eye on the exchange for a City Stock as well!

 

[Elgatodeacero]

Here is my violet - very refined and exclusive looking. I feel like I should buy a new suit to go with this knife. May have to go fishing for second purple.

 

[Enactive]

I agree that the violet is the most regal of the run. I can't pick a favorite between the City Stock, streaked ebony, and violet bone. They are all so nice, each in their own way.

Traded my subtly Streaked Ebony for this more blatant one; of course I like it better!!

That's a beauty !

I'm kind of regretting not going for one of these.

 

[Bjohn044]

Not much of a streak on this one. The pile side is uniformly dark. I really like it though!

 

[mrknife]

really digging the clip profile on these, very reminiscent of the 48 big clip

 

[JW225]

DI version has arrived -- I'm very pleased with this one...

 

[mrknife]

very cool! turns out Randy said this was a brand new clip design made for the run

Don't know if this is too far off topic for the thread. But, I'm honestly a little surprised we didn't get a 3 blade stockman out of the 81s. I know they had the single blade 39s on the production schedule for a while before they added the 2 bladed versions. Thought they might do the same here with a 3 bladed version being added to the production schedule late in the cycle.

That is cool. GEC has produced so many different cool clips point blades of various shapes and sizes, but always well proportioned.

I had a similar thought that we might see a 3 blade 81 stockman in this run. I'm quite happy with the 2 blade versions, but a 3 blade 81 would be nice.... especially if it had a punch, sheepfoot and clip main.
