2025 Eureka Jack thread

I figured might as well get one going.

 

[GPO MAN]

Excited about this one and the SFOs.

When the cover is “jigged bone” without any adjectives, what does it look like? Thanks

 

[black mamba]

I believe it means it is still undetermined.

What are the SFOs?

I hope to add to these two. Either the ivory white linen or white oiled bone.

 

[Murphjd25]

I’m hoping it’s a nicely colored jigged bone!

Positivity giddy over here….

Well, I'm hoping to get a nice Stag 92!! I'm watching with interest!!

I NEED one of those oiled bone ones bad but I'm so far out of the loop on buying new gec knives I'm afraid im not fast enough, but that's a fine looker and even has correct blade placement.

 

[Travman]

I think it looks very classy. Now i really want to see the jigged bone Tidioute version.

Fingers and toes crossed for you Charlie .

I “only” have this SFO from ‘19. It’s a home run for me and consistently jostles for top spot in my collection, the pattern that is.
But to some the coping is on the wrong side! So i definitely NEED one of this year’s run, to compare, for reasons, important scientific reasons ….

 

[Halfneck]

Probably one of my favorite patterns by GEC. Wish they'd offer some bare-headed too.

 

[Digger Stubble]

Did GEC change the position of the blades on this run? Looks like the main sits behind the secondary (from the right hand pov)?

 

[Murphjd25]

Look like they did.

 

[Digger Stubble]

Any guess or opinions why they did it? Maybe more comfortable for the lefties (which would be reason enough)? But for me as a right handed user, it always feels better with the main blade first (like on the old run)

 

[mrknife]

i swear they switch the orientation every run

 

[Honest_Thomas]

Pretty sure pre ‘19s were secondary in front?? As in this run.

 

[Digger Stubble]

Thanks for the hints mrknife and H Honest_Thomas . I just checked GEC's knife releases site.
Eureka Jacks of 2013 had the small blade in front, in 2019 it was the other way around. And now (and again six years later) in 2025 they changed it back again.
