#35 Beer and Sausage Bar Tool Knife

[Jiki]

It's fun to watch the knife come to fruition with GEC's penchant for teaser pics...it's interesting to read both sides of the coin, and especially for me, the ones who really want this knife...even though I have no use for this release, and have zero interest in getting one, it is an interesting twist on things, and also begs the question, why??? what twist of fate or whimsy made this knife into a production model??? We may never know...looking forward to see the writing on the tube for any hints about that.
You don't have to want to own a particular thing to be curious about it, and why it ticks peoples fancy...fly on the wall.

Well Randy Bell GECs design engineer is in our Facebook group. He collects the first run patterns that he helps design. On Sundays he posts one of his collection and tells us how it came to be. He most certainly will be getting one of these so when he shares the story I will let you know.

They are working on my ebony B&S knife.

Are the 'BS' initials for the knife simply a happy coincidence?

I would hope it’s a happy call back to the BSK as a happy f/u to the BSA.

 

[JohnDF]

That's ok..... you can learn to be handy....

If I was actually good looking, I wouldn't need to be handy.

I'm very happy that I have an ebony on reserve, but the dark jigged bone is already looking amazing!

I mean, the Beer Scout had “BS” etched on the blade.

It blows my mind that so many people claim to hate this knife, yet continue to follow the thread, and most likely will buy the knife...

huh? I thought this thread was about not liking it. Are there two threads?

It's B&S!

Remember the SFO GEC#86 Chocolate Almond peach-seed bone Oil field jack knives. Those scales look exactly the same on the assembly line, before buffing. After buffing those scales will show their true color. (yellow-orangey-red with brown jigging) should be the final color.

Jeez these are looking good. I can't wait to see what the jigged bone looks like. I think the ebony will be the bell of the ball though.

I was right on the money with a Gunstock Jacks Email on the Beer & Sausage #35 Natural Canvas Micarta B&S knife. I click on the knife and I clicked on a OKCA member hat. I already have one , I wanted another OKCA hat. PayPal went through for both, but I aint getting the knife. I emailed Mr. Barry. I got charged for both. I told Mr. Barry I will buy the hat with my next purchase. Mr. Barry is cool and he will straighten it out. I signed out of Pay Pal when I noticed the knife was not available. Pay-pal still charged me for both. I am not mad , I think it is funny. I just knew I had it ! Baw-ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Mr. Barry will make it right. (edit update) While sending a second email to Mr. Barry , I checked my checking account. Pay-Pal returned my money , so I thanked Mr. Barry! Man that was fast. Gunstock Jacks Knives was my first GEC purchase 2018 GEC#44 knives. Mr. Barry is a solid guy ! It was an impulse buy and I missed it . Baw-ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! It was fun , I am happy. You can't win them all.

I’m usually more into stag and bone, but that micarta came out great. I too was a minute too late on Barry’s site

I keep saying I don't want one of these, but gosh darn it I love me some ebony. I may still try to get one just to see if it tickles my fancy once it's in hand. I'm super curious to see how the bone comes out after polishing, too. The jigging on the ones shown in the WIP photos is sure interesting.

I haven't been paying much attention to GEC since the whole 'rona thing. Typically it's more of a winter slowdown time when I tend to get overly excited about new releases, and until a couple weeks ago we've been busy as hell at the shop. Well. Got the Gunstock Jack's email this morning, and while I was too late for that by a few minutes I at least got a kick out of the new 35. I'm kinda thinking the little comb might be handy hiking/camping when the dogs pick up the tiny black burrs that grow near rocky rabbit hidey-holes in southern Colorado... Of course I could just be rationalizing...

 

[Murphjd25]

Man lots of love and hate with this one. I love the ebony and jigged but the natural micarta just screams to be used, and get beer and sausage grease all over it! It will look good with some use!

 

[Camillus]

I am really pleased these look so good. I hope they fetch really high prices. Record breaking prices in fact. They are bound to be super rare and will be hard fought over (rubs hands).

Do I sense sarcasm or are you just lying through your teeth. Ha ha ha ha!!

 

[Camillus]

Well, well maybe a little Its gotta end somewhere though right? Or does it? I won’t be buying one but I will be interested to see how these go on the secondary market.

I have no idea where to look for this data, so, does anyone "in the know" have any indication of how many of each "flavor" will be made?
