BladeForums 2024 Traditional Knife

[SteveC]

I was opening and closing my 2024 BF club knife yesterday evening - as good a W&T as any pocketknife I own. It took GEC a long time to get their W&T consistently "just right" (several of my early ones were too light or were nail breakers) but not anymore. OH

You must not have gotten one of the recent 77's

I know many have complained about the price. I look at a lot of these single blade GECs going for $180 and 3 blades like the fork beard combo going for over $200. Feels like all GECs are climbing in price and $250 for a premium stockman? A bargain for a GEC these days if I ever saw one.

 

[Oldy]

Looks great. Did you submerge the entire knife into the dye?

I agree. Large Stockman knives are where it’s at. It took me a while, but I picked one up for myself.

Love thar Rolex,I love the simplicity of it as I'm not a big fan of big faces with 5 or 6 different instruments in them.just like my flip phone.

 

[Oldy]

Maybe another stockman is needed in the 66 frame so big and small whichever you choose,everyone loves a clip and coping blade in one knife.

No, for the past several years the only GEC pocketknives I acquire are the annual Blade Forums club knife or one that I trade into. My current experience is down to a sample of one every 365 days! (more or less).

# 310 arrived in this morning's mail. No need to touch up or darken the bone covers. They are nice and dark with well defined jigging - nice and carmely. I've been noticing that it seems the higher the serial number on these 2024 BF knives, the darker the coloring of the covers. Just my take.

Don’t mind me. I am just a Post Ho.
I am glad that GEC knives are popular but they are really hard to come by.

 

[Modoc ED]

This is where Kevin Spark jumps in to again splain how to come by getting a 2024 BF knife.

 

[meako]

Perhaps a covered wagon pulled by a cantankerous Mule....rolling into towns and vilages. The sides open up revealing Dr Sparkles travelling knife store...why friends this knife is a miracle! Not one not two but three! Thats right folks Three blades...Feel the quality of those deee lightful gen yoo ine bone scales...Handmade right here in the U S of A....I'm letting these go at a mere 250 dollars...Yes Sir you heard right...etc etc

Do you know where I can find a history of the BF Traditional Knife by year? Curious what the types and production numbers were. Thanks.

Thank you sir!

Thanks, Spark, for the opportunity to get one of these. #312 here. Oh, and as they’ve said, this is a big knife (for a slipjoint).

Hoping I get the opportunity for a 2025!

It is definitely a big knife! Especially for someone who usually carries a stockman in the 3 1/2-3/4" range (think 34ot). But before long, it started feeling like any other 4" stockman (think 8ot). The build quality is great on these 91s. I don't think you'll regret it

Ok guys, I still have over 160 of these left and I'm just tired of having them around when I need to free up the money to do other things. So with that in mind, I'm dropping the price back down to the preorder price until these are gone - $250 shipped.

I'm not sure if we're going to do a 2025 run this year. Sorry, it is what it is.

You could sell the rest to blade hQ or somthing like that . On eBay guys are selling them for 450 and 499

Maybe a 2025 Gec blade forum in a peanut size . Have a pre order 3 months before the order goes in and only people that pre order have them made . I’m sure it has much more involved to get these done and more time . Would love a gec camp knife with bail .
