Do you guys ever think...

Aaron, thanks for posting that link to the pictures of knives recovered from a sunken river boat. It's always impressed me just how good a condition these knives were still in, some choice items there for sure.

GEC are offering new knives and their interpretation of patterns and this is good, but they are still very dense heavyish knives, something lighter would be a welcome change.

The Anglo-Saxon would be nice, but so too more Pen-knives. Only CASE offers them and only in yellow, there is a lot of scope on this one. A Hoffritz Pen I have is different, larger front bolster and slimmer rear one. Sunk joints very sleek. A Senator would be worthwhile too or a Norfolk, only CASE/Bose released one but I'm sure it would find favour. Maybe more shadow patterns or those with very minimal bolsters too?

Regards, Will
 
Here's a few I'd like to see made... Eureka Jack, Surveyor Jack, more
Harness Jacks, double end Sowbelly jack and a double end Eureka jack. Not easy
patterns to make I'm sure , But would be nice to have...imho!

i keep seeing the ango-saxon mentioned as a pattern, but i must confess i have no idea what sort of knife this would be
any pics so i can get an idea of what you guys are talking about?
 
Anglo Saxon is a larger pattern, kind of Torpedo shape (Top bolster bigger, tapering to a narrower lower one) usually in Whittler configuration but I've heard of it as single-blade. Sunk-joints.
 
Here are some more knives I'd love to see produced. Pretty useful combinations and are really cool patterns.

Please forgive my ignorance in post #2 Vanguard...innocently, I had envisioned the fish shaped folding knife( novelty version ) of which I have only seen one or two examples of. Seeing this scan I stand a tiny bit more enlightened. That is smooth, sleek looking pattern, and I bet it would be a sweet little knife if proportioned correctly...

You're forgiven ;)
I have handled a few fish jacks before (one similar to the Keen Kutter just like in the picture, except with yellow composition) and they were very comfortable in the hand, atleast for me. I can definitely see GEC doing more obscure patterns, I am just hoping they will do them right.
 
The lady leg has never really appealed to me, but I think the heel and the rest of the shoe is functional as a cap lifter, at least on some models. I'm pretty sure the one Gevonovich shows probably would work well as the liners (or scales) extend a bit so as to get a bite on the rim of a bottle cap. Perhaps this had something to do with the popularity of the pattern.

...I wish to see a production Coffin Jack from someone. I could die a happy man to have one of those :p
 
I was just looking at a post the other day that showed a large amount of old slip-joint that had been found at the bottom of a river. The main thing I noticed was that there were quite a few swayback jack/gents in varying sizes and shapes. I would love to seem more of these out now-a-days! Looking at the picture from Vanguard41xx though I wouldn't mind seeing a few of the fish jacks either though....

While im with you on the "no personal appeal" aspect of the lady leg knives, but they are the pattern that got my mother in law to actually carry a pocket knife.... from there she moved to a key chain SAK with a beach/palm tree pattern on it... so to each there own.
 
Kissing Crane/Robert Klaas made a nice Anglo-Saxon Whittler for their anniversary in 2004.
Carbon steel blades with nicely matched, slender stag handles and proud pins. 4-1/2" closed.
