GEC 2020 run of the #23

[MCar]

I just saw a reliable indicator that GEC will do a run of #23s sometime in 2020!

I've become a big fan of this pattern when it has a lock (liner or bull).

whats your indicator? I don't see it on there upcoming production list?

I love 23's!!! My favorite knife is a single blade stag 23. It's not a safe queen.

The production picture with tang stamp 20

I would certainly be interested in a stag liner lock

Please see the picture I posted above...that's the indicator.

Will they do a normal production run or just okca? I would like to try this pattern out but normally those types of runs are hard to get!

Hoping for a LARGE run! This #86 run was pretty darn big.

I don't kniw that I've ever seen GEC do a special run for OKCA...at least not in the past few years. They always seem to be piggyback runs.

Me to! Lots of potential for real big slabs of jigged bone

Well that’s a good sign then!

Yep, I guess it's pretty much out there now!

So hopefully it's alright for me to say:

The AMKCA (Allegheny Mountain Knife Collectors Association) 2020 club knife will also be a #23, if all goes well. Handle not 100% confirmed yet.

The Shaner Sportsmen's Club will likely also have a short order of #23s for members.

You like the liner lock on the #23s?

Those white bone ones sure are something!

Those are both great looking knives, and two I'm not sure I've ever seen before! Maybe I've seen the golf-ball-jigged bone one (love that jigging!), but I've definitely never seen the other(s)!

I'm excited about the idea of GEC doing a #23 this year, and I'd completely forgotten that I already have one! At least, I'm pretty sure these '07 early-GEC Schrade Trappers were done on the #23 pattern, right?

(I have to be honest, that knife isn't actually mine anymore. I gave it away in this GAW last year. But, I do have one exactly like it that I kept for myself. )

Mine is on the way! The autumn bone. Has anyone put theirs to use yet? Any thoughts? I can't wait!
