That bolster and end cap looks amazing. Took me from “yawn” to “I need one!”

Beaver Tails are showing up at dealers. Just paid the invoice for one. Should show up early next week. Pics and impressions will follow.

Yep, scored one this afternoon.

First Beaver Tail, I'm excited.

If I'm being completely honest, it was seeing one of the older Beaver Tail models that initially piqued my interest in traditionals and GEC -- a momentous occasion from which I'll most likely never financially recover.

Have been waiting to pick one up at retail.

 

[HEMI 49]

So.... Say I want to get one of these and pay retail instead of double or more from a scalper.

How do I go about doing this? There is absolutely no information on it at all on the GEC website and dlt (and their other listed sellers) has nothing on their website besides sold out models.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! I just don't really get how this works.

Get on the Dealer's notification lists.... Be alert for drops...... Keep an eye on the Knife Exchange.......

Here is an old Keen Kutter English Jack for comparison. I like the fancy bolster.

Good intricate bolster and like the stamped end-cap, They seem to have got 10 years off the pace or is that their 2013 th club knife

Typo, but worth a laugh!!

#87 and #63/64/65 share the same Blade?

Real benchmark there: Stabber Jack spear, fine shield, Barehead, magnificent 'rain gutter' style bolster and some pick bone to mull over...I'm Keen...

looks like it really is a narrower clip...

Nice knife!

It is indeed! Typical GEC quality, excellent fit and finish. Blades are nice and snappy and the pulls are 5-6 range.

Here’s a picture of the spines of the #65 and 87. They look different to me.

Not for me but looks to be a perfect historical homage.

Ok, I lied. Stumbled on a drop and couldn't help myself cause I have no beavers.
Someone that has one in hand already, can you post a pic of the 87 next to a few common patterns please?
