GEC 2023 Dogleg Jack #562123

The 56 is my favorite pattern, one of the few I prefer a two blade in. Would be nice if Charlie could get a SFO in!
 
I would love an example of the 56 pattern, but a single blade in a small pattern is just too thin for me. I had a single blade 85 that I moved on for that reason. I will enjoy the show though!

Could anybody be so kind as to help a fella figure out where to preorder one of these? Thanks🥺

Well, it’s been my experience that if you don’t have a relationship with a dealer and are not on their early reserve list then it will be difficult to preorder one. I hope that you’ll be able to score one on a drop. 🤞

I’ve heard that for a year but try as I might I haven’t been able to make it on any early reserve lists and I don’t know who to contact to get on them- every time ive tried they say they’re full up even months ahead lol. I guess that’s the game nowadays🤷‍♂️

Will you might change your mind about EO if your fingers start looking like this. Like The Rolling Stones said, “What a drag it is getting old”. I had two large lambs modified to EO because they were just too difficult to open otherwise.

Aaarghhh! Is that from motor-bike riding?? I can see your point then, but Wright knives have a 9.5 pull anyway so it's not too surprising....However, I'm lucky not to have those problems-plenty others- my objection to EO is based upon ironically, an injury. My ring finger tip right hand was partially severed in an accident long ago, it was re-attached well but left a big painful scar that even now feels unpleasant against things- cut out on knives when gripping. The other objection is aesthetic - you dock a lot of fine scale material-rather like unnecessary end-caps ;):D

At least GEC is now offering a different variation on the 56 with EO ( the Hawkbill/Pruner has one rather weirdly) and not going for whimsy by putting a Tick pulling tool on it too for the house dog/cat 🤣:eek:

It’s not from riding my MC. It’s just old age arthritis. Luckily it’s for now mainly on my left hand and I’m right handed.
