What a beauty, would love to see GEC do a run with tomato acrylic again.

I appreciate all the pictures- the variety is great to see! The number made of each cover is so odd- why 41, 39 etc instead of 50 each???
Maybe that is how much material they had on hand…

Just the one run, back in the day when there was a handle material for everyone’s taste.

2014 was the only run...but it was a good one! I managed to hang on to one for quite a while but passed it along recently. I, too, hope they run that pattern again sometime soon. I think a lot of us were hoping for a 222222 run this year

Thanks for posting the picture and production totals.

Smooth Buckthorn Bone:

 

[rbeggs]

Mine’s black, with slightly red edges. It’s not remotely “brown”.

I voted for ivory white bone but they only sent those to people who have been on the forum a long time.

Regarding the second part of your post...That little thing that was done last year was in very poor taste in my opinion. Wonder if there will be a repeat this year?

I got excited when I saw the title thinking there was a 2022 magnum release upcoming.

Antique Yellow Jigged bone Northfield 22. I'm not sure you can see it clearly in this picture, but the Northfields had fancier squared off bolsters.

Yeah it was, and I wouldn’t bet against it. I was going to buy this year’s forum knife but it dredged up all the bad feelings I had about last year’s so I opted out. They can pass mine on to some eBay flipper.

I also didn't realise there were so many cover options

Size comparison with the 44, they are a little knife.

[JohnDF]

It was a pretty cool little knife, I'm glad she's still enjoying it.

Smooth Buckthorn Bone:

Wonder what differentiates smooth buckthorn bone from antique ivory bone? Both were used on this run and has smooth buckthorn bone been used on any other knives?

Good questions. I don't know what the differences are between "buckthorn bone" "smooth white bone" "ivory bone" etc.

My Buckthorn Bone seems to have a hint of translucency compared to Smooth White Bone, but I don't know if that's typical.

Thanks r8shell . Not sure I’ve see buckthorn before, just seems like smooth white bone with a cool name. waverave Darren if you get a chance could you run a search on your database for buckthorn?

Both of these were released on my birthday. I hope to definitely add one to my collection someday.

 

[RayTL]

I would be definitely pick up one of these if there was a 22 release, all those 2s, how could you go wrong!

 

[Alex.Y.]

222222 would be a fun model number, sure, but honestly I don't think that spear blade belongs to gunstock pattern, or any blade other than clip.

Case makes them that way, and I agree the spear isn't my favorite main blade. Still...
...222222!

It is a great watch pocket knife- they need to release it again with Ebony and also the green bone from the last release of the whittlers!!
