Hey Guys,

I have been waiting for the #23 pattern for a while. So I am curious, do you like the single blade or double blade pattern best? Which feels best in your hands? What handle material for this run do you like best?

I use all my knives in the field, so does using the knife in the field change your opinion on your choice?

Thanks,

Geoff
 
On a knife as big as the #23, one blade is enough for me I think.
The two bladed monster must be a heavy bugger in the pocket. :eek:
But, i'm sure the two bladed model has its fans too, so only you can really decide.
 
I'd go one blade for sure... if it wasn't a liner lock.

I think the woodland micarta is gonna look and feel great. I hope they do stag also though.
 
GEC single blades are the most popular. So Double blades go out first , because it is a better sales strategy . The #23 single blades will sell out quickly like the #93s late year. I believe GEC is secretly holding back on large Sambar Stag scales for Bull-lock #23 Tappers. I believe GEC might do a Bull-lock #23 run, #23 frame Northwoods single blade knives , and maybe some Charlie C. #23 knives. I am wishing , hoping , and dreaming. I am buying big on this run. I love a knife I can hold between my knees/thighs and pop open with my thumb.
 
I have one of each and love both. I just really enjoy this size knife and it fits very well with the things I do with a blade. Sorry, I know this doesn't really help you decide. My advice would be buy both if you can. If you can't think about how wide a knife you like in your hand for things you do. If you use a knife for long periods of time, the wider handle is more comfortable.

I have six GEC#23LL knives on pre-order. I pre-paid for two different Club knives. I want that SFO Exotic India bone #23 two blade Trapper. And maybe a second one for EDC backup . That Brazilian Cherrywood #23 two blade has got some Krazy jigging. I'll have the bones ! I have been Krazy saving for this #23 run. Those Woodland micarta scales looked just like grooved Brazilian Cherry wood to me. I am sure they look much different together. I am still hoping the Northfield #23 Trapper brown jigged bone will be Chocolate Almond Peach-seed jigged bone. I have a light and dark #86 Oil Field Jack SFO Chocolate Almond bone knife. The best GEC knife of 2019.
