Has anyone noticed the pics on GEC's site about this one? Looks like a 3-blade whittler - clip, pen, and sheepfoot on the Conductor frame. http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/gallery/whats-happening-march-4th/

Yes, starting with an early glimpse of some clips with deeeeep nail grooves designated for that model.
Should be interesting!
I doubt that's where these are headed, however:

Interesting. I knew it would happen eventually. Queen makes conductor sized swell centered whittler already. I had hoped my wallet would recover a bit more before it did...
P, the hoof pic says #72 frame... a lockback with a hoof pick or another run of the #73 with hoof pics?

It looks like they're calling that one a 72.

A #33 whittler might be a candidate for the new TSA approved airline travel, starting April 25th.
With two blades at the other end, the clip master should be a little shorter than the current two-blade #33s are.

Interesting point Jeff. Is the main blade normally shorter if its in a whittler pattern? I don't have unsharpened GECs in whittler and non-whittler configurations to confirm. I did check my elk and tortoise #33s last night and they came in at 64mm, longer than the 60mm max.
Good thought. I believe the 33 pattern is an exact duplicate of the Queen whittler as far as outline goes, as you would expect. I'll have to double check that tonight and see if that is true or whether I am mistaken. If so I'll check blade length as well and see where it comes in.
Lord I wish GEC would quit pinching the bolsters on everything they put out.

I could be wrong, but it seems like ones I've measured in the past were shorter to accomodate the two thicker tangs at the opposite end.
Kidneys are over rated.

Mike, do you know if the #33W have a Split-Spring?
