GEC .38 Special Question

[Railsplitter]

My little Wharnie Union Knifeworks bears a family resemblance although it's quite a bit smaller.

In MCar's post #13 of Derrick's video around the beginning at about .07 does he said a "cranium" pattern?

You're crackin' me up, Rob! I think he said "Premium".

Isn't a 38 special a hand gun? 22 magnum, 44 gunstock, 38 special; names GEC uses for knife patterns from gun terms?

The 38 Special seems related to the toothpick. Or not. Here’s mine.

That's a beauty, Todd!

Thank you kindly!

It does look like the wharncliffe knife handle a bit. I have an Ohta that looks like these 38s a bit with a wharncliffe blade.

I have been buying 38's between the releases of other patterns since there are still some available from dealers. It' a great pattern!

My name is Tom and I'm a knifaholic...

Right click on the image, then "copy the address of the image". Should not be a problem if you name the source.

That's what the blade reminds me of! It looks like some of the toothpicks I used to have made by Case. GEC made these too and the blade is similar. So, its a 38 Garden Jack Toothpick!

That one on the far right looks like a cranium pattern.

If it's a cranium pattern made by Case, I suppose it's a head Case.

i always thought these were referred to as the reverse dogleg, this was the pattern for the rendezvous knife last year but i didnt grab since i prefer the regular 48 dogleg trapper pattern

I do like that one, Lostball.
On the GEC 56 dogleg the main blade pivot is on the dawg's Paw. On these 38's the main blade pivot is on the pooch's paw. In my imagination.

I definitely think that's what GEC was going for with their selection of #22 for their small gunstock and #44 for their larger gunstock. The 38 special seems different, though. But who knows.
