I asked in the general discussion and someone sagely pointed me here. Has GEC ever released a 38 Special Yellow Rose? Based on their website it does not seem so, but I don't know if the GEC site is exhaustive. Any info is appreciated.

I’m a big 38 fan and have never seen a 38 yellow rose. Maybe someday though!
 
I don’t believe so but I’m reluctant to say so definitively because with most patterns there’s a few random knives made as 1/3 or 1/4 or whatever, and they don’t necessarily make it into the normal retail channels.
 
If they start another run of 38s it would be good to see them in some new configuration . They've already offered Whittler, Farmer's Jack, Special (single-blade) and the Northwoods Wharncliffe, all wonderful knives. But I'd like to see a single-spring Penknife version with Spear/ small Clip and Clip / Coping. This could accommodate the Yellow Rose form very nicely in my view.
 
GEC has not released a yellow rose version of the 38. Barring Northwoods Willamette Whittler, here is a list of all materials used on a GEC 38 pattern.
