MCar MCar Could that be a 55 in your picture ?
I get the 56 & 55 mixed up. I believe the only difference is one is the reverse dogleg, but whic one dogs which way confuses me.
I to am excited about the run of 56s and hope to get a single spear.

That is definitely a 55. This pattern really does look good with a wharncliff blade.

The only difference between the 55's and 56's is that the 55's have half stops and the 56's do not.

That is a very handsome knife Paul. Do you still have the Natural Canvas #18 Beagle. If so, let's see the two together.

Ha! I was thinking of you as I compared the two together when it arrived, kinda the Danny Devito/Arnold Schwarzenegger Twins thing:p:thumbsup: I will post this weekend when I get the chance:)

hunter, very good walk n talk, pull is a 6ish, maybe 7, typical GEC finished product and I really like the Satin bolsters. I think the frame gives it a "smaller than it actually is" feel to it.

Not sure if seeing it makes the wait for mine better or worse!? It’s in Canada now so hopefully Monday, more likely Tues or Wed...

Ooo, you are correct, hamsco hamsco ! Some of GECs patterns make perfect sense to me (47 and 74, for example). But the 55/56 thing....I still don't get it. At any rate, it looks like the doglegs are out! That natural canvas is a looker. And I'm so happy to see a bomb shield! :)

Yep, I agree on all points.

:thumbsup: You’re right. To me if the shape and size of the frame are the same then it should be considered the same pattern. The 53/54 patterns are like that also.
 
I believe that in both of those examples, MCar and Travman, that one pattern uses cam tangs, and the other has half-stops. Otherwise they are the same.
 
I never knew they made a different model # based purely on half-stops. Is that a go/no go for folks? I tend to prefer half-stops, but I wasn’t going to pass on this satin/micarta 56 just because of that.

I did consider it, just because I need more buying filters. ;)
