GEC #86 2021: Angus Jack, 2AB, Spring Street Barlow (BF Knife)

[Angry Angus]

i would like to know why GEC call it 'Angus'

What's your beef with it?

 

[The Amazing Virginian]

What a beauty. GEC did a great job with these. Best knife GEC has released all year.

Are the 86's similar in size to a 15? Does anyone have comparison pics?

Apologies for the poor picture. Indoor lighting is very poor. Should give you an idea at least - there is a significant size difference.

Which is which? Is the 86 larger or smaller than the 15?

86 is the bigger of the two

 

[Will Power]

And, small amounts of size make a great difference with Traditionals...this 2 blade Angus Jack will be a heavy knife, looks good BAREHEAD and I think the Medium Rare/ Well Done is an amusing poke at those potential and ill-informed moaners when they don't get a Jet Black one

Handsome knife but too bulky for my taste, plus using the secondary when the master's closed may not be comfortable. Expect it to be a strong seller with a big following.

My Name is Jack, Angus Jack, where is the Beef?

 

[Ian80]

I’m going to have to try to get one of these. What a cool piece! The etching is really neat.

 

[Jiki]

I like it, however its kind of a navy or rope knife in farm knife clothing.

This would be farm clothing. The AJ is Sunday go to meeting clothing.

Undoubtedly a tribute to the Robert Klaas Black Angus knife.

I hope they made a trailer load of these. I’d like one of each. Handsome wood, a nice shield and a great blade pairing.

 

[AnW]

Looks awesome - love the blade choices, the shield, and the covers! One of these coupled with the forum barlow would be a great way to end my knife year.

Just thinking out loud - since Charlie indicated the forum knife would be available around November and these are starting to ship next week, they're either making a boatload of them or there will be more varieties to come.

 

[Blades of Glory]

I do love that shape…

Thanks, that makes me want an 86 even more. I like "medium" sized traditional knives the best.

I guess I'm weird and prefer a brown one. I assume it will darken over time anyway.

 

[JoeGoblyn]

It’s gonna be a hefty knife. But I’m really into the looks of it.

I’m hoping for a well done but only in my scale color. I’ll take my ribeye med rare.

#86 Angus jack with Sheepfoot main blade and pen secondary is approaching!

Looking forward to this run. Hoping to get my hands on both the dark and light.

 

[Sacto]

These look really nice. I love a sheepsfoot and a barehead and the shield is nice, too. I don’t think I’ll get one though, as it’s similar to the forum knife I already have. Also similar (though much nicer) than my hayn helper. I like the name, too. Looks like another winner
