GEC #89 Fruit Knife...well, that was a surprise!

[Vaporstang]

1st pic, 2nd from the bottom is a tremendous looking piece, what was the name on the cover on that if you recall?

Thanks! 892309 #03 of 50 Executive Whittler - 2nd Cut Jig Burnt Stag

Holy cow, just when i stop paying attention to new GEC releases they wrangle me back in with my favorite pattern, in a totally unique configuration, in a gorgeous acrylic. Well played, GEC. Well played.

"SHIPPING TODAY!" Have sweeter words ever been said?

Did someone say that the Apples & Oranges acrylic was just Dead Skunk with the backside painted orange? I can see it. Might explain the seams, too.

Some photos of the chestnut. I think the glow in the dark yeller may be my favorite of the bunch.

Wow, it does kind of look like that. Hmm.

I won't be going for the acrylic. Every time I think I might want one, I don't like how it feels when I get it in my hands. But this one does look nice.

I just got a reservation on the glow one. I honestly have no clue what to use it for except for slicing up some fruit in the dark with this reversed light-saber slip-joint which I guess will bring enough of excitement to justify purchasing it.

And already on the bay. That’s just great...

Yep, another GEC distributor flipping on FleaBay.

If you cut a "plug out of a melon to test it, why not just smash it with a hammer? Who's gunna want it anyway.

Looking at GECs pictures of this knife I came to think that an extraordinary long long-pull would have suited it quite well.

Got my invoice for the apples/orange this afternoon. Even though it’s not a long pull, I’m getting a bit excited to handle this one

I'll be happy to land whatever I can of these new ones, but also wish they'd gone with a long pull. Still excited though!

I’m curious if Lemon Brite acrylic is actually a different material than the Nifebrite or Sunbrite GEC has used before, or if they renamed one of those to fit the fruit knife theme. To me it looks more yellow than Nifebrite and less yellow than Sunbrite, but I obviously haven’t seen it in person.

Pretty sure its different stuff, and it is more yellow. They've used it before but I can't recall on what. They likely called it something different as they tend to do.

Got my invoice today for my reservation. I’m really looking forward to using this one on all the fruit from my trees

Just remembered, "Sunbrite" acrylic is what I believe they called it last. Used on the 77 yankees if I'm not mistaken.

Yep, Sunbrite was their other glow-in-the-dark acrylic. (I mentioned it in my post above. ) I’ve never had a Sunbrite GEC, always just preferred the way Nifebrite looked. Here are a couple examples of Sunbrite (old dealer photos). The covers on this new #89 don’t look quite as yellow to me, but it may be the same stuff.

Lemon Brite ? Sounds and LOOKS cool but it makes me thirsty, I want a Gin and Bitter Lemon now

I do think it suits the long slim frame of this knife though
