[soothingsteel]

Hey Everyone, this is my first post in this subforum and gotta say I've been pretty into GECs for a while now, and have been wanting to collect stainless GECs, especially the Elk Cover Acorns! Anyways I spent a good bit of time researching all the runs, these don't include fixed blades. Here are the Stainless runs by GEC, I did a quick summary and then did patterns per year. Figured I'd share with ya'll, thanks! Hope you guys find this useful/helpful. Thanks!

I have been wanting to collect stainless GECs, especially the Elk Cover Acorns!

Here are three nice ones!!
Thanks for compiling the list!!

 

[waynorth]

Elk #74s;

 

[btb01]

This #15 was my only stainless GEC for a long time, but this year I picked up one each of the stainless #89’s and #86’s they did. (I did briefly have a stainless #99, but I didn’t like the wharncliffe blade on that pattern.)
