GEC Beagles

Curious if the Beagle name applied to this style knife relates to a certain Beagle associated with Peanuts?

Could be. Also GEC calls their larger #56 pattern a reverse dog leg.

Members of the cult of the peanut pattern are probably doing the Snoopy dance after hearing about this new pattern. :)

If they add a cap lifter, they could call it a beagle scout knife. ;)

Haha nice one Jake. Love me some Schultz.

This will be a very interesting knife at least for me. I'll be keeping my eye on it to see what cover options they offer out.

Hmmm..... Just the right size for a PunchNut, punch secondary, and they are already making a wharncliffe primary.... One of my dream knives, so close, yet still so far away......

Yes! Coyote-Leg PunchNut !!!
 
I like a lanyard hole in almost every Jack knife pattern. If you carry your knife in a belt sheath a lanyard makes pulling knife from sheath much easier. Also helpful outside in the bush if you want to put your knife down for a minute, you can hang it on stubby branch with a lanyard. Knife is then easier to find than lying on the ground. Etc.
Is there a drawback to a lanyard hole ? Do some patterns not have enough space for a lanyard hole ?

Wharncliffe & awl secondary ? Oh, you need a Wharnawl, may i suggest the 3 3/8" size, perfect for all cuttin' and pokin' jobs.

Also good to tie to your belt so if it falls you don't lose your knife
 
I more of a bigger knife guy trapper but I might pick up this beagle looks cool way to show our knife and pet love at the same time
 
I think a Beaglish head might be a shield on these knives and thus the name "Beagle knife".
This is strictly a guess.

Thank you, Tim I'll also be looking at the covers and shields.

Thank you for the compliment on the knife. It's one of the relatively few GEC folders with 440C steel. They did a nice job scaling down the worm groove bone to fit this small pattern.

I'd bet money on a hot dog shield. ;) But I'm hoping for the hound's tooth shield or another classic shield. A dog's head shield like Ka-bar used would also be cool.
 
Beer Nut for me please. That would be a fun little knife.

I'll have to get one of some kind. I'd like the Beagle in a barehead with some sweet jigged bone. Shield isn't necessary, but the hounds tooth would be cool. I had a yeller nut recovered in Ebony and had the shield put back in, but I think plain would have been better.
 
Based on the artist drawing, the GEC "Beagle" pattern is going to be fatter than most peanuts. Aside from the White Owl, Great Eastern doesn't do much in slender... :(

I like fatter makes it easier for my paws to get around it

That's okay. GEC doesn't have to make an exact copy of the Peanut. I think it will be a nice little knife as long as they don't have too hard a pull.

BTW, the #09 Esquire is a slim little knife. Quite nice.

The wider more stubby pattern makes it less visually appealing, but you're right about it potentially being a great user. And with such a short blade and limited geometry / leverage, having a gentle pull will be especially important.

I haven't gotten my hands on one of those yet. The White Owl is perfect though, and shows what GEC is capable of.

Maybe, maybe not. As a point of reference, the two-bladed Pemberton (Pattern #06) is slimmer than a Case Peanut, at least when comparing these bone iterations (jigged and smooth, respectively).

P. in your picture above, the GEC Pemberton is thicker than the Case, whereas you say "the two-bladed Pemberton (Pattern #06) is slimmer than a Case Peanut,".
