GEC cheat sheet

[animalxxmother]

When i was trying to figure out what was what with GEC I kept having to switch back and forth on different sites to get an idea of what would fit my needs and wants. Since I couldnt find something like it, I decided to make a cheat sheet of sorts. It lists name, model number, closed length, and covers how many blades it potentially has. I hope this helps someone out. It has helped me a bit. Sorry if it has been done and im kicking that horse.

Your cheat sheet will come in handy, thanks!

For a guy looking tonight to buy his first traditional pocket knife for more of a classic whittler, this guide is PERFECT!

As you can see from my post count, I'm more of a reader, but I just had to say thank you.

Nice job. That will come in handy.

 

[addylo]

Nice! Thanks for sharing that.

Just two corrections to your great chart, animal:
1) the 53 (cam tangs) and 54 (half stops) are both equal ends of the same length @ 4-1/8", and
2) the 85 Bullet End Jack is 3-5/8", not just 3".

Sorry, but I used to be a professional writing teacher and proof reader.

That is great!!!! Thaks for your effort.

Awesome!

As a newcomer to the knife world I had been contemplating putting something like this together - now I don't have to.

Animalxxmother, if you feel inclined to do the extra work, this thread from 2Dead has a listing of whether each pattern has half-stops or not (cam tangs). I see another column in your future!

If you going to make some additions I would add Gambler and Executive Whittler to you #89 name cell. Great work and very useful!!

 

[mike Berkovitch]

Great idea, thank you. When I will have little time I will put photos of each model as complementary info.

 

[Woodrow F Call]

Nice!

 

[pertinux]

Wow, you've been busy. Thanks for this!

A few more patterns to add to your frame numbers/descriptions above:

#25 Small Jack (Not all #25s are barlows; many are jacks, both bolstered and bareheaded. GEC first called them simply "Jacks," but added "Small" to later runs.)

#33 Whittler (add an asterisk in the '3' column)

#66 Calf Roper (stockman-- add an asterisk in the '3' column), Moose, Harness Jack
