How’s the typical execution on the 23’s? Any blade wobble or centering issues?
I am gonna need to get my hand on one of these #23s! Big Ole Trapper!!! Yes please! Gotta be quick with that reserve button.

I just got my email. We OKCA club members all got to move fast on this one. I am heading to the bank and post office in the morning. Looks like this #23 is going to be a smooth Autumn/Goldenrod Natural Bone . In the picture the secondary blade is the same as the main blade . I believe that picture has a mistake. The OKCA club knife has a beefier secondary blade. I'm not sure what they call that beefier secondary blade. That is why I am here on Blade Forums to learn. I am buying both knives , so I am super excited. I want a Sambar Stag #23 two blade , if GEC makes one. No telling what is on Bill Howard's creative mind. The hunt is on ! "GEC KNIFE COLLECTING IS WAR !"
I can't wait to receive the OKCA and the AMKCA club knives in my left hand. I own Boker Trappers and those #23 Trapper beefy secondary spey blade threw me off. I am real excited about this #23 run. Bill Howard is doing the smart thing by offing two blades up front. I bet after 2/3rds of the #23 production run , GEC will announce single blades . I want both myself. Seems like single blades always sell out first. Releasing double blades first , might be a better business decision. Two blades , One blade , slipjoint , liner lock , or bull-lock , I am going fool on this run.I can't wait to see the OKCA club knife for 2020!!
This picture isn't even close to all of them that have been produced!! The company could almost change its name from GEC to GET!!!
They have made many sizes of Trapper with numerous handles!!If you have one, or some, please post it/them!!!

So what do we think this run is going to look like.
Any insight on covers, other possible sfo's ( have seen okca and amkca).
Just two blade or do you think we might see some singles.
Personally would love a single blade LL in stag
Wait! What! Seriously? Woohoo!!My guess is that the club knives will be doubles and the rest of the run will be single linerlocks just per your request.... Large stag is a bit tough right now; but maybe....
I might be up for an ebony single blade. I'd prefer a slip joint though.
I surely hope double blades are not restricted to club knives, as none of the clubs will accept me as a member due to my serrated and checkered past.
Liner locks are not my favorite, so still hoping for back lock........
Whatever they produce this time, it AIN'T going to beat that one.I already got my #23 linerlock for Christmas this past year, no need for a newer one.
Doesn't mean I won't get one, though!

Looks like some new style jigging for the beavers.
