With no brick and mortar stores in my area that carry GEC or Case knives, it is often hard for me to get a real feel for how big something is. Wondering if anyone could post a pic of a couple of knives with something I have so I can get a relative size comparison.
Thanks in advance…

Interested in pics of a GEC Eureka Jack and the 2013 Forum knife with one or more of the following - peanut, pemberton, conductor, boys knife, norfolk, opinel 6 or 8, vic cadet or pioneer - these are some I have that I could use for comparison. If you have comments about how easily either of those pocket carry I'd be interested in that as well. Thanks.
 
These might help. Boy's Knife (Radio), Eureka, Electrician (same size as Pioneer).

Wow , the Eureka is smaller than I had thought it would be. That little fact just bumped it up a few spots on my "Must get" list. I hope you like yours Jone.
 
It is smaller than I expected it to be too. Still trying to decide on that one. Helps seeing it beside some knives I've actually held. I really have a hankering for a good coping blade…

The Eureka is an excellent pattern, I have two - Ivory White and Green Jigged. The secondary blade is a big draw, I converted one of them to a sleek Wharncliffe. Be aware that Jeff's (Black Mamba) version is I think, modified from Spear to Clip master. As far as I know, there was no production run of Clips, yet. The Eureka is a good size for me, and has a particularly good handle.

Jeff, I recently got a 15 Radio Red myself, really stunning knife, that bone is super! Excellent finish on my one too, more than pleased with it.

Thanks, Will
 
Yes, Will, I think the bone is top 3 of all time from GEC, for combo of color and jigging.
 
The angle I'm the pic is not the greatest for comparison. And it's enhanced. The Tidioute version is probably thinner and lighter than the Northfield. I don't have a nf to compare but the absence of the end cap and shield should help to thin and slim things a bit if that matters. Either way it's a great pattern.

Tasty stag on that Eureka, I always like how GEC inlet their shields - they do it properly!

Thanks, Will
