I'd like to see the discussion move away from the personal jabs. Take them offline, please. Thanks.

Amen. Thank you.

The taste carbon steel gives to the slices off my daily apple is the main reason I have an SAK in my tool box at work, not one of my GECs. I'd buy a stainless one with a decent sized main blade in a heartbeat. But that's just me...

I think if GEC planned their stainless off some of the more popular designs and/or designs that seem more designed for wetter environments would be a great way for them to look at and ramp up some of their stainless production to see a growth in their business. This would hopefully limit or reduce the chances of low sales when a stainless is released. I know that the die hard "true" traditionalist want only carbon but stainless can be plenty traditional and often can be the more practical steel for a knife that is used.

I would buy their popular offerings in stainless. For example: I want a GEC Eureka Jack. But they don't offer one in stainless. So I bought a Case Bose Eureka Jack.
To be quite frank I've about given up on buying GEC. Oh well. More money for Case.

I won't buy carbon and I won't buy case so I am left in a void without quality american, or at least non-chinese, made in SS.

I count myself lucky as having 6 stainless Great Easterns: White Owl, 73 mod, 2 Conductors, 15 Orange bone, and a fixed. Gave a Stag Half Congr away. I could do with some more though
