GEC SS Blades

[FLHTK]

What knives did GEC produce with SS blades? I have several GEC knives in 1095 but prefer a SS blade as a carry knife.

 

[hornetguy]

I don't know all of them, but I have a #74 Mustang that is 440C.

 

[mrknife]

there was a bunch of 15s in 440c but that was ages ago. the 74 came in 440c and a few others. their site has more precise numbers tho.

I believe the "Dog Paw" 33s were stainless, as well.

Some 48s too...
And the 99 was a Stainless Lockback.
I've had a few Stainless GEC knives, but sold them because I find I prefer Carbon.
D2 would be a very nice steel, I wish GEC would do some more runs in it. Highly unlikely though.

Am a fan of GEC SS. Add vipers, 62s, and some fixed blades to the list.

My first choice would be a SS 15 from the run 3 years ago, if you can find one. NFS

They most definitely made the #73s in 440C, 'cause here is the whole lineup from 2007.

And here is another stack, mostly #53 Cubans, but with a #61, two #73s and two #74s on the left.

And here are a couple of stainless Bowies, small and large.

Some really spectacular knives. It's hard to find any GEC's up here (Canada). All but one of mine came from south of the border.

 

[B.F.U]

They made 23s, 89s, 48 bird knives, 65 fish knives,

 

[traumkommode]

42 Lockbacks as well

 

[black mamba]

Yep, they sure did!

Indeed they were.

ISKRA, looks like you modified yours. Here's the original, with blade etch (I love it!) and bail (not so much) in tact.

Yup. I love the tang stamp and shield but the etch was too much for me, so I polished it off. The bail on mine was leaving marks on the bolster like you, I wasn't the biggest fan of it either. Now that it's "personalised", I have no second thoughts careying and using it. Nice to see your is in original condition still.

These are the (folding knife) patterns GEC has done in Stainless and the order they came out in. (approx. and some could be missing)
73, 23, 53, 12, 25, 33, 61, 72, 48, 68, 89, 62, 42, 47, 63, 15, 74, 99.

I would love to see GEW do some SS knives. It would also be nice for them to use D2, 154CM, ect
