Just noticed that Great Eastern Cutlery posted a 531213 T.K. Cuban on their production schedule.
The GEC tang stamp decoder ring would indicate a 4-1/8" #53 frame, two blades with a clip main blade.
And even though it is labeled as a "Cuban" the 1 designator for the main blade means that they will use the much-preferred-by-me big clip blade.
So far so good, but I wonder what the second blade is going to be.
My secondary wish list - In order of preference
1. Spear point --> basically a reisssue of a standard #53 moose
2. Sheepsfoot/coping blade --> This would become the perfect utility knife, as I've never had much need for a spey blade on the traditional cattle knife
What I hope they don't do for the secondary:
1. Pen blade. . . total snoozer. . . can't say I'm much of a pen blade fan.
2. Spey blade. . . Actually much more useful to me than a pen blade, but not preferred
But no matter what, I'm looking forward to these. After all, between ebony & cocobolo covers on a #53 pattern I'm set.
