Great Eastern Cutlery 2024 lucky pattern 13

[Elgatodeacero]

It is rare I am able to start one of these threads, so here is the spot for comments and pics of these sleek, svelte, sexy knives.

I am going to try for a Tidioute cocobolo 13 this run - really like this small knife.

I'm trying for a couple myself!! Quite useful knives to carry!!

I won’t say no to a wharncliffe.

I am calling it now, the cocobolo and the Springfield yellow bone are the best of the run.

I've got a 13 Whip in Cocobolo on the way. Should be arriving this Friday. I'll post pictures once I get it out of the tube.

I wasn't too excited about this run initially, as when I think of a Congress, I usually picture a four-blade configuration - I've heard Bill Howard doesn't like those. I don't say this too often, but on that count, he's just plain wrong. Then again, I'm not the one who has to make them.

I think GEC missed an opportunity to bolt a lambsfoot blade on there instead of a wharncliffe, and in so doing break the internet - but that's just me.

Also, I get worried when folks say things like "it just disappears in the pocket!" as I prefer knives that I know are there. That said, the subtly serpentine effect when the blade is open won me over. Hope it doesn't feel too small in hand.

Just paid my invoice for a Black Maple Richlite Whip. Pics and impressions upon arrival.

Got home early from a work trip today, and had a valentines present waiting on me!! Great wood on this one. Pull is light, blade is sharp, and the shield is awesome with this scale option.

Three from 2017. I figure 3 out of 4 ain’t bad.

I've got my first ever 13 on the way. An Antique Yellow Spring Field Bone Whip!

 

[sf fanatic]

Well, Postie Mike just made my day! This knife is flat out beautiful! Excellent fit and finish and it has the best walk and talk of any of my recent GECs. I think Bill is on to something with using Richlite as a handle material. This one is definitely a keeper!View attachment 2503384View attachment 2503385

Well I had no idea gec was making a single spring Congress pattern at the moment... But it popped up in the exchange and damn is it a beauty. Perfect action. Gorgeous cocobolo. Awesome size.

This is dangerous. I like the #13. A lot.


I'm gonna have to look around to see if there's a single spring sheepsfoot and pen. Lol!

 

[Viper84]

Are these less popular in general, or is the 13 really giving me luck? I now have these three whip versions the way:

Antique Yellow Spring Field Bone
Stag
Cocobolo

I wasn't initially drawn to the 13 pattern, but I'm a sucker for a wharncliffe.

 

[ms3902]

So excited for these, was able to snag a cocobolo this afternoon, that shield is just too good!!

 

[Let'er Buck]

I can’t wait for the stag clerks to start dropping

 

[GPO MAN]

These look rotten banana peelish.
