Great eastern cutlery 25 beerlow

Edit: cap lifter works as advertised-no fingers, hands, arms or legs were injured during the process.

Is this the first time GEC have used that rather stupid name - 'Beerlow' in print? Genuine question

Jack, the term Beerlow was best to my knowledge coined by Evan (Esynx) Nicolaides a couple of years before the Beer Scout. He would transform GEC 15 radio and crown lifters into Beerlows by adding Barlow bolster and he converted a couple of TCs too. GEC released a small handful of soupbone TC Beerlows at the 2015 Rendezvous as a jab at Charlie. As far as in print, seems to me some had “Beerlow” written in pen on tube…but that was not “official.” Not mine nor my photo BUT my grail! Mark1676547159554.jpeg

LOL! 🤣 :thumbsup:

I remember the craze well Taylor, I wonder how much they regret butchering some of Charlie's early TC's. Bill Howard also produced a handful at one of the GEC gatherings I believe :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

Sorry Jack, was middle of night and missed your recollection of Bill’s TC Beerlow…still love my TC Beerlow as done by Jordan Fowler as well as my Beerlow created from a crown lifter by Glennbad.376A4999-0F8F-467E-ABB0-7168E7508178.jpeg7A3410B8-5AB5-4549-BD69-DA7046CCBBE0.jpeg
 
At least I won't mind seeing pictures of the whole set in one hand.

Just my musings but on a forum that is dedicated to talking about knives, there’s a very large percentage of us that are collectors. We can’t all be hardcore Jedi “real knife users”.

No one ever seen a 5 feet lamb in a zoo. They belong to circus... 😉

Must be a tiny apple of some sort. I use my 89 Stainless Fruit Knife and it is barely enough to slice a mediocre apple.

A small cherry? A strawberry?

Just yesterday I was splitting blueberries with mine for my 1 year old. In the same day I used it to trim bucktail hair on my jigs, open a few packages, and open some beers. This thing definitely has some utility to it.

I appreciate your effort, but a full blade would no doubt be more efficient, but I may be wrong...

I will try harder next time sorry to disappoint you.😉
Here's the knife. Store model. Major inclusions in the bone on both covers. I like the character though. It will be a useful little guy imo.View attachment 2083939View attachment 2083940

I think that the " S " probably indicates that it is a " SPECIAL " and not " Store " . There is most likely no other one like it .

It's a fun little knife, if you are looking to be the most efficient with every cut? By all means get a different knife.

However, some of the issues described above may not be the knife's fault but rather the short comings of the one that wields it.

You know, I have carving knives that are purpose built that are much more efficient at carving than a pocket knife. Vee tools and gouges too. But sometimes I like to take more time and effort just to see if I have the skill to carve with a pocket knife.

Sometimes it's the journey.
