GSO 20 request thread

Updated post 1 with a few of redwood22s renderings. They look too good to be relegated to page 4 or 5. :thumbup:
 
Yum. :D

Thanks warder! I updated my version to 22 inches to both differentiate from a potential gso-20 as well as pay some symbolism to my user name

So Guy, how about it?

update - Here are a few beautiful renderings that redwood22 put together. This is a glimpse of what the fabled GSO 20 could look like. Just add Guy's signature touch.

Oh yeah baby!
Back to page one with you!!! :thumbup:

I NEED one!!!

Fearing for my safety in a zombie apocalypse got me thinking. What would you imagine the actual price of a GSO 20 would be? $500?

I would say "guessing" that it would be around $500- minimum. But who knows if at a certain length costs really jump up or something
 
That makes sense. I didn't know if there was more to increase cost than just the amount of steel. I would think the time and skill with heat treating and sharpening that much metal would also affect price.
 
For a 20" GSO blade in 3V, with SK! quality and craftsmanship, I'd expect closer to $750 - $1000.
That's a lotta steel, grinding, polishing and HT work!

And a big ass sheath!!! :D

Now that was my original thought, but we're talking about the dude who sells a 12 inch 3v blade for $350 and REDUCED the price of the new spec GSO 10 :D

I know a blade the same size as a GSO 20 from other places would definitely reach closer to $1000.
 
Based on the price difference between a GSO-10 and a GSO-12 being $50 it looks like about $25 per inch.
That would make the lowest price I can imagine come in at $549 ($25 times 8 inches additional length plus the $349 base price).
That assumes that the steel and machining costs stay the same as you scale up, but if he made it much beefier we would have to go into weight training just to swing it.

If a GSO 20 ever does get made, and if sells for $500 or less...

I'd buy 4!!!! :eek: ---- :D
