I kinda like the shape of the Hound's tooth, what is the closed length?
Thanks, Dave
 
Had they offered it in Barehead, then it could take on CASE's SBJ....

I like the unusual look of the Hound's Tooth, hopefully it's quite slim?
 
Now, there's a great mail day!

Dave, if and when you can, could you please take a picture of these two knives side-by-side with their frames oriented exactly the same way? I realize that means one of the knives won't be in its "proper" orientation, but I'd like to better visualize how these two patterns make use of the same frame, compare their closed profiles, etc.

Thanks!

Sarah, you really should apply for a position at GEC. You think the same way they do. :D Does anybody know which knife the wharncliffe comes from? Would it perchance be the same blade as in our BF knife? See, Sarah, we need an insider to keep us up on all of this.

I so loved my time there this July (and their knives ;)), I'd be there in a heartbeat if I had as much skill as enthusiasm. And, er, if they'd 'ave me. :)

I'm anxiously waiting for the Houndtooth with a secondary blade too :)
I love how the curved stripes of the ebony kind of match the handle shape. Enjoy the Geppetto, it is a very cool little thing (my favourite blade combination so far, small clip blades are used far too seldom).
If you have the time and willingness, I would love to see a pic of the closed Houndtooth to see how far the blade sticks out.
 
Ok more pics. I just realized that both frames are the SAME! The Hound Tooth is quite slim and a nice easy carry. Im carrying both today.

The Geppetto is serialized which I didnt want but it was all they had. Its #8 of 25! and a PPP to boot! Makes me more reluctant to use it, thats why I wanted an unmarked knife but oh well!

Mine just came in too! Is it just me, or were there very few of these produced (non-lock redbone)? It seems they disappeared from dealers rather quickly. AKADAVE, I've got the same pair (well, my Gepetto is a Half-Whit), and didn't see the similarity til you posted 'em. I have to say, I really prefer the set-up with the main on the thin end. Much more aesthetic to my hand and eyes. How's the jigging on yours? My finger tips found some small sharp snags/chips in the jigging. No biggie at all, and took some 600 grit to it and all's well : )

You know, I noticed the small chips and roughness of the jigging as well. My only complaint really and some judicious pocket carry will smooth that out but I actually had a small sliver come off in my hand and stuck me pretty good. Tiny piece and Im not going to sweat it.

If nothing else, that confirms that you like this frame shape, every which way. :-)

I really like the looks of the Gepetto, PPP and all. I hope you let it get its hands dirty soon, so to speak.

This is the comparison shot I was hoping for:
