If you could design your own GEC SFO

this knife...


and this knife with a sheepfoot instead of the spey blade...


both with this shield and bone covers...
shutup and take my money!!!
 
Hanging around these parts of the forum is hurtful to my wallet. ☺

I would continue to hurt the wallet with:
85 bullet end EO single spear
77 Barlow single warncliffe

440c, 1095, covers: doesn't matter to me, more options the merrier (and broker).
 
I would love to see some more TC barlows with single spear and other bone cover options. Well, I can dream, right?
Although, if I ever find the red bone TC barlow with single spear I'm searching for, I may be able to die happy...:D

These sold on the forums a while back. They are as nice as your wildest dreams can imagine. I bought 'em. :D

My OP had me thinking and I'm not sure where else to put this, but is there any knife out there with a nice fat spear blade (like an 85) and a wharncliffe?
 
Something like these.....

Swell Center "Coke Bottle" Hunting Knife, 5 inches closed

This would be THE one I'd most like to see made

I'd also really like to see GEC do a proper Scout pattern. LPSpear main, cap lifter, awl, bail, and maybe a little clip or coping secondary blade. I could do without the can opener. Chestnut Jigged bone with a bowtie or propeller shield please.

 
Mea culpa, terminology mistake from a new convert. I said "85 bullet end, satin spear, white bone, frame lock." Should have specified 'lockback.'
 
Sounds like I'm not alone in my desire for another run of 85s.

You have plenty of company. The 85 is the pattern I'd most like to see produced again... followed closely by the 62 Courthouse Whittler. SFO or otherwise.
 
I would love to see single blade clips pinchable, 74 frame or 73, even if the blade wasn't proud and had a long pull, I don't know why a pin placement couldn't be moved to make an EO clip blade. I love brass with stag or brown bone otherwise ALL STEEL PLEASE. 77 barlows single clips pinchable, perhaps an old ivory sawcut white cascading into black bone on the sawcut area and beyond. Sorta just had diarrhea of the mouth there, but all of this sounds amazing!
 
I'd do a 76 Gunstock with a single spey blade with a nice long pull and swedge, slanted & pinched bolsters with rotten banana bone covers. Cloud or diamond shield with satin finished blade & bolsters.
 
I'd be interested in a single blade/ or 2 blade (not spatula) Dr.s knife. Not much love for the Doctor's knife.
