I got a pretty firm denial about the rumored 47s when I asked this question directly. The exact phrasing was "DEFINITELY scrapped."
I'd still love to see it happen.

We will see, no telling with GEC.

A minor miracle I'd think.

I have to agree with you. I recently acquired this one; GEC really got this knife right when they made it.Just want to acknowledge what a great acheivement for GEC to pull out a knife like this in the midst of a pandemic. Great job!

Well I found it in GECs production total page under the Northfield section. I’m thinking it might have snuck in there because I can’t seem to be able to find any Northfields in primitive bone.
It also seems to be a rendezvous knife, so maybe that has something to do with it?
There’s also been a couple past sales with the 47 claim, for what it’s worth.

What’s the story on the 38 special? I don’t understand why all these other GEC releases sell out in seconds, but those 38 special knives (and a few other models) are available at many dealers and look to have been released a while ago. They look just as nice as the other releases to me.
I’m new at this if that’s not obvious.

Knife knuts are a fickle bunch... I like the looks of the 38's, if they had some two blade versions like say, with a pen blade, I would be all over them...What’s the story on the 38 special?

It’s been discussed a bit before but some of us find the ergonomics wrong - basically you can’t place any blade shape on any end of any knife frame and get great results each time.
having said that, its a perfectly acceptable knife. It only suffers in comparison to its more effective cousins.

Thanks Mcar.
I need help identifying this GEC. A recent Ebay purchase. In really bad condition. It has no year stamp on the tang.
It sure looks like a #23, but when I looked through GEC's entire lineup I couldn't find anything produced with those covers on a Tidioute #23 frame (or any of the similar patterns for that matter).
