I feel like that's happened a couple times... Red Neck branded GEC's come to mind.

I work in the south (mostly) and “yankee” is used in a derogatory way (to include me, living in Kentucky).
I have some relatives in Illinois who use the term “redneck” as a slander rather frequently and have told their children that I am their “hillbilly cousin from Kentucky “.
I get labeled/put in a box on both ends. More interesting than anything else. Cheers Ode

Folks would buy 1095 GEC ham sandwiches at this point.

What?? Where! Which vendor has them? Have they dropped yet? I didn't even get the reserve notice!!

New down the hall, I'm thinking the 38 will be named for a famous decoy carver?

But that's the picture from the Geppetto?

 

[chaininsomniac]

Well not much of a revelation then...unless...another configuration on the 38 with the clip?

So with the down the hall photo are we expected to get a run of 57s next?

I doubt it, the gentleman on facebook that pointed out that it was a Geppetto picture also pointed out that the file name was 38whit.

file name was 38whit

I think we can do better than that. How about #38 Trident Whittler. It’s has three blades and it’s the only knife my mom lets me chew.

 

[Joker758]

I feel like it might actually be the #57, Or maybe not This Abalone one looks good though!

My guess is they’re going to recycle the geppetto name on the 38’s.

That makes sense. I think they only used the Geppetto name on the wharncliffe version of the 57. The 38 will be a longer, more elegant whittler, but I love my stumpy 57 as is.

The #38 English Whittler...
Interesting. Connection to the seahorse Whittler?

she’s a beaut.

That's the one you've been waiting on isn't it? So nice.

 

[Travman]

Wow! Looking good.

Very much so. The wood really makes the whole thing pop, and I love the staggering size difference between the main and secondaries. This looks promising- I'm hoping it overcomes the shortcoming that the Case Seahorse Whittler has and I think it will because of the divided spring. The seahorse's secondaries actually briefly bend around the spine of the closed primary when opening and closing. I think there's only one way I'd ever land one of those, and I'd be relying on the kindness of strangers.

I like the looks of that Travman thanks for posting.

Dang, the English Whittler is looking good! I haven't been the biggest fan of the badge shield on all the recent releases, but I have to say it is about perfect for this knife.
