Lets talk GEC!

[Quiet]

This has been posted elsewhere, but thought it should be in the GEC thread as well.

FINALLY!! With the most gracious help of Mike Latham (knifeswapper), this week I added the last two pieces to my GEC #53 Cuban Stockman collection. Thirteen years it took me to gather up one each of the 53 different handle variations, many of which were only made in single digits. The knives are displayed from top down and then by columns, in the same order as they are listed in the GEC production totals.

Thank you again, Mike, you've made me very happy to achieve such a long-term goal.

Absolutely phenomenal!! And also, inadvertently a somewhat sad sign of the times. Back in the late oughts, GEC sure had no issue using a ton of fun beautiful, unique acrylics! These days, with their small runs, it seems we might not see those days again. Thank you for sharing, a real piece of history right here.

i am still hoping that the Tombstone shield is for the Club SFO
and the UN-X-LD shield for the non-sfo-NF run.

Im usually not too picky on shields, but on this one I'm glad I reserved the bloodwood, the tombstone looks a little odd to me, im sure theyll still get snatched up anyway!

That is not a tomb stone, it is a paladin shield. You can tell because it is pointy at the bottom of the curves.

Do you think they are going to etch the English cross into it? That would look fantastic.

Club SFO. What club?

I'll be honest this one had me wondering what the hell was going on with these shields but I think you hit on exactly what the answer is. I mean it says right in the shield column Un-X-Ld so they must be for the Club knife. Good catch Jokr.

I don't believe this is a "club" knife. I do know that it is not finished though.

I heard GEC is going to use a laser to etch the Lord’s Prayer on to the paladin shield in teeny tiny letters.

I think it looks great and am starting to regret my choice of picking “notify” instead of “sure” on the early reserves haha.

I’m not sure there’s much point in selecting “notify” any more (unless you’d like the to be notified that they all sold out to the folks who selected “sure.”)

My cousin that works there said it's actually a push button for GEC's first auto knife. Two versions are being released. Both have a tiny comb that pops out. One for ear hair, one for nose hair. I hope he doesn't get in trouble for releasing this info. The "Listen Jack", and the "Nosey Jack". Already sold out.

I know you are just joking, because it would not be GEC's first auto knife.

My Father's Brother's Nephew's Cousin's former roommate once drove past Titusville and she says the next run is 1095 boxcutters, labeled "for cardboard only".

This will teach you guys not to complain about the hot dog shield.

I was just thinking, "at least gimme the hotdog shield over that thing..."

 

[traumkommode]

But it sounds like they're doing something to the shield, so it won't stay like that. Thank goodness, because the rest of the knife looks great.
