Lets talk GEC!

Here's an image I found on AAPK of a similar shaped shield that Schrade put on a knife for FFA. This was in the vein of my wishful thinking, but we've never seen them come back and add engraving after assembly. The shields always get pinned having already been stamped.

I think the "coat of arms" is the path that they are on, however you are correct once assembled there will be very little if any changes.

I’m probably wrong, but when I try to zoom in on the shield shield, it looks like something had been blurred out. Perhaps there already is some engraving there and they are simply masking it for suspense. Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing what’s to come!

Too much about shields. Not enough about yarnell. Think it'll finally end up in in the bottom right space?

That's reserved for either the wrench or some other food... cheeseburger maybe, to go along with the coke bottle and hot dog

I think you mean fries, right?

Hoping the next run will be a lockback. 72 or maybe 83

is that spear a 72?! That is a VERY good looking knife. That thing looks like you could take a deer apart with it.

If you don’t like the coat of arms shield, lego makes a lot of stickers for their pieces that will fit on the shield for you guys.

Why yes, yes I did.

Flip this french fry box upside down. Look familiar?

I dub thee French Fry Box shield!

I think you are absolutely right about this. They're playing tricks. There is something on those shields. The shields are almost white, and completely uniform in the pics, no sheen of metal. Definitely photo-shopped

Here is a photo of the bloodwood...

I think you are all missing the obvious...
It is quite obviously the new GEC Back Pocket Knife.
Complete with Back Pocket Shield.

Maybe the shields on the wood handled knives are satin finished to match the bolsters.

My guess at shield design is there's a big X in the middle with the other letters unXld around it. If that makes sense. That's what I'm imagining here.

Got this URBAN JACK in today. Had to pick one up for mustache care haha

Sarcastic Camillus comb comment in t-10... 9...

I don’t know folks- I think what we see is what we get regarding the Northfield shield. I don’t know why they’d hold back, unless it’s just for laughs. If they wanted to keep the shield a secret I think they’d take pains to obstruct our view of it in all photos, and thus make the kettle boil faster with obvious obfuscation.

Sometimes I think this thread is akin to a group of ghost hunters with Camillus chiming in every few days to comment on combs.

My guess is those are just white stickers on the actual knives. Seems more practical.
