Lets talk GEC!

[Heimdall82]

Does anyone have any idea what's coming after the Pony Jacks?

No idea! Can't wait to see what's next! i'm looking on GEC page every hour! Maybe the H10 we have seen in picture a month ago? The #68 PJ looks complete and ready to ship, so it's kinda weird to see no update at all since Sept 23th, i mean not even a "What's next" on the cover so far. Maybe it will be the only #68 on the batch, but in bigger quantity?

According to Joan Mae, the 68's will start shipping today. I'd imagine once they're released, we'll see an update on what's next.

Whatever is next should be well off at this point. From what I’ve noticed in the last year, production schedule updates were happening at 9am earlier in the year. Then seemed to be 3pm lately. A run of #36 would make me a happy man.

Does anyone know for sure? When they do a knife with a 440C blade, is the back spring 440C as well, or do they just use 1095 for that?

GEC​

With our two other brands, “NORTHFIELD UN-X-LD and TIDIOUTE CUTLERY”, our emphasis is on making knives much like those made during the golden age of pocket knives, the early 1900’s. They are made using mostly very traditional handle materials with blades made from 1095 carbon steel, quite often referred to as “your grand dads steel”. When properly heat treated and ground, 1095 carbon steel will produce a very tough blade of high polish that will easily take and hold an extremely keen edge. But it will always have one drawback. It will stain and rust. That is not a problem for many but to satisfy the need for a knife that will not stain and rust we have our Great Eastern Cutlery line of knives with blades and springs made of stainless steel. This brand, also made in classic pocket knife designs and of exceptional craftsmanship, has blades of 440C stainless Steel. It was not until the 1950’s when stainless steel started catching on with pocket knife manufacturers and consumers. 440C stainless was one of the first stainless blade steels designed for the cutlery market. It is still being used and is still one of the very best stainless cutlery steels. It attains a very high hardness when heat treated. With it’s blend of alloys that make it exceptionally tough, it can be brought to an edge easier that tool steels and can be mirror polished as good as any, and will not rust. We try to keep our Great Eastern Cutlery knives as All American as possible by using American cattle bone, American elk antlers and American hardwood for handle materials. They are easily recognizable with the Great Eastern Cutlery acorn shield.​

If they do white owls I’ll want one. I was hoping they would do something I’m not interested in

Lol, I had to go look, just to make sure you didn’t use MS Paint to erase that outline!

Gonna be pretty happy if they do some owls, I’ve wanted one since before I got my first GEC!

 

[rcs86]

I'm very excited right now! Has been on my want list for a while!

 

[MililaniGrown]

What draws people to white owls? Is it the size? Haven't had or handled one before but they come up often as topics of conversation and/or on want lists.

Does anyone have any idea what's coming after the Pony Jacks?

No, but my guess is they are doing other 68s, and that's the reason we're only seeing the one cover for pony jacks. Sort of like they did ebony angus jacks and then did a bigger release of barlows on the 86s. My crystal ball (aka daydreaming) says white owls will be the 'barlows' of this 68 run, with multiple covers.

Nice size, equal end, single spring does it for me.

For me it will come down to whether it has the bail or not.

They also haven't done one in quite some time. With such a span of time between production ones of a single pattern, it drives up the interest considerably.

Bail, shared spring, equal end, and 3 1/2", chef's kiss, edit to add pinched bolsters, really the NF version is where all the love is had!
