Lets talk GEC!

[sf fanatic]

That one's right up my alley ...

Man, that’s sweet and then some

 

[Viper84]

Anyone else see a baby lambsfoot #49 in the future?

GEC made no effort to match those covers. This is outrageous!

 

[Fixall]

Easy pass for me. I just can't bring myself to buy a commercial product sporting the stars and stripes. To me, it's always just felt grimy to profit off of patriotism. Meh, my wallet could use a break anyways. With my luck, they blindside us with some different cover options I won't be able to resist, lol.

I'm really liking the pattern parity GEC has been doing though. #49/#94, #68/#86, #47/#74, etc. I wonder how long they'll keep it up. They starting to run out of interesting pairs, lol. I've noticed there are several numbers not yet added to their inventory numbering system though, like a #41. It'd be pretty cool to see a #14 with a new surprise #41 pattern or something pop up.

There was that run of 89s.


Make with the 98s already!

Hello,
I'm sure that question has been asked 1000 times but ????

Are the woods uses by GEC stabilized or natural ?

Thanks .

wow 2 new patterns added to the schedule
both the 94 and 49 are small for my old beat up hands to handle and use
I'll try and get the 94 liberty go USA for my collection the 49 sheepfoot is not for me
hopefully the small size might keep these on the shelf for dealers to display and maybe I'll land one

 

[Texoma]

do you all think these 94 and 49 will sit or fly off the shelf

Tend to agree. Even though I'm not American, and thus have no strong feelings about the Stars & Stripes, I think it kitsch to put national symbols on knife scales, like some tourist souvenir thing, leave that to CASE and their 'themed' horrors

But, some decent high polish Micarta would suit a small knife like this down to the ground in my view.

More options for the 49 & 94 patterns. Put me down for a Northfield UN-X-LD Camel bone 94. I do hope it is a bright color and well dyed. I’d like to see a bright Emerald green.

 

[J.Mattson]

Green would be cool.

 

[Rhinofly]

Green would be cool.

Agreed. I would like some green camel on the small sheepfoot knife. But it will be interesting to see if they go with colors other than red, white or blue here.

I think the flag covers will be slower to move, but the natural covers will be sold out and on the bay for $250 within a day. I would guess the flag covers will be $25 cheaper.

This is how I like my stag

Also. I had thought the White owl being a similar pattern to this 33 would be a winner and could be a close contender to the 33 it just doesn’t do it. And although I do like the white owl, I still much prefer the 33.

I have to agree with you that the 33's are a very nice knife , especially your Stag ones . I like the texture on yours better than mine but since I do not have any White Owls yet , I can not make that comparison between White Owls and 33's .

GEC is pretty thrifty, so my guess is blue camel bone!

GEC Camel Bone

Probably too much work but they could dip one end into red and the other into blue... though I hope this isn't the case. Or mismatch red on one side, blue on the other, with a star shield

 

[Angry Angus]

I was thinking maybe black or a deep brown. Something they haven't done in awhile. Bazooka bubble gum pink?

 

[Angry Angus]

They could do booger green and I'd buy it.

I am American and sometimes the Stars and Stripes on products can be a bit much. There’s a definite “ownership” of certain patriotic symbols by certain political groups and it can get weird when my beliefs don’t all line up with that. Either way though, I’m getting one at least. But I wish they’d had matching Stars and Stripes covers. The we the people on the flip side definitely feels Case-y to me.
