Interesting, and useful take on the Sowbelly!!
Bill can do a version of a traditional that has a new twist!!

secondary lambsfoot blade? yeah baby

 

[Angry Angus]

Kind of curious that their pattern number designates that main blade as a regular clip. Looks more like a muskrat clip to me. I guess it could be a scaled down version of the clip they put on the 74 Stallions awhile back.

According to GEC's tang number chart, the "8" is a muskrat clip.

Very nice, excited about this one, hoping to also see a a third blade added to this frame.

Well, been asking for a Sowbelly as others have. I like what Bill has done here. Put his own twist on it

According to GEC's tang number chart, the "8" is a muskrat clip.

That is why I am curious about their pattern number - it doesn't look like a regular clip to me, yet it is designated as one.

I'm liking the new pattern, I've been trying to get my hands on a lambsfoot for a while so I might have to join the rat race to get one of these.

 

[Agent Orange Peel]

Oh man. I am excited for this one! I actually don't have a sowbelly yet. Looks like a nice size too.

 

[Travman]

I am very happy that GEC is coming out with a sowbelly. I hope it has lined bolsters and a nice shield to dress it up like the Winchester Sowbellies. Otherwise the pattern looks a little ungainly.

With the first blade being a muskrat clip, the main blade doesn’t interfere with the secondary blade nail nick.

I've been waiting for this one for years! I'd take one in every handle material if I could, but will pray that I just get at least one. Great blade combo, great frame pattern, and my favorite size.

Never mind, it looks like GEC corrected their rendering - they changed it from 881222 to 888222.

Though I like it immensely, it also strikes me as Bill having a bit of fun. Hasn't he not only been resistant to making a Lambsfoot in the past but also to making a Sowbelly? Now we seem them married as one - can't simply be coincidence.

The long lambsfoot defeats the purpose of the serpentine frame in my opinion. Still going to try and get one though.

 

[Kiteman72]

It's so crazy looking, I would swear it was the final result of about 9 polls as voted on for the 2022 BF Forum Knife.

 

[Johnnythefox]

This is one of the best you can get.

I could not make it to the Rendezvous this year, marking GEC's 15th year, but a serendipitous trade brought me a taste of the celebration!!

Love both nicks on the same side..... It can be heavily sprung on the Lambsfoot with the nick so far forward..... Even a deteriorating old geezer like myself can whip it open with aplomb......
