Lets talk GEC!

I still think we're overdue for the #14 Sheepfoot. Perhaps 2023 will start off with a Boys Knife Barlow.

Sounds ideal. All the best for the New Year, have a good un'.

Two beautiful clip points for the 1st of the new year.

I wonder if this is another clue that there are Yankee Barlow's on the way. They have been listed on the 2021 Release list for quite a while though - I always assumed it was a typo but maybe not ...

 

[AZCoyote]

?? Not aware of that. What is that all about?

I dont believe the Garnet Bone Liberty is a CK exclusive i just saw the CK message go out so thought the B would stand for bone on the liberty. GEC also has it on their schedule. But there is also a good chance I'm wrong and we see a Yankee barlow. Only time will tell, but speculating is fun.

My prediction for this year: A spear and pen Magnum.

I would be a little surprised if Mr. Howard passes up the opportunity for a 222222 tang stamp number.

Yankee Barlow
period

Hopefully the warhorse configuration.

That would be cool. Especially if we had to wait 11 years for the 333333.

That would be cool. Especially if we had to wait 11 years for the 333333.

And only Vitronox would do a 999999. And I won't be around.

And what exactly would a 222222 be?

 

[MililaniGrown]

And what exactly would a 222222 be?

A 2 blade #22 with a spear main

 

[Angry Angus]

And what exactly would a 222222 be?

$22 would be even cooler.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

has GEC ever made a stainless 71?

i was thinking that it would be a really good outdoors and garden knife in stainless.

 

[NewBlades16]

$22 would be even cooler.

God no! That would be a dagger in my heart. Please let it be a one blade clip.

Unfortunately, Randy Bell has put that rumor to rest a while back on another social slipjoint outlet. You never know though, maybe he’s trying to throw us off.

What time did Randy post? You know what happens later in the day.

I had no idea that my desert ironwood 47 was 1/14. Is that right?? I just liked the look of it and got a decent deal on the secondary market.
e: Oh I see it is leftover from the previous year ~350 made in 2020

GEC was cranking them out this year!!

 

[Pàdruig]

Some of those patterns/variants had well over a 1000 made - Cocobolo 68s (1080), Dark Brewed 83s (1028), Micarta 71s (both over 1000), Remington (2596).

Seems their plan of releasing less variants so that they could make more of a single pattern is starting to pan out for them.
