Lets talk GEC!

Uncle Sam with one arm behind his back - one armed opener?

Someone told me it's a Casio keyboard. So maybe we're getting a knife with a flip out flashlight this time around?

A little keyboard would make more sense to me as it would have an ebony and ivory keyboard. Whatever he's playing, maybe he's just jamming with Paul and Stevie to show that the world can live in perfect harmony as the song lyrics imply.

Who the heck knows? Maybe they're just trying to twist our minds so we buy more knives.

I wish they'd bring out another Medium Stockman run.

In which case they would have to do larger runs

Getting one would be the tricky bit my learned friend.

I bet they'll do one sometime this year. It's about due. I guess depending on what you consider medium.

Any stag experts out there? I understand sambar is difficult/expensive to acquire. Is there a reason why elk handles seem to be much more rare?

I'm not an expert, but i'd venture a guess that stag looks more interesting on smaller knives, and elk brings enough interest to a big fixed blade handle.

It's not more rare, just not as desirable. My dogs bones are elk antlers you can get from pet stores.

So true, but I've grown a bit bored by all the Jacks they've done lately.
I'd need something different to get me excited about the brand again... not just another Barlow.

I'd love to see one made on the #76 pattern, but an Equal End Cattle Knife would be cool too... #35 maybe?
Of course another run of the #66 would be fine, especially if they get the pulls right this time.

Yes, I would go for a 66 if the pulls and W&T were sufficient. The one I have from 2017 may as well be a friction folder.

When will we know the real answer??

Oops.

I've seen some stunning examples of elk handles on GECs, but I get your point.
