I agree it looks good with some patina but sucks to shard your pants if ya only meant to fart

Yeah, and now I’m afraid I may have just peed my pants reading that, thanks a lot fishin!

I have an admittedly strange question, but I'm strange and I can think of no more knowledgeable group to ask than the folks here.

Has GEC ever made a multiblade knife where the blades were of different metals - say 1095 and some kind of stainless? I'm thinking something like that might come in useful for long term carry, with the SS blade maybe holding its edge longer but taking more time and effort to resharpen, while the 1095 might need more frequent resharpening but could be resharpened more quicly and easily.

TIA!

I don't think GEC has, but Case did their 54 trappers in CV and Tru-sharp, with one blade marked "For Flesh Only." I can't remember if it was the stainless or carbon one.

Case also makes a stockman with CV blades and a stainless punch...

Thx. Gotta hunt down one.

That makes a lot of sense to me.

This run is going to be epic.

Not to take away from the Barlow talk but I did just get in a user #18 - I had forgotten that the #19 is a reversed #18. Pretty cool little knife - barehead, hound tooth shield, Osage and it also came with a cool Coyote button.

That's some fine looking osage.

According to Randy they are not an exact flip. He tried but had to adjust the 19 a smidge to make it work.

Interesting. I am curious where the tweaks are - lining up the frames with the blades out, I am having a hard time seeing where the differences are. I wonder if they are internal.

I agree it's hard to spot with the make eye. I will ask him some time.

He had to move the holes to fit the blade correctly. Something not usually required to reverse a frame. The small size and shape made it necessary.

Thank you for the update. I was wondering if that might have been the case.

I sure would love to see a round of the 98's again. We all dream.

That would be amazing.

Do 2 versions like the 68s, a Pony Jack, or Clydesdale Jack and a White Owl/TK Cuban setup a true Jumbo Pen knife.

The osage 18 is a handsome knife, handy too I imagine. That one would see a lot of time in the watch pocket were it in my collection. Nice pick-up, Dylan.
