Lets talk GEC!

First rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club the second rule of Fight Club ....

Membership in the Secret Squirrel GEC Collector's Cadre of Death allows me certain latitudes.

For my wallets sake I hope it's not a bull buster because I'd want to buy every variation. I'm a sucker for the sod buster patterns

Are you guys sure that this is a bull? It kind of looks like a heifer--something a farmer or a livestock man would own. And it is wearing some sort of blanket or cape; perhaps leather?

Stacked leather stockman, y'all!

That is a Hereford steer. We'll never figure it out. But another guess could be another 86 like the Angus. Maybe a single blade this time like many were hoping for.

Wow - reading the mixed reactions here, I may actually have a chance of getting one of these!

But yeah, probably not.

In 2013, Stag was still getting a shield; by 2017 the shields were gone!! Not bad stag back then!!

Agreed, Charlie, I really like the one I was blessed enough to get.

What are we fighting over? If it's the bull buster, I'm out. If it's the 36's, I already have my reservations. I asked Joan Mae today if they were going to follow with NF 36's, and she said Bill hasn't decided yet, so we may or may not have more varieties to contemplate.

waynorth , I am one of those who was disappointed when GEC stopped adding shields to Stag. Thankfully, I can enjoy this Stag Barlow, since a shield would not be appropriate anyway.

Got the goat of the run so far there Greg.

Well, it's definitely a Hereford.
As far as if he's intact or not, that's hard to tell without a view from the back end.

Wow, that's some uplifting info, man! Thanks! Is that possible that they make NF 36's with regular spear blade? Or variations are always in covers and nail nick/long pull options only?

Lord I hope so. Was really happy to try a sunfish. When I seen the photos of the “toenail clipper” I really was crushed. There’s hope.

Same here, man. Let's just hope...

 

[black mamba]

Tons of character, Greg, and both sides so well matched, too! Big congrats!

I welcome the toenail clipper. I love the uniqueness.

Such a talent.

No stag yet, but still looking.
