Lets talk GEC!

[stagmeister]

Imitation stag is such a throwback! I hope they put it on some Farm & Field knives. Total nostalgia!

Really? My guess is it's basically Delrin. That's what they put on $10 Schrade's. I guess they had a reason as there plenty of other materials they could've went with.

Having a GEC with factory Imitation Stag would make it pretty exclusive.

Yeah, but it predates modern Schrades. My first knife ever was imitation stag.
Sure, it’s not the expensive material we’ve come to expect from GEC, but it reminds me of my Uncle Henry’s, and sword brand knives.
The Delrin would fit right in with the Farm & Field line.

I love stag, but, like I said, would appreciate a quality modern knife with imitation stag for the nostalgia effect.

Exclusive -yes. Prestigious-NO. It's too nice a knife to have Uncle Henry plastic handles. Just my opinion I guess. I hope whoever wins them really enjoys them, and they bring in a lot of money for the cause.

Imitation stag (Staglon, I believe) was good enough for Marshall Dillon's peacekeeper on the streets of Dodge City for 20 years, I reckon it's good enough for me!

Too bad they aren't doing whole run; the F&F idea is a great one!

 

[JohnDF]

Prestigious-NO.

We would have to let the secondary market prices figure that out, but I'm guessing it will be VERY PRESTIGIOUS. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Anyone here going to the Rendezvous this year?

Anyone here going to the Rendezvous this year?

There were a few discussing that here: 'GEC Rendezvous 2022' https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/gec-rendezvous-2022.1832022/

 

[stagmeister]

Cool-Thanks. I'll flip over there.

yeah, the imitation stag hurts when it could have been something much more interesting.
But I guess "different" can be "interesting", too.

Either way, whoever wins that will stand to make a fortune when they sell it.

No news, my Love? A whole week gone by and not a peep for this thread?
I know you are ramping up for Rendevous, but still. For Pete's sake, Jiki is having to post in the daily carry thread!

GEC, we love you. We'll be here when you need our warm embrace. Forget us not. *swoons*

Jiki is having to post in the daily carry thread!

Lol...

 

[DKIN]

Don't get me wrong, I'm always super-stoked to see Jiki in the daily-carry thread.
I'm just pouting because GEC won't feed me pics/deets all the time. Wah-wah.

You didn't even know that I owned a Queen knife.

I think something big is coming, I feel it in my bones.

The schedule was updated today BTW. Not sure what changed besides the date.

NOOO! Say it ain't so! I thought you were pure.

C'mon big money!

I think they changed the number for the fish knife from 651122 to 651222.

I was wondering how that was going to work. Trying to sort out in my mind how you would put a degouger on a clip blade. Then I settled on maybe it would be like an sak tooth pick and slide out the side. This make more sense.
