Lets talk GEC!

I gotta think they could come up with a better depiction of stockmen or cattlemen.

Ya, nothing in that picture makes me think of Stockman or Buckaroo...
Except one guy wearing a hat that could be considered a cowboy hat.
I was thinking the picture was more focussed on the vintage bar scene and the piano.

 

[JohnDF]

Although, I would mind another #76...

I see a bar on the right and the two gentlemen sitting are at a poker or card table.

Oh, I don' know why i thought piano.

 

[flylock]

a 76 pattern with 3 or 4 blades, slanted bolsters. maybe a punch blade whittler yet. or the 4 blade as a fancy scout /camp knife. excuse me while I daydream.

Is the second guy from the right (reflected in mirror) holding a cup of tea at a bar?

Nice find.
So, perhaps a Tavern Knife with a California Clip, Cap Lifter, and Cork Screw.

GEC mirrored the image in their hallway pic.

What kind of implements are needed for a western outlaw tavern knife?

 

[JTB_5]

Instead of a caplifter it will have a cocktail mixing spoon and a lighter.

Left handed?

 

[Elgatodeacero]

Everyone and everything in that picture is dirty with the dust of 300 miles, but everyone has a sparkling white shirt?

 

[Will Power]

Plenty of sawdust or is it blood or spittle on the floor...that blind type at the bar is staring at the camera...

Next pattern name - GEC Roughhouse It won't be Flophouse anyway

 

[RobbW]

Saloon setting makes me think of #83, Tascosa!

 

[BDubbs]

maybe something new, nothing in the photo screams cattle or ranch, more like social gathering/bar….

I believe that is Bernie from “Weekend at Bernie’s”.

 

[mrknife]

its all just a red herring, its gonna be 15 single clips with end caps

Then they could do a fancy one and call it the Penthouse.

Oh man, that's some disturbing news.


Well, if you collect only to look and admire, and not to touch and, err... operate with, then yes.


Not really. I see what you mean here, but look, to be called of a good quality a traditional pocket knife should have no gaps, no blade play, smooth corners, sharp blade, and overall built precisely. Well, every knife, not only traditional and not necessarily a folding one. Isn't that right?

Absolutely agree. I love my GECs, but have several with poor QC. The only ones I ever received that were sharp were the 36 run from 22. My 83 was more like Case quality, blade play up and down and sideways. Usable as a gent's knife, but not for daily use. Several others that had issues with fit and finish, thankfully blades were perfect.
