Lets talk GEC!

[DocJekl]

ive seen folks pop it off the table edge and the more daring folks use their teeth

Is that the cap-on-cap technique? If so, I have always wondered how the last bottle gets opened.

I've learned to use my wedding ring to pop off bottle caps as a nice party trick.

What do you folks think, will GEC ever make an auto like Schrade's again? Maybe under their own trademark? Though it didn't have a pattern number, if I remember that correctly.

Wouldn't it just be so nice if they could just give a production schedule update? Its less of a production schedule and more of a "we mailed these out 2 days ago" lol.

Oh the blue thing is a tent! Great minds think alike - the #98 is titled the '#98 TEXAS CAMP, WHITTLER & CATTLE KNIFE'.. there's 3-4 cows/tents in the picture and 3/4 blades possible in the configuration..

A #98 Texas Camp knife would be awesome!

I read somewhere that a new pattern for the camp knife was hinted. Possibly bs…..we shall see.

Don't focus on the details too much. What I've understood is that they seem to want us to get the general message.

And for me tent means something like scout knife. Maybe a "non-beer scout" at last?

I was thinking that too. But I thought they said they would not do them anymore?

That was my understanding too. Guess I was just thinking out loud.

I'm hoping for #53 cattle knife followed by #53 single spring two blade knives

Au contraire my friend, what better time for wild speculation? Lets look closer at the depicted items to see what else we can uncover:

- A Blue Tent: Clearly this points towards the cover material being fabric based - canvas or linen micarta in blue? I can't buy tents made of bone (legally) and I'm pretty sure a tent made out of wood is just a bad house. BCM/BLM confirmed.
- The Three Longhorns: According to wikipedia, the distance between the tips of a longhorn horn can be over 8 feet. As you have already surmised, this means the new offering must be at least 8" open.

Lastly, as we all know longhorn steers can grow up to 1500lbs. And how many people should realistically share a tent? Two! 1500/2 = 750 units to be produced.

It is so obvious, I'm even going to insult your intelligence by telling you what it is.

#35 Kamp King. It would be fantastic

My guess is a 54 camp/scout knife. In American cattle bone. And blue denim micarta.

 

[Coyja]

54 Camp Knife is also my guess and I'd love to have a GEC camp knife.

 

[zerp guy]

Is this really going to happen? I have been waiting for that exact scene at the end of the hall forever

 

[JohnDF]

These days, campers sleep in trailers and homeless people sleep in tents... I call a hobo knife.
