Beautiful knife.I would love to see a new 81 run in the near future. Hoping for a stockman!View attachment 1908196
Iām glad Iām not the only one who thought something similar given the name. I have no idea what the actual slip will look like, but Iād bet your design would out-sell it 2 to 1. Better trademark that puppyā¦.Based on an association with the term āJohnny on the Spotā thatPointyThings pointed out earlier in the thread (which had occurred to me as well when the name was first announced), I went ahead and put together a mock-up for what the special leather slip could look like. This is, of course, just a rough mock-up. I imagine they would cut the leather more to match the shape of the design, and the design would be stamped into the leather (unfortunately, making it look that way in the mock-up is beyond my abilities).

Personally, I think this would be the #1 coolest pocket slip design GEC has done. Maybe #2.
I had the same thought, but apparently they haven't. . .yet.since itās National knife day we get a production update.
I know the feeling - in my thumbLike to report that after flushing the joint of my new 85 crownlifter and working it open and close 1,475,378 times the caplifter no longer wants to murder my nail.

They do take some time to get broken in.Like to report that after flushing the joint of my new 85 crownlifter and working it open and close 1,475,378 times the caplifter no longer wants to murder my nail.
My 71 was like this. I literally just wrapped the cap lifer in a rag, flushed the joint, and opened and closed back and forth for a few minutes. Not all the way closed, but all the way open and passed the half stop. Worked really well.Like to report that after flushing the joint of my new 85 crownlifter and working it open and close 1,475,378 times the caplifter no longer wants to murder my nail.
I tend to really gravitate towards smaller knives in natural materials too. Itās just what I end up carrying most. They disappear in the pocket and go great in the 5th pocket. I think the only āsmallā pattern I donāt have yet is the 09 but Iām on the search. Donāt get my wrong for every small knife I have a big knife and then some, but they donāt get the same pocket time.I tend to go for the smaller ones in jigged Bone
Send it my way...I want your nail to be safeNope, still wants my nail dead.
Barrel wood covers? Raccoon acrylic (black, white, gray)? Bunny knife pattern as a raccoon skinner with barrel wood covers?.. Wait, barrels... gunpowder... gunstock jack with raccoon acrylic?
I just don't get that photo behind, what is it, some barrels near a porch of a cabin?
