Lets talk GEC!

The reason I suggested a sticky for these lists is because when I try using the search function, it works, but only partially. Sure, it brings up threads containing the relevant information but it doesn't point you to the page that it's on. This thread is nearly 150 pages long at this point and there's been a lot of discussion about very different things here. Reviews have been posted about various knives, what's coming out, different opinions, etc.

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm investigating a particular knife, I don't want to sift through 150 pages for one post. It takes quite a while. I've done it a few times on this thread.

Ultimately, asking a dealer to keep the information on their site would probably be the best solution, given the popularity of the idea here.

I'm subscribed to lots of threads too. The only issue with that is that for a newbie, it may be difficult to find some of this stuff because they weren't here a year or two years ago. My suggestion was only meant to make it easier to spread the wealth of knowledge contained here more easily.

I suppose one could copy & paste the info to a notepad page and store in a documents file. Just a suggestion.

Modoc ED · May 13, 2015

That's not a bad idea either. Then all you have to do is go to the file, do corrections/edits, or print a copy. I do that with some items that interest me long term.

We've already got 8 stickies on page one of the forum. When the Forum Knife gets in full swing, there will probably be another one or two stickies for it.

I agree with Steve that the search function can be quirky at times. But, just a reminder, once you've located a thread of interest, you can search within that specific thread, too. I've found that to be a real time-saver in searches.

I have no problem updating the original posts on this thread and the group pic thread(if needed). Ill search out the links when I have some time and update y'all when im done.

Back to knife talk...

I've been looking through the previous production at the GEC site, but I realize that not everything is shown there (like the SFOs.) So my question: has there ever been a GEC made with a spey primary and a sheepsfoot secondary? That would be my ideal knife, but I haven't yet found it.

(Yes, I know it's odd. I'm just that kind of a guy.)

fatcorgi · May 13, 2015

There are some #73s with spey primaries and pen secondaries, you could refashion the pen into a sheepsfoot with some patience. Same with the Barlows, but those would be hard to find now. Otherwise I don't think there were any made with this configuration.

2Dead · May 13, 2015

I measured a few that I had that were missing. I would say these numbers are accurate to at least 1/16". Many of the ones I measured were users but I don't believe I've sharpened any so heavily. I also want to remind everyone that these are also sharpened at GEC by a human and automatic equipment so that could also affect length measurements.

I've got all of the new information on blade length added to the spreadsheet. Anyone who wants a copy can PM me, at least until I can figure out how to get it formatted to look good in a forum post!

daizee · May 13, 2015

Oh WOW, Python and 2Dead! That's fantastic info, and super helpful. I can confirm the measurement on my new #15 at just shy of 2.75" (using a tape for a ballpark figure).

Hunh?

We were trying to make a list of lengths, closed and opened.... good idea but in hindsight it looks like a confusing mess to me...

I'm just going to focus on closed length for the future.

Thanks to everyone who spent hours organizing it.

Welcome, and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

TY for the Welcome.

I like the lists of GEC patterns and blades.
I'm searching for the right GEC for me and am curious as to where does the "83" fall in that list?

There are some #73s with spey primaries and pen secondaries, you could refashion the pen into a sheepsfoot with some patience. Same with the Barlows, but those would be hard to find now. Otherwise I don't think there were any made with this configuration.

Darn...a#68 with a spey main, sheepsfoot secondary and a bail with stag scales would push all of my buttons!

Well, no one has them in hand yet as they won't be out for a few months but based on GEC's diagram, you're looking at 3.36" closed and a 2.64" blade.

Ok, I had a little time this morning but then spent more time than I wanted to

How's this list using the built in table function? Should I replace the list in the halfstop thread with this?
