Those are some great covers. Too bad ther is no Ebony again.

Should be a good run. The #72 is a nice pattern, and I think 2016 was the last run, so hopefully some folks who are newer to GEC will have a chance at one.

That's a nice looking knife. I don't have a need or want for any more single bladed patterns right now, so I'll pass and let others have a chance at it.

You're welcome, folks.

Glad to see the 72 up next. This is my one and only. Might have gotten lucky on the CK drop for a Sienna Bone. Not sure what that is…but it’s bone, so cool.

Oh man. Hard to pass up a nice clip point. I have never had one of their lockbacks before. Kinda excited.

Edit: Oops, typed too fast lol. Spear shield, clip blade - check

There are some in-progress pics on GEC’s site.

That looks like a pioneer bone from the Old Sheffield jack. Guess they got many left. Good for us though, for Tiddy with bone is not a frequent happening, especially such an unusual one. I personally don't really like that shield much, but at least that's not a bomb, yuk.

That is one of the best shields in the universe!

Maybe as far as Alpha Centauri, but come on, the Universe !

I'm looking forward to these ones. I would have been less enthused if they were being build with that fat spear - I almost hesitated when I mixed up the shield and blade text on the schedule .

I really like my jigged bone 83 but it is a tad small. I hope the NF jigged option is just as nice, if not more so.

Looks like an aerodynamic bomb to me!
72 seems like a very useful pattern, however it's dressed up!
(But I'll follow r8shell 's lead and leave the one the universe owes me for someone else.)

Is it a new bone finish? Or just a new name for it

I think pioneer bone is an old finish. They have been using it for a long time.

IIRC, I have seen that shield called a "hound's tooth".

Slight difference between the two.

Thanks for the correction, my memory isn't what it used to be

To be fair, I thought the same thing when I first saw it. And it’s not like GEC hasn’t used two different names to refer to the same thing before, like Draft Beer Acrylic…

…and Tiger Eye Acrylic.

Just like they're calling the keyhole shield on the Tidioute a "cloud."

I'm just going by their chart...

Production schedule says, “Burnt Sienna Natural Bone” so I’m curious if it’s the same
