Lets talk GEC!

Lately, it seems that I refer to anything under 3" closed as either "delicate," "dainty," "petite," or "lovely for a garden party."

The more I peruse the early GEC archives, the more I feel I missed the great old days of unapologetically massive pocket pigs. When I carry a knife, I want to know it's still there without any rooting around in, or patting down, my pockets. If I wanted a pat-down, I'd go find a TSA agent.

Where are the 23s, the 45s, the 46s, the 81s, the 98s? I feel the closest we've gotten lately was the Remington Granddaddy Barlow.

If they'd just bring the big 'uns back, I'd happily invest in a few pairs of heavy-duty suspenders.

Behold how the 23 simply dwarfs the H10 - that's what I'm talking about!

I'd love one of these too! I have a 44 which I love, but I also like some of the smaller sized ones.


I'd love a stag 74 stallion. I know they just did the cotton sampler 74s but cmon...

That's actually how I dropped the ball on these years ago. I already had a 44 and THOUGHT the 22 was basically the same model and passed. Then I realized it was a really small version and was kicking myself because I also love small knives. Been waiting for them to do another run ever since.

I love the 23s too and have several but they don’t seem that popular with others, I think because they’re too big and too strong of spring for some people.
