Lets talk GEC!

[Hatchet_Jack]

How can they not be out of sheepfoot blades?

Well they were lambs but the drop was left too long after the 93’s were announced and now they’re fully grown rams

Here is one of the Northfield variants from 2019. I'll be curious to see how they come out this time around. Maybe some lambs will sneak in to the run...paging waynorth

I am pretty disappointed that we are not getting a Northfield 91 stockman…….

 

[Old Engineer]

I think there was a Northfield 93 in 2019

Yep !

My favorite wood on a GEC is bubinga. Because my beaver 48 went through the wash and came out whole with good walk and talk. Bubinga may not look fancy but it sure is tough. My wife hasn’t washed any of my other wood handles yet so my opinion may change.

Bubinga i
.didn't even know they used it,i see they used it in 2010 on your 48 with beaver shield, you have pictures see how it ages,and you know any other time they used it.

My wife put my bunny through the washing machine and the dryer. Still good nick!

Here is the most recent picture I have of it, amongst my other users. I’m not sure of other GEC’s in bubinga, but it seems to be extremely stable.

We have a new rule that you must pull at least one knife out of my pockets or you’re not allowed to wash my pants
I’m very grateful for my wife though.

It can be pretty good looking also!!
Bubinga trapper!!!

 

[Alex.Y.]

Orleans shield?!

Yeah, so cool!

Beyond excited.

Same! I think every listed variant of this run might be a winner of its own.

It sure can! That’s a really nice trapper, swedgy

Might have to go for one of these 93s:

So they are basically revisiting the '19 run's cover options with a few variations: shields and wood type.

I would think alot of people missed out on the 2019 run since they were sold quite quickly, and you seldom see them on exchange,as for the lambsfoot that's a whole different ball of wax.

Yeah, but still a big difference between approaches to this and, say, 33s which were made last time after ten years since the previous run and without a bail.

You are correct. I just remembered they had the ram foot

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

They look good but…I’m all about that flat cap jigged version

I’ll be sad if I miss getting the two bone versions. Is that first pic the natural bone?
