Lets talk GEC!

Well, the last time the 38 farmers were ran were 10 years ago. Highly likely we see some more 77's. It likely won't be anything we think up though and it sure as heck won't be Washington Jack's. It'd be nice to get the two blade yankee jack's again though. You just never know what ol Bill is cookin' up.

I don't think there are alot of 77 in clip blade out there, at least I haven't came across them,all though I prefer a 2 bladed knife over single unless it's a lambsfoot, wharncliff or clip blade.so I can see a 77/78 single clip or even a 35 with that ever so sought after equal end cigar.

There may be a Ben Hogan and a Whiskey Barrel 15 in the near future .

They exist just hard to pry from people. Two different styles, the original clip and the “pinch clip” from 2016

 

[Will Power]

Whiskey barrel?? Could be Gunpowder Keg Followed by Red flag Statue of Liberty has 1776 on it somewhere so could it be a long awaited Outlaw revival of the 76 pattern?

Probably way off the mark

Absolutely. Not enough to meet demand.

Why Ben Hogan? And isn't it too early for another 15?

The GEC #65 is called a Ben Hogan , who was a great Golfer , and they seem to always be making a #15

My understanding is that the GEC #65 is not named after that Ben Hogan-- there is another less well known Ben Hogan who was in the oil business in NW PA.

This is one webpage about him. http://www.petroleumhistory.org/OilHistory/pages/Wild Side/Hogan.html

 

[AusLoX]

Yes, it’s the Ben Hogan who worked with French Kate

I expect that you are correct but when I hear Ben Hogan , I think of golf . We just have to wait and see what happens .

These are perfection in style, design, and build quality. As good as it gets.

Beautiful examples.

Yes. Let’s hope Bill allows more.

Sure would be sweet to see that big, beautiful clip point from the grinling whittler on this new run of 38's, with a coping blade at the other end of course!!

Ya that wouldn't go against what bill said about not making the grinling whittler again.

Bingo! Hell just a single blade on that 38 frame but with that big clip, not the measly muskrat!!

 

[Will Power]

2 blades single-spring would do it. Clip/small Sheepfoot or Spear/small Clip
