Lets talk GEC!

I had to add one 1⃣ these to my collection it's just to a cool of a pattern not too,there are those that are fortunate to have a 45 or 46 as well with the extra blade, the wife just didnt get this knife until I split a branch and duct taped this in between to make a tomahawk.

Trust me, the extra blade on the 46 is well-nigh unusable

I have a thing for classic Remington firearms and I have a couple of the older 1990s camillus made bullet knives but I had to get one of the 2026s. This one has a little bit of up and down blade play but I've read that that's pretty common on GEC lockbacks. I really dig the covers on these.

Looks like 88s are up next

The 88 production photos look fantastic. I opted out of the last 88 run and kicked myself since then. The blade combo and serpentine frame just sing.

I've been enjoying my existing horde and haven't bought a GEC for a minute. I'm hoping for a cocobolo 88.

It’s a sowbelly frame. They should have done an 88 stockman this time. I got all of the 88s except ironwood last time. I might pick up a cocobolo this run, but not too excited for the same blade combo.

88s are a great pattern! Looking forward to hopefully adding a couple more.

Whoa, is that an ebony SFA? Doesn’t looks like black micarta.

Got another Ben Hogan! In some nicely aging white bone to pair with my black 651111. I oiled the joints waynorth but the edge needs a tune up!

Just picked up one of those myself! What kind of stone have you got, amazonite?

I’m not 100% sure about the green stone (was in my grandfather’s rock collection) but Charlie, birdsbeaks and I decided a while back it is likely Green Aventurine?

Ha Ha!! I think we've had this conversation before!!??
It's a nice stone, no matter which mineral it represents!!

Mmmmm…that 2026 Remington is pretty sweet. Slight up and down blade play…far less than than the 2016 72 run. (I know the bullet knife is off the 42 pattern, but the 72 lock back is the only pattern I have for comparison.)

I’d put a vote in the column for aventurine! Very nice pairing

It could be petrified Play-Doh; I found some about a month after our grandkids left that looked just like that.

 

[Heynowwww]

Excited for the new 88s—definitely my favorite pattern. The initial release offered a great mix of covers, featuring regular production, SFOs, a single SFA, and a rendezvous knife. Hoping this new run brings an abundance of fresh variations to enjoy.

I'm very happy with mine. There's a lot of belly in the long blade. Slim enough to pocket or get around easy, but not so slim it takes anything away in the hand. The covers and shield just sit right with me. It's a good looking knife imo.
