Lets talk GEC!

KSF is posting covers for the "next northwoods". Anybody know what it is? The posted covers are giraffe, cut and stained already.

Yeah, I saw that. Derrick is being very secretive about the details.

Derrick has alluded to the fact that he is going to start working with a company other than Queen and GEC for some of the Northwoods line, and I wonder if this is the beginning of that.

BRK. There was a photo floating around of a prototype slipjoint made by one of the BRK guys.

Wow, really? I only think fixed blades with them. Makes sense for him to use BRK, they are practically neighbors.

Maybe it's Rough Rider... I love matchstrike pulls!

BRK is definitely expanding into folders. When this came out Derrick confirmed he had projects for northwoods in the works with them.

Exciting things ahead! I am hoping we see lots of stainless options come from this new endeavour!

Those giraffe bones are headed to GEC.

Good point, Mike. The folks at Bark River are steel junkies. This could be interesting.

(Whoops. Didn't see Derrick's post)

Oh you tease.

Did you pull the trigger on a Lanny's Clip, Derrick? I'd love to see a Lanny's Clip from Northwoods. The Zulu was so cool!

 

[t.willy]

You sure know how to build the excitement Derrick!!

Yay, that's good news!

Makes me wonder if something is coming on the 35 frame...

While a Northwoods/GEC Lanny's Clip in giraffe bone would be beyond amazing I'm not entirely sure they are allowed to use a custom design from Tony Bose. I think that's reserved for custom makers and Case only, with Tony's permission. I could be wrong...someone with more knowledge please feel free to chime in.

But I don't recall seeing any clip point Northwoods in a long time (since the very limited Madison Barlow?), so here's hoping for some kind of a clip point Northwoods.

Dave Shirley started Northwoods and was committed to branding and selling knives that were 100% USA made. Derrick stated here that he committed to continue that USA-made tradition when he purchased the brand from Dave.

With the upcoming boys knife/beer scouts I wonder if another run of Broadway Jacks could be squeezed in?

I just got a notification that Charlie's #35 SFO will ship early this week. Looks like I'll go from no equal end jacks to two by the end of the week!

Arrived in the mail today GEC #73 of 2007.

Sweet! Is that the Green Tea bone? What's the bear inlay?
