Man, this run of 74s seems to have caused some unrest. I personally thought several of them looked great, including the jigged bone ApostleP SFO. My favorite was the Ebony Tidioute, I'm really liking the simplicity of the ebony tidioutes, but I already have two 74s (the past two Rendezvous knives) so I haven't purchased one yet.
My issue is that I like and want some patterns that might not be very popular. I would love a run of 22s, 33s, 09s, 06s, 81s, 82s, 53/54s etc. I regret selling my ebony 22 and 33.

Oh yeah, 25s for sure. I can't believe I didn't pick up one of the ebony 25s on the last run.

I'd have to agree with you, I think the Ebony is the best of this run (although I am partial to Ebony in general). I liked the corset shield on Rob's Ebony SFO a little more, but I'm really happy with this one.

Question in general to the porch members... have there been any sightings of any of the new GEC fixed blades at any of the dealers? I would like to pick one up. I have a note into Mike at CK but haven't heard back anything yet.

A few pages back, Mike mentioned that GEC was waiting for the sheaths. He then responded later saying that they had the sheaths and were going to ship them out "between runs". I check CK 4 to 5 times a day to see if they have hit shelves yet, but they haven't made it there yet. I was hoping to pick one up a couple of weeks ago, but as they say, patience is a virtue. Or something. I don't know. I'm not very patient.
I've been wondering about this also, but thought I just missed them. Anybody know where I could see what all will be in the run?

I missed that Mike had said that... I'm excited for one!

Not a chance I am walking out on that limb. As sure as I say something is doubtful, Bill will put it on the schedule -- that's just the way he rolls !! ;>
Some variations are in transit to me...

How about we guess and you just blink once for "they'll try that one again," or twice for "buy it now if you want it, 'cause there's no chance they're ever making that again."
I'll start. 63 fishtail/mako?

16, 64, 81 would all surprise me if they ran again in the same configuration as they did before.
12, 26, 28, 33, 36, 57, 63, 65, 66, 68, 89, 98 were all slow but found admirers eventually.
But they could change the config just a bit and they could any one of them be the rave.

I can definitely see those "one run and done" patterns becoming quite coveted down the road....

I'm surprised to see 81 on the list too. I don't own one, but have been keeping an eye out.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. No other stockman comes close. I have the osage orange, and it is probably my favorite knife period. Others are prettier, but none more useful, than the 81. I would love to see GEC offer another run of this great knife.

This knife is simply gorgeous. I think I need one.

Stockman, ok. Muskrat, dud. But there are many patterns that individuals feel strongly about but did not correlate to brisk demand at the time.
