Just curious about the amount of interest in the 25's? I've got a black camel bone spear that rarely gets carried. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice looking well built knife but I find it too small. I thought I'd love the strong pull, but on such a small knife it's led to me getting bit a few times ! If I feel like carrying something small I usually end up carrying either my #18 coyote or a little knife that I've had since I was 8 that I refurbished. So what's the big draw? Is it just the fact that it's a super solid yet really small not intimidating blade? That's what initially drew me into getting one...

I can only speak for myself, but I love the way they look. I love that they have a nice solid feel with a strong snap. These 25's are like tanks compared to other small knives. Also, these fit snugly into my watch pockets and are able to lay horizontally so that they are very secure (I can't take losing knives).

There might be more boxes though, as I see the blurry paper to the left shows 240pc of something for #25 Northwoods.

I can only read the word "North" and then it is cut off. You can also see the words Burlap Micarta. So most likely these are the Burlap Micarta slabs for Northfield Barlows that are listed on the Early Reserve page of one of our sponsor's websites.

Possible...but unlikely in my view. Mammoth + Denim...that has "Northwoods" written all over it. :D

(and I like that! ;))
 
Enlarged and enhanced pic reads:

The last two lines read "Scales for #25"
"Northwoods" (100% certainty)

Pretty sure the first two lines are "110ct Burlap" (99% certainty)
"110ct Denim" (80% certainty)

The third line is 20ct (possibly mammoth), cause I want it to be mammoth only more than 20ct.:cool:

Charlie, this is from the training scene in Rocky when he reached the top of the steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

I believe this is also representative of everyone's reaction when they make it to the factory early enough to get a rendezvous knife.:)

On the previous page, I asked about GEC's photo. There were some humorous replies and in response to the jokes, I pasted Rocky into the photo. Ryan gives a good description of the scene from the movie.

I didn't have anything in particular in mind. It's pretty random. Maybe Rocky is at the top of the stairs. It could be people's reaction when they make it to the rendezvous. If I make it to the rendezvous some year, I'll be jumping for joy.
 
Don't know if this was mentioned yet, but;

This looks nice, I would rather a Wharncliffe secondary, but that can be fixed.

My house number for the past 32+ years has been 1217. I just noticed that, from a numerological standpoint, I should probably look into finding a GEC model released this year with 2 blades, clip main! ;) Looks like the only possibilities so far are the 54 Big Jack and the upcoming 81 Bull Moose and 35 Churchill.
