Lets talk GEC!

Kind of Swell End Jack then but Barehead? The 85s are all capped and they're pointed Candle Tip style too. I think the nearest they've done would be on the 56 frame.

Thanks, Will

Yep, all they have to do is make the Spear larger, like on Charlie's Real Harness Jack, back in 2011 and no candle tip, but with a more rounded end. Then add the easy open notch,,,DONE! It would be a BIG hit. In fact the #85 pattern would be even better.
Here's the knife I'm referring to.

GEC could try one of these . Queen Cutlery's Heritage series, all steel. Don't know IF it would look better with a cut-out EZ Open notch though...;)

Love those Heritage Jacks, Will. I wish they would have made the smaller size a single blade, too.

Thanks. They certainly do look good but they're not as well finished as the should be... I've been looking for a Bone handled Jack for years, even placed a post in the Wanted to Buy thread but to no avail...
 
Where are the fixed blades that just ran?
Been watching for them to show up at various dealers, did I miss them?

Last time they ran fixed blades, they were delayed due to the sheaths late arrival. Not sure if it is the same this time, but they will drop randomly with no fanfare. There's still some around from the last run, so I wouldn't worry too much about knowing the exact second they drop at dealers. I love my H731, and if I had a knife budget, I'd look to pick up one of the H732s.

After reading your post I checked Instagram and GECs IG account stated "avaialble now"
 
Yes, but without the pinched and threaded bolster, just a plain bolster. No bail hole either and a more rounded end. And only available in jig bone.

So like the NYKCo knife in my video on the last page? :)

I would very much like a bare head over capped in my stag and jigged bone knives. I wish the 78 American Jack had bare head options.
 
Yes, a true Bare End Jack with a notch, big Spear blade, simple Bowtie shield and nice jig bone. Still leaning towards the #85 pattern for this.
 
And now CollectorKnives has the fixed blades, and very pretty photos of them.

Boy I'd love an H23 canoe, but I can't afford that and the 81. Thankfully I got the convex dialed in on my old Western shark knife, so I'm not feeling too deprived in the fixed blade dapartment.

Not sure if I'm allowed to ask this question, but I bought a 2017 Charlie Campagnia cranberry sawcut TC Barlow on the secondary market. I was interested to know how much these cost if you were lucky enough to buy one direct from one of distributors ?
