Lets talk GEC!

New GEC Dog Paw key ring knife in 440C, 2.75" closed, thoughts???

I think it’s a nice item and you can’t beat the stainless. I picked one up just to have it and haven’t used it yet.
 
How does the jigged wood hold up after use? It just seems like it would allow moisture and such to degrade it much faster.

Random question: When GEC "pinches" the bolsters, are they flat or concavely indented? It honestly kinda irks me when GEC makes the Northfield line too fancy. I like the looks of stag and appaloosa bone, and woods like snakewood and cocobolo, but when GEC only uses those materials when they also pinch the bolsters and matchstrike the pulls, it kills the appeal for me. Just my particular opinion.

I feel the same way. Personally, I'd be most pleased with just the better cover options, long pulls and Northfield shields. I prefer plain bolsters on most patterns.

I saw these earlier today. Didn't Great Eastern do a run of these a few years back as a SFO? About the same time as the "Dog Paw" brand conductor.

These and a GEC 33 have been available from Plaza Cutlery for years.

Unfortunately the owners of Plaza Cutlery are retiring. I wonder if KSF bought the remaining stock of dog paw GEC products.

I guess KsF picked them up from Plaza. I got one when they had their retirement sale. It’s a great little keychain knife, especially being stainless. F&F on mine isn’t GEC’s greatest but fine for what I paid and for it’s intended use. Now that 33 Dog Paw is outstanding F&F, almost picked up a second one when they were going for a crazy good price! Happy with both.
 
Will there possibly be a run of TC Barlows in 2018????

I’m just curious what members think.

I wasn’t sure since we will have 77 Barlows in the next few months.
 
Does anyone know what type of sheath (if any) the new run of H20 fixed blades will come with? I see them listed on CK with several different CK sheath options, but I wasn’t sure if they actually came with a sheath from GEC.

My guess is no 15 TC's, just a guess... about as good a guess if you ask me if it's going to rain next Monday at 6 p.m. so take that for what it's worth.

My guess is Washington Jacks for 2018. I hope to see 14 TC return some day with a different blade - hopefully sheepsfoot.

That's awesome, what a great way to mark this momentous event for your family, congrats!! I really like the whole 56 mardis gras package:thumbsup:. I bought one for my younger son's birthday yesterday who turned 16 and he loved it.
