Lets talk GEC!

Maybe a #14 beer scout/crown lifter with a clip blade ???

I would be okay with that also, as my main user is the 15 radio jack, I don't use the bottle opener all that often but it is pretty handy sometimes

46 Whaler is muscle bone? Oooooh yeah

 

[Augie]

Where did those Whalers come from,what a great surprise! Muscle bone Lumberjacks from the 2016 Rendezvous.

I have never handled a 46 whaler? Are these more for collectors or users? I personally enjoy carrying my 35 Churchill, any #85, and the 57 whittler.

Would I like a 46? Thanks.

They are pretty big knives. I suppose some people carry them as users but I suspect most are for collectors.

Here is a picture of a 45, which I believe is the same as a 46.

Thanks Norcaldude. Based on your response and pic I will sit this run out. I’ll let the guys who want them have a chance.

Sounds like a run of 15’s are coming up as well. Judging from early reserve listing, it looks like the offerings will be sort of plain; Tidioute in ebony, jigged antique bone, and OD micarta. It will have a spear blade which is nice and a version with bail and chain will also be offered. I hope there are a lot of SFO’s with more interesting handle materials. Otherwise, I might pass.

JTB_5 sorry about the mistake, doing too many things at one time.

Those Whalers are massive You could probably hunt whales with them Give GEC credit, they're offering something odd and different, kind of pocket trowel

I see spear, not clip at Mike's website. Where are you seeing clip?

I already have a ball and chain, I certainly don't need another one!......oh wait, you said BAIL and chain - sorry.

I bet a run of beerscouts and cap lifters are in the works...well I'm hoping.

I was thinking of buying two to use as tactical snowshoes.

Seriously though, I did own one for a couple of years, and it was an impressive knife. Just not for EDC.

 

[HFinn]

There is a GEC model Northfield Moose. Nice looking knives, but what is the point of having spear point and clip point at opposing ends? Can someone explain the usefulness of this configuration?

New beer scouts would be very nice!!!

I jumped all over the bail and chain boys knife in micarta, because I adore micarta and I'm all about dat bail. But I'm actually hoping that this is one of those infrequent sprint runs of stainless 15's, like the clip versions of a couple years ago. That would move this run from the good into the great category.

 

[GunGraber]

I'm missing the chain part of bail and chain. Are these going to have a bail that also has a chain connected to it? I've never seen that before.

These were the old style chains. Worn kind of like a pocket watch, tethered to a button.

 

[GunGraber]

So it just has a bail right? The chain doesn't come with the knife?

GEC says they come with the bail and chain on one model, another model without.

You know these are still on dealers shelves, right?

I'll always be ready for another run of Beer Scouts, but I don't think GEc would do that until all the Crown Lifters are gone from the dealer's inventories.
