Lets talk GEC!

Kifer shield? Old Man shield? Any ideas?

Kifer shield (pretty sure)

Old Man shield (sure)

That is a lot of unique choices. I love it.

What I really notice is no KSF SFO...listed.

That just means there's probably unspoken Northwood's like recently

 

[Railsplitter]

I'm interested in the JSR Sports SFO in cobblestone jigged bone. What was a previous pattern with cobblestone jigged bone?

Not sure if this was the only one.

 

[Will Power]

Kifer yes!

OM er looks like a Hipster

I’ll be in for one of Barry’s bone #14 versions!

 

[Signalprick]

The Maher and Grosh #15's are up.

 

[Turth]

Has GEC done a Cowboy Boot shield before? Noticed that on the OTC SFO and am kinda curious about it.

 

[singin50]

Yes, my M&G is on it's way! Pickbone

 

[DelOro]

Please post pictures

 

[sogflash]

Does anyone here know if the clip point blades on the 14's will have a long pull or a nail nick? Perhaps both since they'll make Northfields and Tidioutes?

 

[Camillus]

Disregard - thought my grizzly cut bone was an example of cobblestone.

 

[waynorth]

What year is that Cobblestone #66, Camillus??

 

[Ajd3530]

Good gravy so many darn #14s!!

I'm gonna be anticipating the Olde Town Cutlery SFO. I do love me some smooth green bone on just about anything.

Charlie its a 2010 - PPP.
I'm just looking for the tube to confirm its cobblestone.

no - according to the website it wasn't

Hey, but just check out some of the handle materials from 2010 http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/2010-PRODUCTION-TOTALS.pdf

White Awabi 3 pcs. no serial numbers
Leopard Wood 1 pc. no serial number
Coconut Palm 2 pcs. no serial numbers
Desert Ironwood 1 pc. no serial number
Jigged Bubinga Wood 25 pcs. serialized 6 pcs. no serial numbers

... the list goes on *sigh*

The limited/repeated cover options on runs these days just don’t excite me as much and I was hoping for some more experimentation. Although smooth green sounds interesting, it would be so great to see some more rare handle variety announced in the as-yet-unspecified tidioute and northfield runs.

 

[Wurrwulf]

Thanks, Al! I didn't see them on GEC's Shield List and didn't recognize the names.

 

[singin50]

I just placed my reserve order for Barry's SFO #14 in smooth gold Autumn bone, with a Crest shield. Should be a fine knife.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

The 14's are crazy!

They must have read our bellyaching about limited covers and said - we will show them! Haha....

 

[Kiteman72]

Dead Skunk acrylic returns!

 

[Postlapsaria]

Mmm can't wait to try that Dessert Ironwood from the Knife Connection
