Lets talk GEC!

No problem Derrick, it happens

Any info on the color of the camel bone?

 

[okbohn]

It is going to be yellow (if I remember right) or possibly blue.

 

[JustinR]

Are they all barehead Derrick? That smooth ivory bone clip is going to look killer.

 

[2Dead]

Thanks Derrick!!

I'll have to see what the asking price is before think about buying one. I gravitate towards the clip point but both look nice.

I'm in the same boat as you. BTW the clip micarta looks to be $115. I think I'll be passing on this one. The camel bone will be pushing $140? Too rich for me altho it does look awesome ~

I got to handle one of the clip micartas today when I visited Derrick's store & they are very nice! Would have been hard to resist buying one but my wife was with me & she said I needed to keep it under $80 lol.

Folks, lets keep the questions about inventory, price, ordering out of the discussion threads please. Discuss the knives.

A little out of my price range but nice and slim.

Does anybody have any experience with the Northwoods sabre grind vs. Northwoods/Tidioute flat grind? I love the look of the sabre, and the Northwoods stuff all around, but it seems like it might not slice as well.

In theory, it doesn't slice as well. In practice, they work well.

Speaking of Northwoods… know when the Fremont Jacks might be in?

Discuss the knives.

Other questions can be emailed to the store or to Derek. Or you can leave Derek a PM or VM.

Does anyone know if GEC (or anyone for that matter) has ever made a #15 with a sheepsfoot primary and cap lifter secondary?

GEC hasn't produced a #15 with that combo yet, but you may want to get in touch with forum member Esnyx. He has modifed/combined a few GECs to include that combo recently.

Thanks! I'll look into that. I love my #15 Boys Knife Easy Open but I think it would see more pocket time with a cap lifter instead of a pen blade.

I've also recently been attracted to the #15 Easy Open Sheepsfoot. Got 2 on order but something with a cap lifter will certainly increase the enjoyment of a cold one :thumbup:

The #15 easy open is currently one of my favorite patterns, especially in a single sheepfoot, but a sheepfoot with a cap lifter is very interesting indeed.

Love the Wharncliffe & coping blade combo on this half congress I picked up yesterday!!

Here's a very short video (2 min) about KA-BAR... the Tidioute spin-off history is pretty cool.
