Lets talk GEC!

Love the 92 Talon.

The middle beauty!

There will be a lockback version of the 21 Bull Buster (large sodbuster pattern) made as an SFO. Here is an email I got from the distributor (details can be found on the GEC site).

We are in the early stages of development on this project with GEC so this info is subject to some slight tweaks along the way, but this is what we know so far:

Materials:
1095 Blade/Lockbar
Steel liners
Natural Micarta Scales

Pricing:
We hope to keep this knife in the $100-$120 (Hopefully closer to $100)

ETA:
Great Eastern has this project scheduled to run in early September 2014. We hope to have product in hand by October or November 2014.

I just orderd a #36 Sunfish EZ open..... I figured that style would be best since I had to send my #73 in to lighten the pull (literally tore my nails opening it) and I've heard the #36 is of the same caliber. I'm just curious as to how comfortable the handle is on the EZ compared to the standard. Anyone with the EZ or both, please give a shout out!

I have 2 EZ open. My ring finger goes right into the EZ notch and it's pretty comfortable. When new, the ebony was the tighter of the 2 and sometimes a challenge to open. Even with the notch, the blades can be too slippery to get a good grip. But once I got a patina going they became much more grippable and easy to open.

Thanks, I was hoping the cut out would act like a finger groove. Those are some great looking knives!

Oil Sucker Rod covers?

I wonder what that cover will look like. Perhaps they ment Oil Sucker Red, but who knows.

Would that be the rendezvous knife?
 
GEC Website is showing a SFO Charlie Campagna Barlow in red jigged bone now with a single clip blade. Plan on getting one this time so I don't miss out.
