Lets talk GEC!

Appears to me that the Tidioute 85 will have brass liners and the Northfield 85 will have steel liners. IF I am correct, I think that's awesome!
Mr. Latham, Please correct me if I am wrong.

Last run had brass , I'd be surprised if they did both on this run

Forum Knife 13 which was a GEC 13 had NS liners. I'm sure I've got another GEC knife with them but can't recall which.

I prefer the 85 without EO notch.... much more ergonomic.... also like the clip blade better than the bulbous spear. Different strokes!

Wow that is gorgeous! What material is that?

I think I would have to agree with all your points.

It’s Coffeehouse Acrylic. Hasn’t been used in a few years, but it is even more stunning in person! I wish GEC use some of their older acrylics again.

One of my favorites is Orange Crush Perylic.

Yes!!! GEC has been stuck in OD Green Micarta Mode for long enough!!!

I would like to thank all the folks who have posted all these great pictures. You have made a believer out of me! I’m shopping for my first GEC and looking forward to finally getting one in hand.

Thank you again!

I like the EO notch and have a few with it, but look forward to this one without it, progress pics of the Beavertail look phenomenal, can't wait.

That knife is simply spectacular! Personally I like the "bulbous" spear blade but the clip sings on this baby. Wow.

That Stag's a great pattern in itself

 

[TOM K.]

Really looking forward to the new 85. With and Without EO notch.

Marked 02 but production totals show only one produced. Matching bark ivory earrings by yours truly.

Just an amazing Stag, Harry!!
It's a nice pattern, and that Stag suits it perfectly!!

So apparently they are keeping that tulip shield a secret...every photo of the oyster pearl 85 is the pile side.





Except one!!! They let it slip!!! (lower right)

They totally control our emotions with these pics!

I want to see the smooth rotten banana bone.
