Jeff would you mind naming the three acrylics on the right?
Yessir. Was able to hone the others to being pretty darn sharp (for my abilities.) The coping just started flaking.
I love the acrylics. As far as resale they may be lower compared to bone or especially a barlow but for me they are still high, insomuch as i can buy a new gec, cheaper than one of these rare beautiful acrylics. As for me they are more desirable than most other gec's from years agoI agree with you, but we must be in the minority, as the acrylics have the lowest resale value of any of the handle materials.
Here are a few favorites:

Very very emphatically, but not a BF dealer. If you have an Instagram, send me a message there. Same screen name.
Well working on 2 1/2 weeks and still no plans revealed, I'm kind of surprised. They'll be done with the Pembertons this week. Just the 97s left. Even with a possible Northwoods run of 97s, they shouldn't take but about 6 weeks. Getting jumpy over here waiting on the next early reserve text messageI am curious as to what GEC has in the works next. Pretty much halfway done with the Pembertons, then the #97 run to go. I'd imagine in the next few weeks we'll be getting word.
TsaA few days ago, I was searching GEC’s list of authorized dealers, and forget which one listed the glass and Beer Scout together as a package.
The #6 & 15 are my favorite GEC patterns. (The Stag Jack on the #77 another favorite.)
My avatar is a single blade sheepsfoot on the #15. Making a sandwich during a month long challenge: one knife for everything. No hard use that month and it worked great.
Glad I picked up a glass awhile ago. Wish I woulda got more...RIP Beer Scout Knife Club.All those products are unavailable.. as others have said tsa had a package deal a couple weeks ago, but other than that anything with Beer Scout on it is gone. If I recall correctly GEC even pulled the Beer Scout pictures from their website under the patterns produced link![]()

This post from the LOTR thread got me thinking: I wonder if GEC will ever try their hand at a hobo knife? Could be fun.
Mine is one of my most treasured pieces of gear from my trail work and landscaping days. I still use it all the time. Great fork, suitable for eating and grilling, a big knife that I keep deliberately dull, and most important: A huge, deep, full-size soup spoon.This post from the LOTR thread got me thinking: I wonder if GEC will ever try their hand at a hobo knife?

This is a replica of a Civil War era pattern, with rosewood scales. Handle is 4.5" long.

It sure helps eating! Haven't found it's equal in utility. All the other versions I've seen make big sacrifices of utility for not much space saved at all.I LOVE the 2 piece style. Yours is a great example.
TSA still had the package yesterday. Factory Second Beer Scout in golden ale jigged bone with pin and pint glass.All those products are unavailable.. as others have said tsa had a package deal a couple weeks ago, but other than that anything with Beer Scout on it is gone.
