Lets talk GEC!

Does anyone have any info on the recently finished, I believe, F&F 65 fish knife. I thought I saw some pics a little while ago and I read about woodland muslin micarta, anyone ever seen it? Thanks in advance

I saw one pop up on the big auction site. So, they should be hitting dealers soon???
Edit: Ooops. My mistake, it was from the '13 run. Sorry.

I am so happy they are making the H10 Bowie knife. It is hard to choose between the micarta and cherry. I can’t get both.......

My understanding is the H10 can be ordered from GEC and they are waiting on some sheaths to arrive before they sell them. Customer service told me they were keeping a list.

the 65s marked 651213 ARE from the new run, they were made with leftover parts just a week or so ago.

That explains it. Thanks.

The 72s with hoof picks are starting to hit dealers shelves....not a bad price. I just don't have a use for a hoof pick. Unless I can turn it into a punch

It is clear to me that GEC’s current large production runs will dramatically limit the number of patterns we see them produce each year. I have been forced into the secondary market to find a few patterns that might not be made again for a long time like this 42 Missouri Trader. The high prices hurt, but this is offset somewhat by the fact that I am buying far fewer knives. I also have the luxury of cherry picking the best ones.

Gregg there is a dealer modifying some of thier stock to present a different option.

Or a huge cap lifter...

I was thinking an orange peeler mod would be pretty cool

I really like it when people reminisce about patterns that GEC keep firmly locked away, we've all got ones we need to see again.

I have a pretty fair collection of 68 White Owls but for some insane reason I never bought one in Spear We all have idiocies we regret But I'd love to get hold of a Spear White Owl, any scales...

Something like these?

LastRodeo I had one of those Northfields and it had been de-bailed-was Clip though and I gave it away.

But that Bocote gives me a 'Clint moment' Well do ya want to hold on to that Bocote? well do ya???

The GEC website says the 73 with hoof picks are carbon. Wonder why they went with the acorn shield? Just leftovers?

A look at the Ramsfoot bladed 93. EDIT: Updated pic

On another note, I received an email from Chris this morning; appears they ran out of #65 fish knife parts before they were able to produce any in nifebrite. That's a real bummer.

With this 93 variant and the forum 86 variant, that is going to make for a lot of GEC sheepfoot blades. Hopefully they will take a bit of a break afterwards.

Thanks, Mike. I edited the pic in the #93 thread.

That is a bummer. I wish that the 93 had a Nifebrite version. It’s been too long!

Nifebrite Ramsfoot?
