I wasn't a big fan of either of those two features either.

Very nice and quite the irony as I already have one No, not evidence of too many knives (yet..) by forgetting I have one, I was very tired in the original post and mis worded it. I meant, a larger type of Barehead Spear. Time GEC made a large Barehead Swell End or Teardrop..

Here's the 15 but I have to say not THAT keen on the colour or jigging, thinking of getting it re-shod in Ivory Bone Needs a Longpull too

Here's a Longpull Barehead, but alas too small, a 14 Near but not near enough

Might be simpler to buy the Maher and Grosh Boys Knife with bail and chain and have a blade removed, it already has the long pull spear.

See... Like I said, the Eureka Jacks are backwards Trappers.
It's the biggest reason I have sold both that I've owned, one from old run and one from the new run. I just couldn't get used to it.

It’s now 11 days since the last report on knife production. Interesting. When they do this my breakfast doesn’t taste as good as it did.

My #93 (combined with a great example of a Case swayback gent) made short work of a jack-o-lantern Saturday. I was really worried about prolonged exposure to wet pumpkin pulp, but it took it and kept running with no problems and a sweet patina.

anyone use their carbon steels on fish cleaning or field dressing? Since I’m still pretty new to rustable blades I’m always sticking my toe deeper and deeper into the water.

edit: I’m sure you do, but I mean “what has your experience been?”

Quote from a GEC employee in a FB group: "The reason you probably not seeing anything new is because the next knife is totally new totally off-the-wall totally not ours and totally not our distributors. We have nothing to do with it other than the fact of manufacturing it. Let us not count that in this list of what we think is next. But what is next is not anything listed. It will be unprecedented in form and delivery and never before done by gec"

That sounds like it might be a joke.

You can try to get one of those super rare NW spearhead Forest Jacks.

Hey, I think I have that exact knife. Did we do a trade a while back?

Been several years since I have owned it and I don't remember who I traded or sold it to. You want to trade it back to me?

I use my knives to bleed out fish . Blood wil definitely add to your patina.
