Lets talk GEC!

A 3-1/8" swell center pen with tip bolsters, or a 3-1/4" shadow serpentine stockman, slender with muskrat clip main.

Right ON!:thumbup:

I'd also like to add, Seahorse Style Whittler as a single-spring Penknife, Wharncliffe/Mod Penblade

Another run of 25s including Drop-point

81 as a single spring Surveyor, Clip/Sheepfoot and yes some Butter&Molasses acrylic as an option. You could use the 76 frame as a smaller version Surveyor too, it's a pattern yelling out for revival.

Conductors in micarta.

Another run of Stainless White Owls please.

Something new... I know SFOs bring in the money (esp.aftermarket..) and attention but they are limited in distribution and not very easy to get-particularly abroad. So it would be nice to see some more new in-house patterns from GEC in the New Year as well.

I like these speculation threads:D:D

Thanks, Will
 
What about a Opinal style knife? is that a trademarked and protected design?...steel lined, ebony wood, N/F locking ring, 1095, about 4 inches long.

I agree JC. My bad. What's done is done though.

Two things at the top of my hope to see made list:
1) GEC Scout Knife - jigged bone, wood, and maybe burnt stag. It would also be a cool platform for some Acrylics.

I would love to see a Scout knife variant from GEC. A nice bail, match-striker long pull on clip main blade, secondary spey blade, bottle opener/flat head, and then either an awl or can opener. You could put just about any handle material on that and I'd buy it.

I'd also like to second tstaut's Beerlow suggestion with copperhead bone coloring and either a long pull clip blade or spearpoint

Fair point John, but it would really help if more posters considered this thread before starting a new one. Sometimes the whole forum is littered with GEC threads, with the original posts sometimes having little content :thumbup:

I wasn't complaining, hence my use of the smileys. More of an amusement at how it got jumbled together. Gary and Frank have a tough job keeping it all sorted.

John, I knew that. Sometimes it just doesn't work out the way you thought it would. :)

A 3 1/2" or 3 5/8" Coke Bottle design with a single clip blade. Basically, a large Pemberton.

That's what I'm talking about. Also a new run of single blade toothpicks with the muskrat clips, maybe some in shadow pattern, all kinds of acrylic, polished stag, Gabon ebony, and buffalo horn.

Could see some more acrylic option on the boys knives.

The 66 punch stockman - clip main, sheepsfoot, and the punch used on the teamster jack.
 
Of course I would love to see some more Bullnoses in different handle choices, but I think for now GEC is not too quick to increase the price of the knife by offering premium handle options. I'm hoping that the unscaled versions of the 99 sell well and that leads them to at least reconsider the Bullnose as an option for some fancier scales. If one Farm & Field does well with them maybe the others will too, right!?:D My wish list for scales on the Bullnose would be wood, especially Gabon Ebony or African blackwood, smooth bone or even polished stag and some acrylic, especially the Seaglass, Turquoise and Sunbrite variety.... ah to dream:)

Side note, I would love to see the Seaglass and Turquoise acrylics on some more models, especially the #15, # 47 and #77.
 
While we are dreaming, here are a few of mine;

#42STL with an UN-X-LD stamped blade

A nice, slim seahorse or dogleg pen with tip bolsters

A large coke bottle hunter with bottom bolster similar to Washington jack's
 
Out of fairness, I couldn't put this under Mike's thread, nor Charlie's, but since the same people working outside of the old Cyclops Steel Works built all of them, i thought it would be most appropriate here.

Nice looking trio of 77s! I have the Forum knife version only. From looking at the three of them, I'd say that a Marlow with the blade combo of the Washington Jack in a jigged bone would be my cup of tea. Make it in stainless and that'd be my grail.
