Lets talk GEC!

[Quiet]

I'm definitely in for a Conductor in Jigged Bone.

This 33 is gonna be my nephew's first pocket knife

Lucky nephews... My nephews got Rough Ryders.
Once they prove to me that they'll use a traditional pocket knife, then we'll see about a GEC.

I'll probably be in for both and keep my favorite. I've owned many 33s, but this is the only one that has stuck around. EDC since 2014.

One of the ones I wish hadn’t gone in sell offs. Beautiful with the ebony, and nice to see such a solid use patina.

I’ve got my Dog Paw 33 in stainless, I turned the pen into a coping blade because I just don’t have a need for two similar blades. Not sure why it’s so common to have a pen as a secondary to a spear or clip? Anyways it’s a great little knife with amazing sound and feel to to snap on the main especially.

They should make one with copper liners & bolsters...it would be an excellent conductor!

I like what you did there. I'd buy one especially if it had dark ebony scales.

He’s my only nephew and I’m proud of him. It pays to have a cool uncle

At least a knife with a good size for me, I mean the #33 !!!
I only hope that the spring will be strong enough

[Jfowler]

I agree ! Hopeful for stout pull and snappy action !

For those yearning for stout sprung Conductors, campaign for a stainless one, GEC's acorn shields always come stout

I hope Mike doesn't mind me moving his quote over to this thread...
I thought it might be better to leave the Forum Knife discussion uncluttered.

GEC... They have announced, at least to dealers, that they are no longer producing SFO's, non-owned branded knives, club knives, etc.

I was wondering if this meant we won't see any more NF and TC Barlows?

 

[Sacto]

We can officially exclude GEC from consideration. They have announced, at least to dealers, that they are no longer producing SFO's, non-owned branded knives, club knives, etc. A simplification of operation to only general production GEC branded knives. There is a Smith Mudbug that was already in the pipeline that will be the last commitment.

@knifeswapper - do you know if this is just to get back on track this year because of the covid closure or is this a permanent decision?

 

[Camillus]

I think its a good move for GEC overall, as the SFO production must have consumed a lot of GEC time and tied up production. That said, it would be nice to see another manufacturer take up the opportunity to make SFOs.

 

[William Pace]

I sure hope this is just temporary. I always enjoy seeing the different SFOs of each pattern

 

[natchezz]

Aren’t the SFOs a big part of what puts the “Great” in Great Eastern Cutlery?

 

[Jsega51]

This is getting boring. lilliputian and giant knives. I’m outta here. Back in a another couple months.

Right, variety is terrible! Boooooo!

 

[rpstrimple]

Does this mean no Northwoods? Doesn't GEC make those?
