Lets talk GEC!

The Mudbug is a nice work knife...but very $$$ for what you get, especially with the sheath.

I jumped on out of curiosity but it looks like they sold out already.

I think they are having server issues so if you keep trying you might be able to get through if you want one. They make a great beater work knife. Of course, some folks might not want to drop $130 on a beater lol. Which is understandable.

I knew it was a bad idea to follow up on here... natural linen with a sheath on the way haha. Thanks

Clearly, it is a #74 pattern with a clip and wharncliffe blade, thus both a mustang and viper (with hotdog shield). Henceforth known as a rattlesnake.

If we got another run of saddle trappers (maybe another reference from the saddled horse?) I would be ecstatic.

Wow I never even knew those existed. That would be amazing.

a jig bone and or carved bone would be ok...

Now we're talking !

Always wanted a MudBug, I'll be excited to try it out.

You might be onto something. That background art sure has the same flavor as the GEC image.

I was considering it, but found it expensive for what you get. I did go on to the site and see if I could be tempted into it, but it would only let you add one to the cart if you ordered it with the sheath for an even higher price. (This was at 12:02.)

I jumped on the mudbug wagon. I have an old maroon one I got from a buddy and use it as a beater. I figured with this year probably being the last run of thm that I'd grab a natural linen model. I do like natural linen micarta. I've dropped some $$$ this week between this and the blue camel LL #23 I have on the way

Yea their servers got hit hard since this will likely be the last run of them that GEC will make. They are nice knives, but you didn't really miss out on much. I'm sure folks will be listing them as they come in, so if you want one, you should be able snag one off the exchange.

Completely sympathize with you there, so many knives, not enough cash, not enough time lol.

Look how swoopy that clip is! Awesome! I’ve talked about how nice a #14 with that blade combo would be. At almost an inch longer, it’s bigger, but how often does anyone get rewarded with just the thing they were looking for GEC to make?

Regarding the mud bug; I passed up on the #21’s because they didn’t seem like a useful knife for my needs. To me a lock back or slip joint doesn’t change it much... but when that announcement came I felt the urge to go check on them and temp myself. I abstained... I’m proud of myself.

 

[SteveC]

I grabbed a Mudbug since this will be likely the last.

Yes please.

Brilliant deduction. Saddle Trappin for the win.

I would be pulling out my wallet.

 

[LastRodeo]

GEC has been making alot of larger knives lately by my observation. How about we get some of those little gunstock knives coming out the factory again?

 

[RickNB]

Yes please.

Brilliant deduction. Saddle Trappin for the win.

I approve any knife with two main blades, count me in for a few if this is true.

I had a Mudbug. It was alright, but not worth twice what a Bull Buster costs (and except for the lock back and slightly slimmer scales, it’s the same knife).
