NEW GEC - 571326 Geppetto Whittler

[Scubaroo]

I swore I wasn't going to buy any more new GEC's this year.
But how can you pass up a THREE blade whittler?

I'll be interested to see how the avocado jigged bone turns out.
It also looks like the northfield trim will have nail nicks instead of long pulls. Interesting choice.

Hoo Haa!!! Three blades from Bill!!!!! Am I seeing things????

Get the H outta here! A 57 Geppetto whittler? I'm in for a smooth stained bone when they drop.

Please be a houndstooth on that blue burlap.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

This is going to be a great release.

Put my preorder in for a Tidioute and a Northfield I’m not to picky on the covers. Been waiting for this pattern to come back for a while and I’m jazzed!

I'm picking up a little more blue than green on the Northfield smooth bone.

Stained bone is looking very nice.

Anyone else notice that all of the blades seem to have a nail nick?
Seems like the older wranglers had a long pull.

Honestly, I hope we get some cool tube art with this release.

The Northfield Geppetto whittlers with the clip had nail nicks from the earlier run.

Edit-not my photo.

I'm glad they went with a shield this time and didn't engrave the richlite.

That blue burlap looks outstanding!!!

When would they be released? The checkered richlite looks interesting.

Looks like that one’s up first. I’d say they’ll hit dealers in the next 10 days.

It’s a neat little pattern but too small. I’m not an accomplished chip carver like Mr. Jiki but I can’t imagine finding a 3.5” knife useful for its intended purpose. Kind of a novelty.

Many "whittlers" are whittlers in name only for my personal carving style. I think this will be an excellent small EDC knife as a companion to a larger work knife. I am excited to get one. Here's a shot of some of my carving knife collection.

Bill changed the play.


Looks good.

They spent all that time staining the bone just to polish it off? I hope the finished product has some color.

Kindof looks like appaloosa bone

Either solid brown, or solid white...No skidmark bone!!
