When GEC does a mock-up, that's pretty much the way it's going to be. They would not do a mock-up of a pen secondary, then put in a coping.
I suppose the color of the handle could change, but I seriously doubt it.
Charlie said, here is a bunny knife, and here is GEC's version of it.... pretty much eliminates the "can you make it bigger, can you make it green, can you put three blades on it" kind of discussion. Which is what is NEEDED for the Forum knife project....

edit: I think we have two choices.... buy it, or don't.

Yep Just like Henry Ford! You can get this knife in any handle color and material you want. So long as it's black synthetic. 🤣
 
wonder if the folks down in Oz use anything unique to them for handle material like eucalyptus? Not advocating for change here just got me thinking about locally made knives.

I don’t know about knife handles, but they did use Queensland Maple and Coach Wood for their SMLE rifles in WWII and maybe even WWI. Just a little bit of trivia.
 
I’m really happy to see the possibility of another yearly BF traditional knife come to life. I’m definitely in for 2 regardless of the final configuration.

Question though, as I didn’t see it mentioned in my scan of 33 pages, but what makes a knife a bunny knife?

Post #1 by Charlie.
 
Y'all know about the Jackrabbit pattern knife, right?

It's like a Bunny knife but with a powerful quick opening spring. 😉

Nothing fancy was made here...these Toledo Australia knives were something to do with a mob called Tridon..the small one has laminated scales which I dont find attractive at all...but not a bad little knife...Bunny type maybe..The Buck 110 lookalike is Rough Ryder kit knife I built ...it came with laminated timber scales which I turfed in favour of Spotted Gum..eucalyptus maculata ...which a great timber for tool handles...it has darkened nicely with time...
Cheers.

cudgee cudgee Thanks for that info mate...I have a couple of toledo austs ...their lock back 110 lookalikes are wobbly ...It was my work knife in the firies for many years...Acyually trying to get the stainless sharp was what originally lead me to blade forums ...so at least we all know who to blame now.:D
I've also heard that the company might have been Tempe Tools in Sydney...Tempe is a suburb near the airport. Pretty much all the manufacturing has been replaced by hi rise.
cheers...

Although I was able to decipher about half of your all’s exchange I’m still trying to figure out the rest! Time for happy hour to end. 😜
