I have come back to admire this beauty 3 times. So nice!

Teal colored GEC 19. This one just fell out of my wife’s purse. I may hang onto this one for a few weeks before I put it back.

Thank you for saying so. That one is an Antique Store find. After experiencing it's impressive F&F and the superb walk and talk, I was mesmerized, unable to pass it up. Since then I've become even more enamored with the little Queen.

Updating the 3.25" Pile - Kings of the Smalls

 

[Markesharp]

Very nice lineup of smalls James!
For my hands 3 1/4" is the smallest I can feel comfortable using.

Wonderful Pile, James.

Thanks Mark. Those are getting close to the smallest to be considered a practical user.
Though I've read of people using smaller blades to do some incredible things.

Wonderful Pile, James.

Thanks John.
It's been several years in the making, being not the most common size.

First Gen Pemberton

Love the clip point on that knife.

Love the clip point on that knife.

First year Pembertons do have a great clip!
and those Conductors are certainly no slouch in that department...

 

[Sventhelumberjack]

With a 3 1/4" size limit, I guess I have a few more smalls than I realized.

 

[Hengelo_77]

I like to make knives and then I like to make them smaller.
I also like the flowing lines of a closed zulu spear. I made this one as a proto type to try out myself.
I visit a lot of elementery schools for my job, so sheeple friendly is paramount to me. I think I nailed that part.
2 11/16" closed with a 2" blade (68 / 50mm)
Stainless niolox with pink ivory on G10 liners.

As a small knife carrier, the #33 is one I considered too long and never picked up. Regret! Come on GEC, bring it back.

It was never high on my priority list, but I happened to be in the right place at the right time (i.e., staring at my phone the moment a dealer email came through) and figured why not? I was very pleasantly surprised, it’s a fantastic little knife!

 

[redsparrow]

I waited about four years (I believe) to acquire a 33. Now after two years of ownership I'm certain I'd enjoy having one of the earlier ones (like the "dog paw") and probably any future versions. Yeah, they're that good!
IMO the 2020 model in amber is GEC's best Conductor. Mine can be seen above in post #1226.

As a small knife carrier, the #33 is one I considered too long and never picked up. Regret! Come on GEC, bring it back.

Both of those are knives that will likely haunt my dreams forever.
I'd love to own both of those, but they'll probably never be made again, I'll probably not be ready to get one if they are, and I just cannot pay secondary market prices.
That seems to be my standing with GEC in general sadly.

 

[JohnDF]

I really like it, very much.

 

[Travman]

...and today for variety sake I exchanged the Conductor for a Pemberton. Really likin' these Smalls lately!

Your stag Pemberton has all the right things going for it. It has great stag, pretty long pull blade, pinched bolsters and lined bolsters. That is a lot of good stuff packed into one small knife. I should have looked a little harder when these were new.
