I have really enjoyed seeing pics of all the "Scoutlifters" in this thread! I went with what basically amounts to the opposite approach, and, thanks to Evan, I proudly post a picture of my, um, "Crownsfoot EO". Or, maybe "Sheeplifter EO"? Anywhoo. . .Great job Evan!
Thanks,
B.

THAT is beautiful. GEC needs to make these NOW.

I think GEC could flourish just dropping their entire product line and manufacturing #15 variations...they just can't seem to make enough!

Great work, as always, Evan. :thumbup:

Such a beauty. I am jealous!

Here are my 15's.
A TC and nifebright with spear and pen.
TC with spey blade.
An ebony and nifebright with 1 arm razor.

The 15 is my favorite sized slip joint.
Big enough to handle most jobs yet small enough to carry with ease.

Thanks for all the kind words about the new knives! I am very happy with the work Evan has done on these. I finally had the light and time to snap a couple family photos.
Thanks,

Are there any pros or cons to the 15 electrician as opposed to the clip two blade version?

Looking at getting my first 15 and having a hard time picking. I'm drawn to the ebony clip/pen .... But that electrician looks cool too.

Bought this from one of the sellers here on Bladeforums. Going to play with it a little myself and put it away for the Grandson. My first 15!

I think they must be related.

draggat · Jan 15, 2015

I have a couple more, but these are my favorites.

singin50 · Jan 15, 2015

Yeah Brett, that's what you call very close relatives indeed!

Hi there,
I think it really comes down to how you would use it; the most obvious answer to your question is to get both!

I like having the liner lock on the saw/screwdriver/wirestripper blade. Makes it a pretty useful tool built into a smaller frame knife than say the TL-29, but still with the security of the lock if you need to get stabby with it. Works well when one has a need to penetrate, then saw some drywall, or if you need a flatblade for something. I tend to almost forget about smaller secondary blades on knives (especially pen blades), so I am moving towards either single blades, 2 equal sized blades with one flat edge blade, and one blade with a belly (like a full size wharncliffe and a clip, like the 77 Barlow), or one blade plus a "tool" like the saw or a caplifter. That's just my take on it; hope it helps!
Thanks,
B.

Baldy, really appreciate your response. I'm still very torn. I Really just want the cap lifter version, and was hoping the electrician would fill that void. Thinking I'll hold out till I find exactly the right one. Though my preference sometime change fast....especially when surfing the net looking at available knives.
