Texas Camp Knife!

Railsplitter said:
Wow, these will be monsters for sure. Just look at the thickness of those partially assembled knives. Is that a Beavertail shield?

Yes, they sure will be bigguns!!

The beavertail shields are only for the Oregon Knife Collector Club SFO. Too bad, I wouldn't mind having one.... I don't know if Charlie's SFO shield has been finalized or not.
 
I am finding myself exceedingly psyched about the idea of a massive equal-end splitback whittler. Think Case cigar whittler, only bigger and with better steel.

Derrick, does KSF accept human organs for payment? :o :p :D

The shield has been finalized! For the Camp Knife, the Cattle Knife, and the Whittler!

The etch has not been finalized yet!!:D

They will all have jigged bone - none smooth, and no wood.




(Sorry ~P!)

Ah-- I was going by GEC's pictures (smooth white bone!) and their production schedule-- your SFO is listed as jigged bone, but under the #98 TEXAS CAMP KNIFE, there is a Northfield entry for smooth white bone. (This is for the Camp Knife only, not on the Whittler or Cattle Knife.)

:cool:

In other news, I just received a massive Remington Bullet Beastie from ModocED (thanks, Ed!), and it is at once humungous...

... and somehow much less formidable than I had expected something of this size to be:

Once again, there is nothing like having a knife in hand. I now understand the potential benefits of its size, instead of just imagined drawbacks. I wouldn't want to carry it far, but it would be just the thing for, say, Camp[ing].

Or maybe even opening a can of chicken.

You know I like it... I like the smooth bone too Sarah,it would...be great on the whittler.
 
I don't know who those smooth ones are for! They might be GEC's own run!?

When I was in college, I saw one whole giant Chinese flying cockroach in a can of lychees. :eek: But I've never seen a whole chicken in a can.

My dad met my mom in Germany when he was stationed there. They got married and she ended up alone in America when he had to go to Vietnam. She spoke no English yet and she went to a grocery store to buy some food. Found a big can with fried chicken on the picture. Bought it, went home and found out what Crisco was :P

Sounds like your SFO camp knife is a return to the good ol' days of camp knives, Charlie! My only worry is that the BF16 knife might handle my punch needs, giving me cause to look at the whittler instead (I really like this frame). However, I'd like a "Charlie special" - I take it the whittler is only coming from the primary GEC run?

Yep, according to their March 10th Production Schedule.

I'm having thoughts of smooth bone whittlers bigger than my Case #75 dance through my head. Still, I think I'd be happiest if it were a Chittler (can I even say that? :eek: :o).

Looks plenty formidable in your photo. The awl is huge! (The owl is tiny!)

I expected better wordplay! C'mon, it's right there for you! Awl/owl, this is comedy gold! :grumpy:

Where will these be for sale once finished?

Your best bet is to check the GEC-affiliated dealers linked off their page, or to check the BF dealer membership list (I personally had a ridiculous time trying to find it just now, so I can't offer you a link at the moment). You can also look at the "Good, Bad & Ugly" forum in the Exchange for reviews or anecdotes about dealers (and other transactions) to get an idea of which ones you might want to consider.

I know of many GEC-affiliated dealers, will a website like Knives ship free offer these? Or is this more along the lines of the forum knives when it comes to distribution?

This is a regular run that will likely be carried by most GEC dealers.

Charlies SFO will likely be carried by the dealers listed in his website below:

" To find my SFOs and the dealers who carry them, check my developing website at:
www.waynorthcutlery.net "

I likely have no exact information on anything so take that for what it's worth... this is a regular run so it would be odd for GEC not to sell them at their dealers because where else would they sell them at??

Oh yeah! That shield is perfect!!

You know, you are absolutely right :thumbup::cool:

If the pattern weren't such a BEHEMOTH I'd be tempted by that shield alone.......:D:D

It looks just at home on an Equal-End. Idea... scaled down version for the Forum Knife too???:)
