The Beer Scout Knife

Are these still in production? I've seen a few sell on the exchange, but out on the interwebs they seem scarce. I love the design.
 
I'm starting to worry that there won't be a Beer Scout run this year. I so look forward to any knife with a cap lifter.
 
How about a short run with BG-42 blade and 420 caplifter? ;)

There are still some scouts sitting on dealer shelves after the second run. So I doubt we'll see more until those disappear.
 
Currently, there are still Beer Scouts and Cap Lifters available at most of the usual distributors. GEC will wait for all of these to sell and then wait a while and let interest build up. They just wrapped the latest batch a little over six months ago.

It was a pretty big run this year. Draft beer acrylic, charred barrel oak (serialized), beer barrel oak, maroon linen micarta, and golden ale jigged bone.
 
I just hope the next run of Beer Scouts is anything other than a sheepsfoot. I feel like I'm set on those. :D

What I'd really like to see is a spey-and-caplifter Beer Scout, although I'm sure that wouldn't be many people's first choice. To me a spey would make sense because I think it's a good blade for food, particularly slicing things like sausages (which, of course, pair perfectly with beer).

A spey isn't a bad idea. I have a Radio Jack which is essentially the same as the Beer Scouts other than the name. It's a Spear/Caplifter and one of my favorites.

Yep. The production totals must be some kind of record for GEC. Have they ever exceeded 672 of anything before? Serious question.

DRAFT BEER ACRYLIC 457 PCS.
MAROON LINEN MICARTA 571 PCS.
GOLDEN ALE JIG BONE 534 PCS.
BEER BARREL OAK WOOD 672 PCS.
CHARRED BARREL OAK WOOD 243 PCS.

Same here. I have like 10 different Beer scouts and crown lifters. I even have a #15 boys knife with sheepsfoot. I really, really, want anything other than a sheepsfoot.

Yes please!!!! I'll buy 5!!!
 
I have a Grand Portage which is everything I want from a Beer Scout except that cool Beer Scout badge on the side. If a stainless Beer Scout shows up, I'll be grabbing one.
 
Please forgive my question if it's been covered already, but is the Beer Barrel Oak cover stabilized oak? I have two of them, and it certainly seems that way.
 
Oh, that one is perfect Ed! I searched for that one for a long time. I finally gave up.
Perfect pairing too. :D;) Thanks for showing it
 
Thanks Bob. I had a couple of those and passed one on to ~P. It is now one of those that make up her "Three Amigo" knives.
 
Very nice of you Ed. I remember ~P showing it off. :thumbsup::cool:
I've come across other variants such as Yellow jigged bone and rust red, but never the Ebony.
