So at least one vote for a version without a bail. I would bet my knife allowance that GEC will, at some point, release the same pattern without the bail. But you could always remove the bail, as I did on my Wenger SAK. And I look forward to seeing some cool lanyards attached...

Looking at photos of the bail I'd be gratuitous to know how you go about removing such. Definitely going to stick a lanyard on mine

Don't have any idea how many are on order but I would imagine Mike is paying close attention to the reserved knives and will decide based on that.
Tim, if the bails are going to be like in past knives, I would guess they would be easily removed. I know some EOs that GEC produced a few years back had bails you could buy separately and attach.
 
Put a needle nose pliers in the bail and open it up to remove it. Of course, then you have a hole in your knife! :eek:
 
So many early reserves for GEC to pump out. by the looks of it. Ah thank you. Hopefully they'll come off fine. So many accoutrements on this upcoming model.
 
It didn't say "w/tube" thus I'm assuming a built on bail which would require a little more mechanican (red neck spelling). But I will confirm.

Ah nevertheless, bail or w/o bail I imagine it'll be looking quite great
thank you for making all this buzz and speculation possible Mr. Latham, only adds to the fun end result :D

Great. A production cap lifter. Would have preferred a cap end bolster...But...I'll take it.
 
I don't mind a bail, I've got some lanyards with glow-in-the-dark skulls to attach to them, for the whole traditional aesthetic thing. :)
 
I saw this yesterday in the early reserve and I made sure to reserve a few within seconds of getting the notification. I really want the tortoise shell!

With this being a production run and not an SFO, everyone should be able to get one....now you all can stop requesting the cap lifter for the Blade Forums knife!!!!!!!

Maybe but I'm sure a small handful of people will buy them all up and resell them for 2-3 the $$ on the exchange and the auction site. At least that's been the case with all of the recent GEC releases.

This is not the place to have that discussion. Take it to FEEDBACK: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly!.
 
Let me go find this one........

Done!!!!!! Awesome!

There are three I really want, but the budget says pick one. Maybe two. That smooth bone may be sweet. I like the Sunbrite. And one of those woods......

Count me in for one. Id take a bail. This one might take the place of my Queen TL-29 on my belt. Problem is if shes too pretty to put to everyday work.
 
Guys, I have been lobbying GEC for months to make the Beer Scout, and I'm ecstatic that it is finally becoming a reality! Don't worry too much about reserving these as there should be PLENTY to go around! I don't sell knives I don't have (yet), but I have several dozen factory models ordered plus an additional order of SFO's. There may be more SFO's by other dealers as well. Everyone should have ample time to score one or more of these beauties! August is the predicted release date. :)

Where does one join up with the Beer Scout Troop?
