But it seems in the second five they had a few more “out there” patterns. I love em all though.

2017 brought us the stud of out-there patterns, the Calf Pen! Love it, can't get enough of it.
It was a good time for Farm & Field all around. The Bullnose here is 2017 and the Hay'n Helper is 2016.


Scrolling though this thread is blowing me away! What an awesome few years for GEC.

The calf pen may be the king of the weirdos, but honestly feels “right” in hand. I’ve always been curious if there’s some historical precedent for the blade combo, or if it was just a wild idea that made it to production.

Calf pen is oddly one of my absolute favorites and a pleasure to carry and use

Using the screwdriver bit has never once occurred to me while I was actually carrying that knife. 🤔 I have a feeling it will now.

Ive heard you are not supposed to torque traditionals as it might loosen the pivot given enough torque. That was one of my early reasons for getting rid of the ebony or micarta beer scout that I had way back then. Also not a fan of the bail, and gimmicky bottle openers, I collect bottle openers and have several from 99 cents stores that do the job spectacularly. But with the calf pen closed, i reckon it would make it a functionable tool as a flat head in a pinch. Im sure Randy's engineering is solid tho, he did used to work for NASA.

Maybe I'll just leave the screw-driving to the screwdrivers. Like you mention, the Calf Pen driver is on the liner (and probably fine to use) but why chance it.

I've learned, and I keep re-learning, that I can't be trusted with a bail. If there's a bail around, I've probably closed a blade on it.

I haven’t done anything to them. Might just be the lighting. I’ll see if I can get a better picture
