What GEC pattern would you like to see?

[Foilist]

If GEC ever made a small scout pattern - like a scaled version of their harness jack with bottle and can openers - I would buy it in a heartbeat and my other knives would get stuffed in a drawer.

 

[Bastid]

Sealed (capped) bolster Dr knife. Nobody (other than custom makers) makes them anymore. The only three custom makers I know of are Joel, Richard and Ryu.

 

[mckgreg]

3 3/4" or bigger Dogleg Jack.

 

[wintermute]

Swell center or equal end jack BUT 3-3/4" or smaller - I'd love for GEC to do more knives around the size of their Barlow.

 

[warden41272]

I'd like to see a 3 3/4" gunstock trapper, or a similar sized bulldog pattern.

Could you explain the capped bolster please? Thanks:thumbup:

In answer to the question: Barehead Slimline Trapper or Teardrop

I'd like to see a 3 3/4" gunstock trapper, or a similar sized bulldog pattern.

Oh yes, I'd like to see a gunstock but 3 1/2". Id also like the small blade to be a wharncliffe.

I'm with Bastid on this, a doctor's knife would be great. Capped bolsters would be even better.

A few other things I wouldn't mind seeing:

A slimline, shadow pattern, single-bladed, wharncliffe trapper. But GEC style.
A beefy sodbuster in a variety of blade configurations. (is it still a sodbuster if it has a sheepsfoot blade?)

I'd also like to see them switch to stainless steel liners and bolsters. (hey, as long as we're dreaming!)

 

[texasflyfisher]

Oh please, please a 3 3/4" sowbelly stockman of the same quality as their larger 4 1/4" equal end (cigar) stockman that I really love!

A capped bolster is a solid-ended bolster, with a solid piece that covers the end of the knife- meant for crushing pills. This means there are no gaps for the powder to get pushed into. Most doctor's knives today have the "sandwich" bolster arrangement, like other slipjoints. I think nobody does the capped bolster anymore, because you either have to weld or mill the bolster to get it to work.

A Peanut from GEC would be fine.

 

[Sword and Shield]

I'll take a full-size Scout, or maybe the large Scout like Remington made.

Don't they already make that one? I think it's the Model 23 Pioneer.

 

[Jenner 515]

4" Clip Point Hunter. Single blade...similar to the Schrade 123OT

 

[navihawk]

3 5/8 stockman, a small trapper both without half stops and more ebony. I don't own a GEC yet but they're on my short list.

 

[Bob W]

I'd love to see a Senator with 1095 steel. :thumbup:

 

[Steven65]

I would like a large stockman and I would like to see the liner locks with stainless blades....

 

[Ice Tigre]

4" (3-7/8 through 4-1/8" is fine) 2 blade copperhead/2 blade folding hunter.
A peanut.

 

[Mongo]

Sealed (capped) bolster Dr knife. Nobody (other than custom makers) makes them anymore. The only three custom makers I know of are Joel, Richard and Ryu.

I'm with Bastid... (except on the goat thing...) I'd like to see a BIG Dr. pattern with spatula. I have a thing for stag handled Dr.'s with spatulae.

Nope. Think the Boy Scout knife or a Vic Soldier- that's a Scout pattern, regardless of what GEC uses the name as.
