Who's getting a Little Jack or Watch Pocket Barlow?

As I read your story I thought, wow, that's exactly what I was up to last night. Only difference was that I actually managed to order mine in time, this time, avoiding that familiar feeling of disappointment you described. About a micro-second later it dawned on me, oh, wait a minute, I think I'm that someone.:eek::o I must've hummed & hawed 29 min. to your 30. I don't actually know if it's #59 but I'm guessing it probably is.
Last year I wanted a particular Freemont jack & I'd just missed it, only to end up happier with the one I got. Hopefully will be the same for you btb01. :thumbup:

Nice! If it is #59, I'll look forward to seeing some pics of it here when you get it! :D

If I remember right, these little ones are a favorite of yours.

Oh, very much so! I've long admired KSF's blue camel bone, too, so this is a happy confluence.

Of sorts(!).

Came in today. Not much light left when I got home, so I just snapped a quick pic. I'll have to take some better ones later. Surprisingly heavy pull for such a small knife, but not a nail-breaker. I really like it. Unfortunately, I have to put it away for a few weeks as I'm supposed to be getting it for Christmas.

Looks like we'll be getting good snakewood grain patterns.

I just ordered a sheepsfoot easy-open with a long pull in Chechen Rosewood. I am really excited to get it. This will be my smallest GEC yet, and one I can carry in my jeans's 5th pocket.
 
Checked with my favorite dealer today, and I've got the chechen, a red micarta, and a natural stag coming. All in the easy open. Can't wait.
 
I got my gec 25 in today (sheepfoot/Chechen). This is a very cool knife, it really has surprised me because when I ordered it I wasn't to sure if I would like it and I had a preconceived notion that it was going to be a chunky single bladed knife. It's actually really thin, it's even thinner then my gec 77 sheepfoot, I'm glad I was wrong. This is a great little knife.
 
^^ yes they're making watch pocket barlow. Looks like after regular run . Their is a link on rt side column on gec site.

I just saw that. The Sawcut Old Tan looks nice. I have one GEC on the way (my first) and already want another and a Northwoods [emoji51]
 
Does anyone have a picture of both the 25 and 83 from GEC? I have a model 83 and it seems the 25 is close in size. I am considering the 25 even though my 83 is an excellent EDC for the office.

I don't have photo capabilities at the moment but I'm sure someone will oblige. I do own an 83 and two 25's and personally, I like the 25's a lot better. The little big knife aspect of the 25's is hard to resist. They are robust little buggers and they can be very addicting. I can't imagine you being disappointed.

I carry a small jack in my watch pocket daily, not a GEC but a Schrade 72OT Dogleg Jack. Sub 3 inches closed with F&F to rival the best GEC.

Well, I'm sold on the blue camel bone now. Can't wait to see it in person. Like some others here, I didn't expect to like the #25 as much as I do, but it's a great little pattern.
 
I got two more for the collection, but I have a feeling the GF will take possession of the red micarta.

Here's all three of my 25s, but the Bocote is in the fifth pocket, today.

I really like these 25s.
