We have had corkscrews on various traditional knives from Switzerland and Germany, as well as France, and we have had bottle openers and combs from GEC, so a corkscrew could be an option for them too.

Possibly not made by them as it will require new equipment but it will suit a camp style knife, fork, bottle opener, corkscrew, possibly even a blade :)

What do you think?
 
I can see a combination pen blade and corkscrew on opposite ends, something like the nice old Bruckmann's.

What I really wish GEC would do is bring out new runs of their older ones; like the 09 Esquire instead of a new design every couple of months. They have some great new runs but some of us would like to be able to get more of our old favorites without paying highly inflated prices.

I'm just waiting for them to do the freakin 22s again. I LOVE small knives but passed on those at the time because I stupidly thought they were just a slight variation of the 76 lol. I only realized AFTER they were all gone that they were mini-gunstocks. Been kicking myself ever since.
 
I vote "maybe".
In the USA portion of North America, is there an adult beverage manufacturer that uses cork to seal the bottle? waynorth waynorth Do you know if any adult beverage manufacturer in your section of North America uses cork to seal their bottles?
I don't recall anything but expensive to "Lunar" Euro and Russian imports using cork, when I managed a liquor store, during the 1996 to 1998 era.

("Lunar": There was available for order in the distributors catalog a 750 ml bottle of Spanish or Italian (I forget which ... it wasn't French) wine we did not stock, but could special order for a customer, for a small  nonrefundable deposit, of course, equal to our cost: $15,000.⁰⁰ (15 grand in USD's) with 7% Sales tax and the standard 75% profit due when it was picked up by the customer.
(customers were given the total including deposit plus tax price when special orders were made.)
the nonrefundable deposit equal to our cost on all special orders was to ensure the store would not be out anything if (when?) the customer did not show to get it after it arrived. I never did get to order a bottle of that 15 grand wholesale wine ... Maybe if we had been in NYC, NY or Lost Wages, NV ... instead of Kansas ... someone would have ordered it?)

Although screw-tops are becoming more prevalent in all levels/qualities, many wines made in the Canadian Pacific Northwest are still corked!!
 
I used the corkscrew on my Vic Mauser so much, I managed to sprain it! :eek: ;)

I hope they do and it just contains a bottle opener, a corkscrew, a beard comb, and a fork. The complaining people would do would be hilarious and they would sell like hotcakes.

People have been saying that in the US there is no need for bottle openers, as all bottles have twist caps, but GEC still made models with bottle openers and I assume they were able to sell the odd one.
 
in that case, i eagerly await the day the whats at the end of the hall is a picture of inspector gadget
