Re: GEC#29 Stockyard Whittler knife 2019

"Clumpy Kitty Litter Acrylic" ! I bet it would be a hot seller. Lee are you in marketing ? Folks, send pictures of your kitty's litter box to GEC so they can come up with the right look for this new handle material. kj Ha ha, no, I'm not in marketing but every now and then I feel like I c...

Re: GEC#29 Stockyard Whittler knife 2019

So in the #29 we've got a Eureka pattern, and cattle knife blades in a whittler configuration with three springs that's being called a "Stockyard whittler". Probably an identity crisis, but most of us can agree that it's a nice, well built knife with three useful blades... But nobody here ...

Re: GEC#29 Stockyard Whittler knife 2019

This is another example of commercial marketing incorrectly using a knife term/word. A whittler is a 2 spring, 3 blade knife in which the master blade bears on both springs. The GEC #29 is a 3 spring, 3 blade knife. It lacks the important feature of the master blade bearing on 2 springs. So what is...

Re: H-X0 Fixed Blades

Got these. The yellow ones from 2007. Nice collection! Is the yellow one bone or synthetic? I like how the shield is on the "pile" side so it shows while in the sheath. Nice touch. My eye is drawn to the bone handle in the middle, probably my favorite of the three. Are they all H10's? - Lee

I don't understand why it matters what GEC calls this jigged bone. You either like it or you don't. "A rose by any other name smells as sweet". kj Roland, you're right about GEC taking liberties with their bone color names. The Beer Scout "Golden Ale" is almost identical to the ...
