New 2020 Maher & Grosh.

Trapper on a GEC #23 ?
I hope there might be a single blade version.

WOW Roger!!!
Could it be the #120 2 blade, bone Indian Trapper with rat tail bolsters?

Could be.

[kootenay joe]

The M&G catalog info on the "Indian Trapper" does not give size, other than 'same as image'. The GEC #54 is an equal end but at 4" is a fairly large knife.
Maybe a #68 which is 3 1/2" equal end might be the one ?
But this is all just enjoyable speculation until the 2020 M&G knife is revealed.

Good point kj.
My 1900 Maher & Grosh catalog also states: "Same as image" which I have found to be very accurate with the original M & G knives and also all of Roger's past beautiful knives.
The M&G #120 2 blade, bone Indian Trapper with rat tail bolsters measures at (approx) 3 & 3/4" in the catalog. Perhaps it will be offered with Stag handles?
I have posted many guesses of the past knives that Roger and Ken have produced and I've been incorrect in ALL of my guesses.
However, this time I think I'm correct. (again)
Patiently waiting for more hints.

Roger's thumbs up and "could be" might be to throw us off course, barking up the wrong tree.
If GEC is the manufacturer, they do not have a 3.75" equal end pattern. The #99 is 3.75 and is almost equal end.
Dan, are there any other M&G knives with "Trapper" etch in your catalog ?

No other knife in the catalog with a blade listed with "The Trapper" or with a Rat Tail bolster. The "Match Strike Pull" is missing on my posted picture above though.
It's funny because all of Roger's past knives have been listed within my 1900 catalog.
However, I do believe that Roger has all of M&Gs old catalogs.
Roger is an expert at this, and most likely has a very large smile on his face as he reads this.

I believe Maher & Grosh SFO GEC knife will be on a #35 frame. GEC is making #35 parts right now. GEC is out of Bovine Cattle Bone right now. A Maher & Grosh #35 in Gabon Ebony wood would not surprise me at all. I dream of a Maher & Grosh #35 in Antique Honey jigged bone. A Maher & Grosh #35 in Sambar Stag with a badge shield would be awesome. GEC has stated that no more shields on Sambar Stag scales. So I guess that won't happen. Chocolate Almond peach-seed jigged was the best new GEC color of 2019. I am getting burnt out on Brown/yellow jigged bone knives. I have never bought a Maher & Grosh knife before . When they offer at knife that really blows me away , I will pay their price. The #35 frame is 3 3/4" closed and it would make a perfect "Indian Trapper" !

Won't be too much longer guys.

Won't be too much longer guys.

That's wonderful news Roger .
My Maher & Grosh family is getting lonely.

[peanut740]

Well Dan,you will have a chance to grow the family!

[Old Folder]

Thank you Roger.
COVID-19 might slow down Maher & Grosh, however, it does not stop it!

[Trouts]

Excited about these. Hoping they have an ebony and stag available.

Anyone know if the new M&G will be plentiful? Enough to go around? I've bought everyone for my collection except the Queen made ones. Probably some of the most beautiful knives GEC has made. Have a feeling that with GEC stopping SFO"s, these will fly off the shelves. A best kept little secret is now no longer a secret. Look what happened to their inventory after the announcement. As an old Ohio bred boy, I hope I can snag one of each. They are kind of special. Hopefully, somehow, this won't be the last of the new M&G's. That would be a shame.

Getting close guys.Should be ready by Thursday if we receive the last few we are waiting on.We will try to get an email out the day prior to them going on the website.

[Railsplitter]

Thanks for the pics Roger! I've been dying to see these. Gotta love those rat tail bolsters. Those all look great!

[Trouts]

Thanks for the update Rodger. These look great. Do they have half stops?

[JohnR]

Looking good Roger

Quadruplets Yowza.

I’ve got to say, was really hoping for long pulls, but the way M&G does old school cool is absolutely fantastic! I’ll definitely grab one or two

I've have had 3 originals and still have 1.All were regular nail nicks.The catalog cut had a long pull,so they must have done both.

Any idea whether it’ll be this afternoon or later this evening? Working man here and I’m usually in bed by 7-8 eastern. Would hate to miss these

All I can say is that this is the most practical M&G remake to date. And, actually, one of the better GEC options that I have seen outside of Farm and Field Tool.
