Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
Barry told me he has an SFO coming in the new #15 Beer Scout pattern. It's going to be handled in Brazilian Bloodwood with Robeson style shield (bow-tie or gimp).
I've become infatuated with the Beer Scout and discovered the yellow ones (Sunbrite Acrylic) glows in the dark. It is the same material as the Nifebrite Acrylic but coated with yellow on the back. There will be two bone versions, smooth ivory and chestnut sawcut. Ebony and cocobolo will also be available.

Yes Jerry, I have two already paid for and on the way, sunbrite and tortoise shell acrylic. With smooth bone coming in sometime next week. Also going to get one of Barry's SFOs whenever they pop! Also have a TC in Evergreen coming in any day. Also, there will be Soda Scouts as well in Micarta and other materials I wasnt interested in.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I haven't seen and didn't know about the Soda Scouts.
Barry thought his shipment would show up yesterday but since it didn't, maybe today. At first I was going to get one of the yellow acrylics but now I'm leaning toward a smooth white bone.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
Since I'm only getting one, I'm in a bit of a quandary.

Hey Jerry
I have many of the GEC knives, including some with sunbrite covers. For what its worth, in my opinion, the tortoise shell is the most desirable of the covers released to date. To me, the shield looks best on the tortoise.
That said, if you don't have one of the glow in the dark (heat activated) covers, this knife would be very cool too.

habitant400 - Glad you're happy with the acrylic tortoise shell but that's part of my problem. I'm more of a natural material kind of guy.

Stick to your guns if you're not ready for acrylic, Jerry! I understand completetly, like I said, the smooth bone is coming my way too.

Perry, I have a half-dozen Acrylics but right now, it has to be pretty special to add another.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I used to not want the acrylics either, but then I convinced myself that GEC was doing such a great job with them that they had to be collected. Some of them are really one of a kind works of art.
I like all the covers. After more than 200 hundred knives, the only one I've questioned was a primitive bone that seemed to have enough factory body work to no longer be considered primitive.
The smooth bone gets better with use.

That is hilarious...I literally Laughed Out Loud about that primitive bone comment!
Good points all around. I, like Jerry, am not really "into" acrylic covers, and yet, I can't deny that some of those GEC's with acrylic scales are quite attractive. So, I can totally understand Jerry's dilemma. Since so many of us respect Jerry's opinions, this makes for some pretty high drama...what will Jerry choose?

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
Here's the Beer Scout in Tortoise shell. Now these aren't SFOs but some are going to be. Barry's SFO will be done in bloodwood, with what I call a Yukon shield with no markings on the shield,,,should be beautiful!
