All About Pocket Knives

I have not been following the recent GEC knife runs and was just looking at Gunstock Jacks and see a "GEC 152118 TIDIOUTE W/ BAIL & CHAIN - ANTIQUE YELLOW" for $98 and it is available. Next to it is: "GEC 151118 B&C TIDIOUTE W/ BAIL & CHAIN - SFO BY CHARLIE CAMPAGNA" for $199 and these are sold out. The difference is the C.C. version has a clip blade not the spearpoint.
Have there been any other runs of the #15 pattern that cost twice the price of the regular run ones ?
Have you ever seen a Charlie Campagna SFO retail for double regular example ? Note: "retail" not the secondary flippers.

The only 15 I really cared about from the 2018 run, the TC Ancient Barlow, retailed for about 2x what I'd expect a typical unadorned single-spear boy's knife on the same frame to command right now. Put a longer bolster on it, beat it up some, and put Charlie's name on it and you're getting some good money and a promise for a future profitable flip! Maybe not at Whaler levels but nobody's going to lose money on a mint TC.

It's enough to make a guy want to fish his brand new "old-looking" Barlow out of the tube and go cut something with it.

It was pretty amazing how many people wanted that Clip blade!! It probably would be voted the most popular blade style at this time!

Yes, i would prefer the clip blade too. Basically GEC has used a spear point for so many of their knives that we are starved for a nice clip. And many of the Northwoods have the Bohncliffe further starving us of a clip blade knife.
