Same blade options as the similar-ish #13 Clerk run of 2017, too.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 6:02 am This 62 half congress is the same as in 2013, wharncliffe master and pen secondary. I would have liked to see different blades this time. Use a wharncliffe for the secondary blade and have either a spear point or long pen blade as the master. But instead it is a repeat of the 2013 #62.
There are two different #62 unicorn ivory acrylic Easy Pocket Congress knives. You have the grainy version. There is a solid slick white ivory version too. JSR Sports & More offers both versions. The other dealers need to be contacted before purchase , if it matters to you. I have one arm , so I like the grainy version best.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 8:41 pm Surprised I haven’t seen more of these 62’s posted. This is my second one, Unicorn Ivory Acrylic. Like this acrylic handle better than just about any I have seen. It’s not got that slick feel that the 86 tortoise shell acrylic has. This is a gorgeous knife. It looks really good next to the blood red and my Northfield Maverick in King Wood.
Pictures please.
I think making a banana shield knife in Goldenrod camel bone was a bad choice by Bill Howard. Those production line pictures were not very appealing. Thank God GEC split the production numbers with #62 Easy Pocket Congress Goldenrod camel bone square bar shield knives. I asked for the lightest one available. We will see how that rolls. The square bar shield looks very classy. The banana shields are a marketing gimmick that works for increase sales.gsmith7158 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2020 6:41 pm I just picked up the Northfield camel bone 62. It looks to be most pocket friendly. Anyone care to comment on it's attributes?
Hear ! Hear ! One of the big appeals of GEC is the crazy prices on Evil-bay. GEC does not make a dime from Evil-bay. If you paid $80 to $100 for a knife many years ago and now that knife will fetch $200 to $400 on Evil-bay. That is great un-paid advertisement . GEC saves the best most wanted scales for the SFO knives. (12 to 100 pieces ) By driving up the value of certain GEC knives , gives the allusion that all GEC knives will increase in value. "Harley-Davidson" did the same thing in the 1980s . The Harley-Davidson bubble has busted. The new riders care nothing about made in the USA. The big knife market is tactical knives , not traditional knives. One day there will not be enough new young collectors to fill the void. The traditional knife bubble will bust. I am hoping that TV Shows like "Forged with Fire" will increase future knife collectors and blade-smiths .Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 6:09 pm I agree with kj. I had said the same a few pages back, a spear point or a clip blade would have been nice.
About the banana. I have no interest in one of these. The color is not much different from the Goldenrod and I hate that banana shield. I wasn’t going to order the goldenrod but I did anyway. I got two of the blue camel bones and a little disappointed that the color is so washed out, I was hoping for a darker blue. My guess is the goldenrod will be washed out also.
Again I ask: why does GEC do so much with the yellow and brown colors? Their maroon is gorgeous. The tractor green and the blue sawcut bone on the Northwoods is so much better. I just can’t figure out the logic of having so many brown and yellow knives, especially when they do the other colors so well?
