Hi Guys, the 85 JBF Champlin knife will be a spear blade similar to the one shown in the ad on the GEC site. The difference is that the secondary blade is in the front like it usually is on older knives. We will be doing a clip blade down the line a bit with the same stamping but the etch might be different. We need to see how this first offering goes and decide where to go from there. We have many patterns we would like to use and most are patterns that GEC has not made yet. Please email me if you want to talk about the 85 or any other questions you might have about what we are trying to do.

All the best, Mike
