Now this is right up my alley

If they do some in Ebony, I may never need another knife. Well, let's not get out of hand

Ebony would be sweet on that pattern.

At least 1/4" in length......and looks to be a litter wider near the bottom bolster if not overall.
We will probably will see a fatter spear on this pattern than on the #15, when it becomes available with a spear main.

Same knife they released in 2010/2011, as ""Dogleg Jack"" with a "'Muskrat Clip"" main blade & ""Diamond Shield""___ 3 7/8 inch ____ great size for EDC***

Monk - the OP is asking about the new #78 pattern......not the new #48 Diamond Jack.

3.75" vs 3.5"(boys knife)

Should be a bit fatter with thicker/wider blade stock.

More hand friendly IMO

Monk -- Ya know how you will accidentaly drift over on the Interstate once in a great while and hit those rumble strips? And then your wife starts giving you a ration of crap about watching where you're going? Well, don't worry about it pal. It ain't no thing.

Looks like it'll be similar to the Case 31 jack, which is a dandy! I'll be puttin' one of 'em in my pocket fer sure.

Barry, that's really the only reason you went into dealing, isn't it. (so you could be one of the first to get your hands on all those new GECs) Fess up ole son.

I think that it's probably true that all knife dealers are collectors first Jerry!

Alas, lack of funds forces me to sell most, but I do get to inspect and fondle them! Nice work if you can get it!

My buddy and I were running errands yesterday and he had me stop at Randee's Music so he could pick up a guitar. Met a young man who works there that's an outstanding guitar player. You can tell he LOVES his work. How many people get the opportunity to get paid for doing what they love?

Gunstock Jack · Post by **Gunstock Jack** » Sat Oct 26, 2013 12:11 am

That's right Jerry, and... wait, he gets paid???

oldblinddog · Post by **oldblinddog** » Sun Dec 01, 2013 4:07 am

Are they going to make these or what?

IMBand · Post by **IMBand** » Sun Dec 01, 2013 4:15 am

My guess is yes. It's not on the Production Schedule yet as you may have noticed......then it looks like there are a few SFO's coming next and some #71's. Probably won't see the #78 until the end of January or so......

Only a guess on my part, who knows what they will do.

Instead they made the Farm Boy...not only wrong, but also backwards.

oldblinddog · Post by **oldblinddog** » Sat Jan 11, 2014 11:59 pm

Really???????

Cutty · Post by **Cutty** » Sun Jan 12, 2014 12:01 am

As long as they make at least one in Ebony for me, i'll be just fine waiting.

oldblinddog · Post by **oldblinddog** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 2:45 am

I saw some in what I assumed was ebony. Also, some brown jigged something that is presumably bone.

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 4:33 pm

Cutty -- Do these look like Ebony to you???

big monk · Post by **big monk** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 5:32 pm

Seems like,GEC has been using more & more of the Macassar Ebony ( with the brown streaks ) on the Tidioute label knives ???----than the Gabon Ebony (really black) ?????___for the ""black-black"' knives---- the African Blackwood models have taken the place, and have the ""Northfield Blings""______always somethin' goin' on for everyone !!!!!

Cutty · Post by **Cutty** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 5:51 pm

I would rather have the black-black.

Those look pretty good though. Will see what the finished knives look like

I have a birthday coming up soon enough................pretty sure I know what i'ma gettin'
