Holy Smokes ! Another GEC "EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES" knife was released today. The Autumn Leaf jigged bone is really ,"BURNT SIERRA JIGGED BONE !" I guess GEC calls this knife Autumn Leaf bone to increase sales. That's OK , "GOTTA MAKE A LIVING !". This Autumn Leaf bone looks 100% better than I expected. I knew those production photos looked a little odd to me. I am crazy about Burnt Sierra jigged bone. The jigging came out wonderful too. Mr. Frank has my back on this on this one. Franks Classic Knives only let customers pick one of the three choices on the GEC#35 Beer & Sausage knives. I am going to do very well on this #35 run and I am saving up for the #74 run. I am very happy and very thankful !

They keep making up names for “brown”. I seriously doubt that it fools anyone.

I just looked at the newly posted production photos of the Autumn Leaf jigged bone #35 Beer & Sausage knives. Some look like Autumn Leaf jigged bone and some look like Burnt Sierra jigged bone. Both are super stunning , it is a win win for GEC collectors. ----- The #74 Mustang schedule was posted today ,also. Great stuff coming up soon.

Finally got around to opening the mail and here was this. Great knife. Everything right and bathed in oil. Pooling. Never seen that in a GEC wax paper before. Anyway, what I really wanted was one of the M&G 35 Trappers. If anyone wants to trade, I'm in. PM me and let me know.

All gratitude and thanks goes to Kennedy Knives today for letting me get ahold of one of these. And they are hard to find and not cheap either. I missed the boat and only got one thanks to Gary and his graciousness. This is a really pretty marbled bone, just the way I like them. Splotchy and differences in colors and looks different than the few others I've seen. Above and beyond the call of duty G K. Thanks a billion again and owe ya one. Happy camper over and out.

You got one!

Congratulations Ivoryman. I know from reading your posts how much you wanted that knife!

Congrats Iman, Mr. Kennedy did you good.

Thanks doglegg, Railsplitter. It's bitter sweet. End of an era on the SFO scene I keep hearing so it was even more of an incentive beyond just the cool size and configuration and killer bones. But it pains me to hear that and I don't expect to see anything like the M&G, or the Waynorths, or the TC Barlows, Lick Creeks, or the Northwoods anymore. You don't know how hard it is for me to write that. I think they are going to stop making their best knives, their best sellers, their cream of the crop. Can't believe a company would do that. They should just charge more. But GEC don't ask me. And to me the SFOs are better than regular GEC knives. Nothing wrong with the regular GEC of course, but there are significant differences to me and those very differences are the reason I look for the SFOs over regular GEC. Love GEC. Just love, love, love Northwoods, Waynorth, Lick Creek, TC Barlows, Gunstock Jacks, Franks, etc, etc even better. Love them. End of my favorites era.

I predict that the GEC SFO's will return. I can't help thinking that it's only temporary and if they do return, I don't think it will be too long from now. Just a prediction but that's what I think.

Hey I hope you're right, but not holding my breath because I contacted KSF weeks ago when I first heard about the end of SFOs. Well they gave me the run around when I asked when the next Northwoods was coming out. Wouldn't answer the question at all, or even give me a pattern #. They did not confirm, nor deny the idea that Northwoods SFOs were over when I asked them directly, and they were cagey and vague about everything they did say as if they were hiding something. I asked this question of them a few years or so ago when I just wanted to get on the list and be notified about new releases and they were happy to oblige and told me it was coming when the next batch of GEC of that pattern was coming. They aren't saying that anymore. At least to me. I think GEC just killed their golden goose and they know it but don't want to lose followers by telling people like me there won't be anymore. They know that's all I follow them for and buy from them anyway.

I ate Wild hog pork chops and the best link sausage from Piggly Wiggly . I always eat too fast . MY ebony-wood B&S #35 slowed me down and I really enjoyed my food.

Opened up the GEC 35 Beer & Sausage package today. This is the Autumn Leaf jigged bone model. Pretty knife, but I can't really appreciate the "blade" configuration. I would have preferred a redo of the Bladeforums Harness Jack with nice scales.

A pair courtesy of KennedyKnives. Great knives, can't find any flaws. Great size and pattern. Great SFO.
