I want to find a thin slip joint made by GEC. I have not seen in person all the models made by GEC so I just thought I would ask? Im looking to replace my EDC and like thin slip joints. Thanks

Jefferey, here is one great GEC slip joint I carry
#488110 3 7/8" colsed. It comes in both the Antique walnut Jigged bone and the Stag. I own one of each but I edc the bone. 1095 carbon blade and nice and thin for a great carry knife.

+1 - What Gino said …
Also, you might want to look at the #62 easy pocket congress - I have a couple that I carry at work - makes a good 'office' knife.
If you are looking for a worker/user that is slim, you can't beat Gino's single blade 48 …

The little Mink Skinner is nice and slim, and 3 1/2 inches long. They also make a jack on the same frame with a clip and a pen blade. Very pocket friendly.

The single blade #25 barlows are fairly thin. Thinner still is the #62 half congress as well as the #33 conductor.

I don't have a good picture to show you of the #12 toothpick, but the one I have is extremely slim, very easy to put in the pocket.
I also have a number #25 Barlow in the single blade variation, it's a perfect watch pocket carry and also very slim, I would think about picking one up with a clip point though, I think you would find it better suited for multiple chores.
Here's a pic, a bit blurry but you get the idea.

Yes, I agree. A single (clip)blade 25 is very nice in the pocket.

Someone mentioned the #33 Conductor___@ 3 1/2inches,she has a small thin clip blade and a small pen blade----the #62 Congress,is 3 3/4 inches,and the wharncliffe and coping blade are both relatively thin blades___either would make a great carry knife

___good luck,with your choice,____Monk

I neglected to mention the 61 half congress. They're about the same thickness as the 62.
