would the handle size be very close to the size of the 66 pattern, and the clip blade be basicly the same as the 66 or close ? iam thinking i want a white owl, iam familer with the 66 and was curious if handle and clip were realitivley close in comparison, was thinking also about buffalo horn, will it hold up if this is going to be a EDC ? or if its going to be a user, should i stay away from the horn ? thanks.....

EDIT > was also considering the conductor as a small EDC. but looks like theres a little more blade there with the white owl, as far as the clip goes ? mabe not longer, but wider?

Thanks ! i like the slim part of a single backsping, i asume the white owl clip blade would be wider from top to the edge ?

The White Owl is,same size as the #66,minus a backspring____the conductor is smaller**

ok , the blade just seems wider , if you were to measure across it, from top down to edge on the white owl in the pic, as compared to the conductor, may just be the way i see the pic thoigh ? almost like the condutctor is more like a cailfornia clip than a reg clip.

the conductor and the #66 Mink,have a ""thinner clip,like California clip"" and the white owl and the other #66 patterns have a wider clip---
1.#66 Mink,top & #68 White Owl bottom___notice the blade sitting proud on the White Owl
2. The rest of the photos have different versions of the #66 pattern,compared to a #33 Conductor on top
Mink___Jack____Moose

Monk - Did they use that #66 frame on any other knife besides the White Owl?

Jerry,
I believe there are #66 Muskrats, Moose, Jacks, and Calf Ropers. The #68 frame for the White Owl, same size as #66 but cigar shaped instead of serpentine, is a new one.

Thanks Trand. I like the GEC's and own a handful but I sure can't rattle off those pattern numbers and models like y'all can.
