All About Pocket Knives

For me, 3 1/2" Wharncliffe Trapper in 1095.

And, you?

I would like to see a 4 blade scout using the cuban cigar frame.

I like both of those suggestions. How about a peanut with a secondary wharncliff blade as long as the main blade?

Anglo-Saxon whittler or a 4 1/2" budding and pruning with nice peach seed handles or a larger '57.

Peanut.

I would love to see a traditional 4 blade scout knife, on a 3 5/8"-3 3/4" equal end frame. With a SAK type can opener.
Also some bigger hunter styles.. like -Case 65, coke bottle, etc.

i was thinking the bullet end jack would be nice with a clip insted of spear, anyone elese ? with ebony, that knife really has a good old time look to me.

Peanut.
Barlow with a big clip main blade and a equally sized wharncliffe as the secondary. Swedges on both.
Copperhead, like the one Queen has out.
Folding hunter, like Case's 65.
Stag Bull Nose work knife.
More knives with stainless and 0-1 tool steel.

On the #48 Frame
- Wharncliffe Trapper using the narrower clip blade on the single blade #48 in 1095 and 440c
- Trapper Jack also using the narrower clip blade on the single blade #48 with the pen blade opening on the mark side. Also in 1095 and 440c
- 440c single blades

On the #66 Frame
- A wharncliffe jack/trapper in 1095 and 440c
- The other #66 patterns in 440c

A larger #25 Barlow

A peanut

#65 with secondary pen blade.....in front of main.
Scout Knife
More 3 1/4" to 3 5/8" knives with Liner-locks.
Congress Jack

There are others I would like to see, but theres a few.

Exactly! I'm not a fan of the big spear blade, but love the bullet end jack shape, and ebony.

This would also be very nice.

I would also like to see more knives offered in stainless varieties … maybe even some of the CPM steels (eg. S30V, S60V, etc) … Some of the crucible steels rival carbon in edge taking and holding … or so I'm told ….

I know GEC is old school, but why not take advantage of old school build with new school steel? … would that be taboo?

If so, maybe we should start a new company - "Taboo Cutlery, LLC" … !

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BETTER PULLS ON THE #23's
The 23's are one of my favorites and they are alot of knife for the money......but the nail nicks are TOO SMALL imo.
Even with the more reasonable snap of later models, alot of them are still not real easy to open.
The nailnick is too shallow imo....especially on the Northfields with the long swedge.
Matchstrike and LongPull models are better.....but not alot out there for sale that are in the $80-$100 range.
Hoping to see a nice High Pull done on a #23, or at least DEEPER NAIL NICKS that are not 'swedged to death'...LOL.

Edge......

GEC did produced a Northwoods Gladiator(#53 Moose)Scagel nail cut outs w/S60v supplied from the new owners,but let's wait to see what Tuna Valley has in store.................................fancy steels and here I'd like to see jigged and dyed bone similar to those produced from Schrade years ago....

Northfield #45's PLEASE!!!

Here are some handle material ideas.......

Natural Stag - w/saw
Burnt Stag - single
American Elk - w/saw
Sawcut Saddle Brown Bone - w/saw
Red Smooth Bone - single
Primitive Bone - single
Redneck Orange Derlin - w/saw
Seashell Percrylic - single
Rosewood - w/saw
Orange Osage Wood - w/saw

Maybe all the single models with EndCap rather than Lanyard Tube.

#23 with a wharncliffe. And I agree, I like the long pulls better than the small nail nick.

IM....

What's your favorite pattern again........

Hey................ ...............its FREE to ask...................

I think a Scout would be great on their #53/54 cigar frame, or even a Jr. Scout on the #68 White Owl frame.

I'd definitely be in for a GEC Peanut too!

A couple interesting things on the GEC site today.
First, looks like there will be endcaps for at least some of the Northfield #45's!!
Second.....the Pioneer Bone #73's look ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!
It's gonna be awesome watching these Roughnecks take shape, and the Missouri TNT, well......that one
will be HOT!!!

For sure I like the scout idea. I know it's impossible but I'd like to see them take over the Remington Scout reproduction program (just saying). I think they would knock it out of the park They would be worth the price and then some.
Have they ever made a swinguard? How about the large 5.5" 50L frame?
