All About Pocket Knives

I've been saving my GEC shekels. It's not been a conscious effort but it was lodged in the back of my mind. The object of my savings program may be on the way. Since my imagination isn't really all that good, I'll have to wait for the completed product but I think the object of my imagined affections is the NORTHWOODS #31.

Waiting. Waiting.

Kinda looks like the case/bose Norfolk,I like bigger knives so this one wont ruin my budget

I'm going to hazzard a guess here of 3-1/2" closed?????????????????? Give or take a quarter inch.

This is going to be a really nice knife. We have several blade configurations planned.

I know this is terrible, but I can't remember. We talked about it early on, but I have slept since then. I think 3.25.

Only sfo knives get northfield finish with ebony handles...
only time will tell

I hope it's larger than 3-1/4". If wishes were horses...

Wow! If it comes out just like it shows in the diagram, looks pretty sweet. The blades sure do tuck nicely into the handle.

Every knife I have had Bill at GEC make for me has been great. His drawings are generally spot on.

What kind of materials will be used for the handles?

Ebony, smooth bone, elephant ivory, and stag. .

Should be good.

Very cool! looking forward to seeing the final product.

Derrick,

When should we expect to see these knives on your site?

I forgot to ask, half-stops?

Don't know about the half stops....I suspect they will be ready in the next couple weeks. GEC is working on them now.

here they are...

Derrick, the video does not work. I have an elephant ivory on its way to me, I am looking forward to receiving it. I am tempted to order a second one with different scales ..........

Not sure why the video didn't work. Here is the link

I received my #31 today and it really is a sweet knife. It is really well made and I love the Wharnie blade, which does not have a half-stop but has nice snap. It will be competing with my GEC's conductors for pocket time. The Leather Moccasin? It totally dwarfs the #31. Something smaller with much softer leather would fit this knife more appropriately. Moccasin aside, I am very happy with my #31. Good Job!

Glad you like it! The moccasin works well for throwing the knife in a pack or the like, it doesn't work very well for the pocket. It is a cool substitute for a box, so we didn't worry about it being the perfect size for the knife. it is a one-size-fits-most solution.

The moccasin is certainly a great substitute for a box. I didn't mean to come off as ungrateful, I have it already paired up with another GEC (and maybe a future Northwoods ?).

I got us a little off focus as the #31 is a splendid knife!

- David

Nope--no problem. I just wanted to clarify that we didn't try to match them by size.

I really like my #31.

Derrick - what are the dimensions of the #79?

Sorry...I was out of pocket for a few days. This should answer the question...
