Found some photos on Bladeforums while doing some digging. Definitely a fan of this layout! I like the sheepsfoot pattern in my work knives, and this one has a long screwdriver. I know GEC pricing, but I know this is also cheaper than an old Remington Radio Knife which I'd be afraid to use because of its age. Definitely a better layout than the old one which had that strangely styled saw that wasn't very effective on wood.
Hoping there will be factory seconds of this one so I won't be as afraid to use it.

I think that saw was a drywall saw for cutting out electrical boxes, etc.

Nice they are making a larger pattern. Looks bigger then 3 7/8. Not a fan of specialty blades, but they will sell like hotcakes.

Good looking knife. The pinning is nicer than most GEC's.

That’s a good looking 56, prefer the smooth micarta over the jigged micarta from the production run.
