Vicky,

We have all been real interested on what the 68 will be.  I am still thinking the name "white owl" was dirived from the cigar.  So with that in mind I say its a cigar whittler.  What do you think it might be?

 

I also see there is a

• Lumber Jack Pattern

any thoughts on that?

I haven't heard about the Lumber Jack Pattern yet but it sounds like it should be a beefy knife. As far as the #68 goes, I don't have a clue but it sure is fun to see it develop!

Seems to me its a cigar or equal end jack, similiar to the old Camillus 23 pattern.  Compare it to the picture of the frame on the GEC website.

I am thinking the same thing David.  If you look at picture number 1 it shows the frame but has no caption

Vicky,

The #68 definitely has my attention, I like the equal end frame a cigar wouldn't bother me. I love the name so I think the knife will be just as good. Right now I'm going to enjoy the suspense of waiting, but I think they have another great one on the way.

Looks too small though.  I would like to see an equal end thats more on par with the Camillus #23,  4 1/4" or so, not built on a 3 1/2" frame.

The Regular clip interests me more than the spear, but I think they are both classy knives. I love the equal end frame, so I am definitely into giving one of these knives a try, I can't wait to see the rest.

Someone said on Bladeforums that the Northfield versions will have bails.  I'm not crazy about bails so I may hold off on the Northfield.

I don't believe there are any plans to put a bail on the Northfield knives.The frame is 3  7/16 inches long. It will have a spear/pen blade combo,and a clip/pen blade combo in each handle material.

That's good news Bob!  I just couldn't see the bail on this one.
