My Mom passed away this month and I think it's fitting that I'm getting 2 Black GEC sunfish. One from Alan (the Luca Buffalo Sunfish) and a nice black ebony Watch Pocket from Bruce's website (Doc's Knife works)
Well I'm not bored with 3 new GEC's on the way.
Has anyone heard any big GEC news for this summer? Except for their Rondevous. They must have some plans on a special knife or something like that. We need to hear some exciting news and get us all out of this winter time boredom.
Tid dee yoot,three sylables,a native american name.
To clarify further "ioute" is one syllable pronounced "yoot" or "ute" or "yout" (all the same)Tid-ioute, a two syllable word.
Yes. Tid-yoot or Tid-ute (same pronunciation) softens the 2nd syllable.
We say it like Tiddy-ute.
I am not too far from that area and thats just the way I have always heard it.
I think that I've discovered the best pronunciation for "Tidioute" It's Tid-yoot.
Dana,
I think that the pepper spots are more uniform....JUST KIDDING!!!! Enjoy your new sunfish!
For me the biggest advantage of the all steel is that I find it ten times more beautiful when all of the metal on the knife is the same color, as opposed to subtle contrast of 1095 and Nickel Silver and brass. So simple, so elemantary, so traditional, and so modern. I'm happy Dana that you found the knife you wanted here, and Alan I'm happy this worked out for you too, thanks for participating in the project, thanks for supporting the WWP, and thanks for helping Dana out. That's what iKC friends are for.
