I'm just hoping it will be a big one! Or perhaps, going back to the theme of an older posting of mine, that GEC will make a Moose pattern in small, Bullwinkle J. Moose (too small for me), medium/large as the regular Moose is, and X-tra large the heretofore never been seen giant Moose, built on a #46 frame. It has to be one of the all time great patterns, so make it to fit each and every one of us! Bespoke!
Hey Moose fans, could this be a hint???

Its looking kinda cool
GEC has posted some pics of the set up knife for the Lumberjack. Check em out!
Patrick,
Although I also find a challange thinking of the whaler blade as a pocket friendly item, I can tell you I know many people that use the whaler as an everyday carry knife. For those that like the larger knives this beauty was received on the scene as "beyond awesome". I have a buddy that carries one on his side daily and he uses it for everything
In the past 3-4 years I myself have found the beauty in the Toenail knives and thier varities. This type of blade lends itself not only to everythng mentioned previously but also for the same things we use our clip and spey's for. Everything from cutting straps on bundles to trimming the steak before searing it on the BBQ.
Personal preference in blade type is what keeps knifemakers and designers up at night and what gives us all the ultimate choices in collecting and using decisions. Celebrate the beauty of the knife and buy what you prefer.
A whole lot of people other than hunters use pocket knives. This type of knife is used by and carried buy many working people.Oilfield roustabouts,deckhands and sailors, and timber men to name a few.
You'll have to excuse me for my comment on this knife. The beauty I see in a knife is in the usefulness of it and not just the art. I see no use in this knife other than it may look pertly, so that to me could be a just another useless object unless I could use it. I guess it might make a fair skinner. Put a saw blade on it, than you might have something, a hunter might pocket.
excuse me but are you talking about the blade Jan posted???????
Not the blade, the other mystery thingy. That blade, the Whaler #46 is true beauty imho.
I absolute agree with you it looks more to be a tongue depressor than a true knife.
