Crud, I probably just sinned by posting a pic of a non-GEC knife here. If anyone objects, I will remove it (if I can figure out how). Sorry
Luca, Bulldog did something similar in '03 or '04, made muskrat, trapper and congress style sunfish. I have one of the muskrats (see pic below). Imagine a muskrat with 2 fat clip blades! The congress was pretty wild with 4 big blades. Of course those were all with the normal #36 size blades. A #46 muskrat or congress would be mind boggling!
Handmade, if I remember right, Jan's knife has smooth bone handles and is pretty rare.
Luca ...
I place my #85 main blade on top of the #46 and it looks to be a darn good fit and similarity to the picture.
Thinking about it, but my hallucinations below might not be such a bad idea, something new and completely over the top, but in a good way. Now I don't want to offend any purists here, but what if GEC made a new variant of the #46 Whaler and replaced the smaller pen blade with a full size #36 main blade in a Moose configuration, or maybe even in a Jackknife configuration too??? Wow, would that be cool! Two monster blades on one frame, "two great tastes that taste great together..." Then they could call it the "Jumbo Jack"!!! I like that idea, and I think the name is really catchy! The Jumbo Jack! Hey, if they made one, I'd be the first in line to get one!
What do you think about something along the lines of an old clasp knife. A modified version of course but maybe?
Robert, you made me want a Moose! I want a Moose! I think I need a Moose! Anybody else out there want and need a Moose? More Moose please... I can't get the Moose out of my head. I'm in the mood for Moose!
Maybe the Lumberjack will be a Whaler with some sort of jigged wooden handles??? Maybe it will be a Whaler with a Jack set up? The anticipation is getting to me. I love these hints that GEC drops on us, now I'm hungry for more! Wait, is that a #26 or #36 main blade on top of the #46 main blade, or is it just the regular #46 pen blade? Now I have to go and look and compare the photo below to my knives...
I saw this on he GEC website in the "What's Happenning Today" section and I thought it curious. I am eager to see what their new "Lumberjack" pattern will be, hoping it will be big, and I saw this photo, identified as "lumberjack spear and pen blade design pieces". Well, those look like Whaler blades to me, so I'm wondering whether the "Lumberjack" will be a Whaler variant, or maybe the phot was just mislabeled? Hmmmm... very curious.
Me too Jan!!!!
I can't wait to share.
