Wow, talk about a wish list.

I don't know that a whale is for me, but I'm glad to see GEC make another collector happy. 

 

Okay GEC, a camp knife. 

A good ol' camp knife, not to much snap in the blade please, no do like the snap, but if I ever have a family I would like my sons first knife to be a GEC. So could you make one just for me.

 

P.S.

When in doubt try a pull on the heart strings of a knife company. : )

Given those four choices I'll go with the woods, and like I said before, I'd love to see it in Snakewood too. And I'd love to see it in all steel, single blade, and let me throw some pure black Buffalo horn on top too! While I'm dreaming out loud, Ivory would look so pretty on this as well, not to mention Narwhal tusk...

Just keep the information coming folks.  GEC listens :)

46 single blade whaler


Tidioute – Antique Yellow Jig Bone and Ebony Wood

Northfield – Antique Amber Jig Bone and Cocobolo Wood

Will either of these do Luca?

I know Tom, I really wish I could do it. : )

Red Wine has blown me away, time after time, I love having it on me. The #72 is a work horse, I use it on a regular basis. The bone is really slim in comparison to the Elk stag, so it gets more EDC time. I do love the pattern though. I want to see more come out and I need a carbon one. I have my eye on one already, a little cheeper than a new Red Elk. : )/:(

Johnny,

Red Wine probably needs some company of other #72's so she won't be lonely. You never have enough elk my friend!

Oh, and I forgot to say, I'd also add a single blade Northfield Whaler with snakewood handles to my wish list - that would be stunningly beautiful. Pretty please?
Comment by Luca Vignelli on November 1, 2011 at 10:25

Wow a single blade Whaler!!! Yes, I'll take two! And to think that on October 10th I was railing here about how I wished GEC would make more single blade knives in their most popular patterns! They must have heard me and they listened, I'd like to think! There is NO other knife company out there in the world that is as responsive to customer feedback as GEC. A rare company. 

Now I'm hoping that the Northfield unamed bone will be something in pure black. Hey, I live in a city and black looks better than Stag here, a little more urban. Another hope of mine is that GEC will also consider making the Whaler in an all steel version. I like the all steel versions of the #36 best, I like the single color of all of the metal on the knife, to me it is about purity. It also has a more "modern" feel to it while still maintaining a traditional material choice.

Thanks GEC, I'm looking forward to the feel of the single blade Whaler in my hand, without that pesky secondary blade digging into the folds of my fingers.

Lastly, would a single blade #36 be too much to ask? I want some of those too for the very same reason, comfort in hand. Please?

We are excited about it too Rusty.  I sure hope that unnamed bone is a primitive
Comment by Rusty R Halsey on October 29, 2011 at 8:38
Wow, a single blade Whaler!  I was just admiring a knife made by a club member several years ago that looked like a single blade Whaler, only it was easy open also!
