You know what? I'm gonna tag these knives on to the GEC 2012 production schedule in my dreams:
Lumberjack, can't wait to see it.
Jan's Clasp Knife, think big
johnny twoshoes Fishing Knife, stainless, fresh and salt water, just add fish
Robert's #54 Northfield Moose, classic, pick your handle material
Luca's #46 and #36 Bladed Northfield Super Moose. They'd fit on the Whaler frame, I think? The ultimate "surf and turf", Whaler and Sunfish, in a Moose pattern.
And since Bill Howard would be designing and building them all with the active participation of the whole GEC staff, then whatever knives they want to make. I trust them, their taste, and their commitment to their craft.
Robert, I like the Northfield Moose better than any other moose out there, and the earlier straight unpinched bolstered better. Swedged polished blades, long pulls. You pick your handle material. I like it much better than the Remington with the squared off bolsters, and I prefer the equal end #54 cigar profile. That's just me.
Now I'm starting to think that Jan's thinking that it might be a Clasp type knife could be prescient, 'cause those bolsters look big to me, but then again it could be a #26 Sleeveboard blade paired with a #46, and sounds to me like a jack set up based on the hints dropped so far. But who knows? Unless, somebody out there also likes a Moose set up and jumps up and down and clamors for it? Thanks, Robert.
Alan, thanks for the reality check. And thanks GEC for the teaser. If that's a Sunfish #36, then the Lumberjack is HUGE. It could be a #26? But those bolster stamps look kind of big for a #46 Whaler blade, which was the first tease. I don't have a #26 to compare. Go big!
A Lumber Jack is a Moose made by Remington, maybe it'll be a Moose made by GEC. The wait is killing me....lol
A Giant Moose! A #46 and a #36 spear blade set, OK I can dream can't I?? So it's never been seen before, except every night in my dreams! And I also really really want a regular #54 Moose Northfield!!! You know, for my day to day needs...
Mooooooose!
I'm there Robert, thanks to you. Johnny, waddya mean, I thought the #72 club was in the bag and the Lumberjack was in the works????
Luca, it's great to have another Moose pattern collector, we are rare. Please come join us at the Moose pattern Mini Group and we'll collect them togrther.
