    Any idea when the Outlaw will be going to the dealers?  I'm liking the looks of it.

    I like that Root beer float Outlaw. Each one is a bit different.....you could have a whole collection of them! LOL! I like that Bocote Too. And the jigged bone in the pictures on their site looks really good. Hmmm........

    Any bets that they'll do a stockman version on this frame sometime?

    Another question;

    I know what burnt stag is. And UN-burnt stag is....not burnt or natural.  But, in GECs descriptions, what is the difference between "Natural Stag" and "Genuine Stag"?  Seems like those two would be one and the same. 

  • Jim McLeod

    Craig...

    You're right really close ...except Genuine Stag comes from  stag horn rolls were GEC will then cut to form handles , Natural stag is all ready cut into slabs from a supplier and won't need to be burnt because of the appearance....

    Ok, thanks Jim! I appreciate it!

    Craig,

    I hope the birthday queen brings you one of these...which scale?

    Craig Henry

    I wish she would too......maybe a jigged bone.

    Whoa, Nelly!

     

    "Ole Jack" #76 -  Copperhead jigged bone! Horse shield.

  • Bob Andrews

    Actually Craig,you're half right. It's a Mule Shield!

    Craig Henry

    Oops, sorry.  I had a feeling I got it wrong. But I knew it was 50-50. The ears do look a bit long for a horse, don't they.

     

    Oh wait, I'm having a senior moment........"Ole Jack" As in Jack***! And Jack Knife! LOL! 

    I'll be okay, I'll take two knives and see you in the morning.

  • Jan Carter

    LOL

    Let me know if the cure works!

    ♫ ♫ There's a yellow rose in Texas....♫ ♫ 

     

    http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/

  • Jan Carter

    I always did love the yellow rose.  Our very first GEC was one

  • Jan Carter

    So what DO we think of the Glow in the dark?

  • Ron Cooper

    Jan, if you mean the GITD Bullnose? I have a couple of SAK's that have GITD scales and ya know what? They really don't do a whole lot of glowing when you take them out of your very dark pocket. After the novelty of charging them with a lamp or a flashlight a couple of times to show your friends wears off, they just become regular scales with a weird color--yellow/green in the case of SAK's.

    Since you asked. *grin*

    I wish I had grabbed a regular orange one when I had the chance!

  • Jan Carter

    Ron,

    New orange one became available yesterday :)

    One of the aspects I like of the new one is it appears to be just white until the GITD takes over

  • Ron Cooper

    Thanks, Jan! I was looking for it yesterday but couldn't seem to find it. The orange one, that is. And, yes! The GEC GITD scales appear to be kind of a translucent white--at least from the pics I've seen.

    Thanks again for the heads-up on the orange Bullnose!

  • Ron Cooper

    Jan, I must be stuck on stupid because--just like yesterday when I looked--other than the photo of that orange Bullnose on GEC's website I still can't find any place where it might be available for purchase. Am I missing something here, or did they already sell out?

  • Ron Cooper

    Ding Ding Ding!!! I just found one!!! Nevermind. D'oh!

  • Ron Cooper

    Got One!

    Completely out of budget! But, I missed out last time and didn't want to miss one again!

  • Jan Carter

    Ron,

    WOOOHOOO!!!  Glad you found one.  Budget, darn I should have thought of that LOL

  • Ron Cooper

    Jan,

    I can't tell you how happy I am that these were release again! When they came out earlier this year I didn't pay too much attention to them. That is until I saw a picture someone had posted in another forum. I love orange! But it was a close-up of the tang stamp that really put me over the top on this knife. I mean, really! "REDNECK FARM TOOL" I had to have one! But, alas! By the time I saw that picture, with that close-up of the tang stamp, they were all gone!

    But now I have one reserved and it will be sent to me just as soon as the dealer receives his order from GEC. Which should be this week! Yippy Skippy! I'm a very happy camper tonight! lol.

    Have a great rest of the evening!

    Craig Henry

    Hmmm.....also in black delrin. 

  • Bob Andrews

    Also in "NiteBright".

  • Jan Carter

    Uh OH.  Ron, I dont think the newest release has the "redneck" .  Check out the last paragraph here   http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/information/new-farm-field-tool/

    I think this one says F&F

  • Ron Cooper

    RATZ!

    Oh, well! I guess I was right the first time when I was wondering whether I was stuck on stupid because I couldn't find a dealer who actually had one! That's also one more reason why I should actually start reading what things say. Like instructions n' stuff!

    It's really okay, though, that it's no longer a "REDNECK." I just thought that the redneck tang and pivot screw marking was cool and quirky. I'm about as far from being a redneck as one person could possibly be. The fact that it's a high quality orange sodbuster should more than compensate for the lack of any particular marking.

    btw -- That link you posted. Duh! I never even saw that page with those pictures yesterday, before I ordered one from Collector Knives. All I saw was GEC 's product pic (the one I posted below) and projected my desires upon it without really even reading what IT said. Double Duh!

    In any event. Yay! I have a Farm and Field Tool headed my way! And it is ORANGE.....isn't it? I hope it's orange??? lol

    Hey Ron, are you going to be using it? If so, after some use how about a review and all the ins and outs on how that O1 tool steel is?

  • Ron Cooper

    Yes, sir! I plan on giving it a lot of pocket time. I'm curious about the O1 myself. I'll be posting some pics just as soon as it arrives. Which I hope will be fairly soon. Collector Knives should get them in and mine sent out, hopefully, sometime in this next week. I'll keep ya posted, though, fersure!


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    Well, if you like it, I just might have to get one myself to use here on the Henry  Ranch (the backyard).

    Craig Henry

    If anyone is interested, here is a composition comparison chart comparing 01 tool steel to 1095....if your into that sort of thing.......

    http://www.zknives.com/knives/steels/steelgraph.php?nm=O1%252C1095

  • Ron Cooper

    Thanks, Craig!

    That 's a really interesting comparison!. With all of that manganese and tungsten, not to mention vanadium, that O1 looks like it should work great in that Bullnose. I suspect that it will be a lot tougher to sharpen that the 1095, though? I'm really itchin' to get that Bullnose in my hand!

    Thanks for the link, Craig!

    Are we all following the travelling Maverick?  It is on its way to location #3

    Yep, saw that it went from Minnesnowta to Gatorland. Where to now?

    Speaking of the Bullnose......I'd like to see a smaller version.

    Wallet no longer wants to live.
    It's asking to be put out of it's misery.

    Man, I like that black delrin.....it looks very business like.

  • J.J. Smith III

    I'm gonna have to put that on my list too.

    (It'll be after I get the Geppetto club knife...)

  • Alexander Noot

    I'll tell you. If I weren't broke I'd get me an Outlaw.

    Ever since I got my first slipjoint (a Queen Gunstock) I've got a weakness for Gunstock patterns. This one might tempt me too much....


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    From what I read around and about the net, Outlaws are selling at a pretty good clip. With many saying it's going to be hard not getting more than one!

    I don't know why, but it just looks "Old West" to me. 

    (Maybe it's the pictures GEC has in the background on their site? LOL!)

    You know...I like the "white" look. Wish they do it in ivory micarta.
