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.

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????

Mooooooose!

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...

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 Lumberjack and a Sunfish.?

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!

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.

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.

And I almost forgot, two sizes of "Sodbusters", not just one. I like orange, but this knife would look good in almost any color, finish, and handle material.

 If that's a Sunfish #36, then the Lumberjack is HUGE

My guess would be a big sleeveboard sunfish, with a #46 blade on one end and one, maybe two # 36 blades on the other. If done right that could be really interesting. Ever see a Schatt and Morgan Wildcat Driller? A huge sunfish whittler would be too cool.

Google Remington Lumberjack and see what thiers looks like.  VERY interesting

I checked it out Jan, I think Remington's Lumberjack looks like a Moose. I wander what GEC has up their sleeve on the sleeveboard as well???

I like the production quality better on the GEC Moose, Tidioute or Northfield better than any Remington, Case, Winchester, or Queen put together. Aahhhh. Now I said it. I feel better now. And I'd like to see GEC make it again. Please?

In  a cigar and a swell center frame variations, 4 1/8" long. 

I always like the quality better on any GEC product.  The pattern on the Remington is interesting though.  It will be wonderful to see what Great Eastern does with this name and what pattern it will finally be.  One of the great things about this company is their ability to bring an old pattern back to life with its own special version.  I also love that they bring us along on the journey to a new pattern

I'm starting to get really excited about the club knife. I already love the #72 frame and lock, so trying out the spear blade really sounds great. 

The new and improved #26 also sounds interesting to me, I think maybe a bail will be added?

and anniversary edition

Now we have a new one to think about also.  Anyone know anything abot a wrangler??

Production Schedule 2012

Wrangle, hmmm, sounds like another stockman maybe???

That would be awesome with me!!! 

That is what I am thinking Johnny, wonder what scales though

We may have to wait to get our Moose but that's what makes collecting them so much fun....their hard to get! 

Robert, why wait when we could talk to GEC and see about getting an SFO Northfield Moose or two made and organize that effort here on iKC? All those in favor say, "Yes" or "Yea"!

I have thought about special orders and how many and how much it would cost. Someone had some special cotton cutters made and then sold them, whats up with that?  I think the name was Craker Jack.

Yes, Cracker Jack did have some done a couple of runs if I remember right but the same man has had others done by them also

Ron Dumah wants a moose made with moose antler

I'll take a moose SFO!  Jan, isn't it Krack a Jack or something like that? I know that they have done a few runs with GEC - I think that their production runs are in GEC's book (although a bit outdated by now). I didn't see the cotton sampler done by  them though. The fellas name is Charlie Dorton I think. He had some of the #85's teardrop jacks made for him.

OK, that's four so far and we haven't even spec'd it! Can we make it to fifty or a hundred orders?

Oh, and regarding that Cotton Sampler by Krack a Jack, Seth King has a really nice one you can find in his photos. Warning! Possibililty of electrocution from drooling on your keyboard while perusing Seth's collection!

Gang...let's not be so cavalier  with throwing names around since you better believe the people that bring us these brands have been in the industry for quite awhile....indeed the gentleman's name is Charlie Dorton along with Robert Roark  whom developed the Krack-A-Jack Brand in 2010 and had Great Eastern produce three Cotton Samplers in the #73 pattern the first year as well as a single knife in the #85 pattern in 2011.

Charlie Dorton has been involved in many knife brands and anyone who collects Bulldog Brand knives would recognize him as the originator of the company.

Besides that side trip...Luca I'd be in for one.......

Thanks Jim, that makes five...

YES? YES? YES!!!

OK for a (giant?) moose - rather with wood scales.

Hey Jim,I thoght Bulldog Brand Knives was started by Jim Parker and Named Bulldog after his Staffordshire Terrier?

1 or 2...

Jean-Francois thanks for your interest and your willingness to come aboard on this. I don't know if GEC can make the "Giant" Moose of my dreams yet, I havn't spoken to Chris yet, butI'll ask. In the mean time, let's see how much interest we can generate here for an SFO Northfield Moose, the 4 1/8" equal end cigar frame, and with you here that makes us six. I'll talk to Chris soon.

I have been waiting for a new Moose. I like the idea of a wood handle also, put me down for for sure. I wish it was that easy, we may all just have to wait for the Moose to get its GEC turn in production.

Bulldog Brand was started by Charlie Dorton and the rights were sold to Jim Parker by Charlie. Charlie and George Smith then bought Bluegrass Cutlery and the rights to John Primble knives logo.

Count me in.

Seven and countin'

I know I am new to the group and really new to the GEC scene but if your talking about a club or group knife to be built, count me in. Would love to have one.

Check it!!! LumberJack details are starting to emerge...

http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&...

Thanks Jeff, but we are all  after GEC to make a new Moose pattern knfe. I knew that the LumberJack was not going to be it but wishfull thinking goes a long way.

anyone one to see the sneak preview of the lumberjack?

It looks like a large Sunfish....why the name Lumberjack?

Jeff, welcome aboard and yes that is what we're bandying about here, the possibility of a future special factory order from GEC for a new Northfield Moose #54 knife. We welcome your interest and support.

OK, well the Lumberjack below looks like it will be in all steel, which I adore, not just like, unless that's just a working model. Here's a funky little observation, it looks to me like the frame has been reversed, that is the thin end is by the base of the blade rather than the other way around, and the fat end supports a lanyard hole. What the heck is that secondary blade though? It's flat and has a notch cut out of it? My guess is that it may very well be a saw and that the notch is for your finger to add additional downward pressure on the saw when cutting very thick and strong rope or wood?

C'mon GEC play with that beautiful #46 frame and introduce the Super Giant Moose too! Please? Pretty please???

Luca,

I just reread that peice.  I think you may be on to something about the notch being a leverage point for a sawblade.

Unless it's a timber scribe? Not as usefull as a saw though. I'd say a saw, though the joke around another site is that it's a tongue depressor, though that's just a little mean spirited...
