BOB!

LOL, thank you. I just got an email from Chris asking me to post that about the passes!  You Rock!

No,I just had a day off!

I never knew how much I used and depended on the yearly production totals until I didn't have them. I should be more patient, I confess. Waiting on 2012 . . .

Working on them now and should have them done and posted by the end of the week (hopefully).

Thank you, Chris. We appreciate all you do for us.

Have ya'll seen the new GEC knife, they call it an Outlaw but I think it looks like a Moose. The number is 76, I wonder how many different handle materials will be used in it's production.

There are ten Outlaws, Robert. Here they are: primitive bone, yellow rose, natural stag, black buffalo horn, bocote, copperhead jigged bone, rootbeer acrylic, honey brown bone, cocobolo, burnt stag. This, of course, does not include the newly released Western Outlaw. Hope this helps . . .

I believe Mr Burris is refering to the Western Outlaw. Released so far are the Tidioute in Western Sunset Acrylic and Antique Ivory Jigged Bone.

Still to come is Tidioute in Ebony and Northfield in Jigged Bone,Royal King Wood,Burnt Stag and Natural Stag.

Wow, thanks guys! Bob is correct, about the knife I was asking about. I love the Moose pattern, and I hope that the interest in this pattern, gets you guys more sales, in a wonderful pattern. I am sure with all these different options, a buyer should not have much trouble finding, a great knife.

This came today,it sold immediatley.

Hot, digity , darn... That's one fine knife! They call it an Outlaw but it looks like a Moose pattern to me. I'll bet, everyone has been a little naughty, in their life, so an Outlaw Moose might fit alot of us. This pattern is HOT right now, so ya'll better move in quick.,,LOL

It has a Moose blade configuration on a #76 Gunstock frame. The Guitar Inlay Shield was used a couple of years ago on the "Tango" series of knives. This Western Sunset Acrylic is GREAT! I'll have to re-stock on these already!

one with it glowing and one in the light.

Very cool!!!

very neat!

I'm thinking about making this a edc.

decision made.

yeah ever since GEC realsed the "BOYS KNIFE" i have gone back to hunting down the vintage "boys knives" ...still need my WALDEN with the 19 inch chain!

oh and LEE ..both of those GEC knives would make great EDC...the one thing i dont get and i have seen it on a few brands is with such a hard working knife as a SOD knife is.... i always wondered why other brands like CASE or GEC have not follwed though on a lockback version.. i have seen EYE BARAND with lockbacks or their sods.i even wrote CASE directly about it. they did replky but its not even on the table as of now... they actually wrote me back in a way that it was something NEW...i dunno... im guessing the boys knife has a half stop{i dont know but most do out of safety-why no locking dvice on the sods?..if the GEC SOD has a half stop i didnt know..forgive me....

Well I tell you this. I wish I had had a boys knife like this when I was a kid. I took it to work today and showed it off. I really had to grin when the guys started cupping there hands around it to see if it really glowed in the dark. They came up grinning every time. It made them feel like a kid again too.

It has a very stout half stop. I don't hunt much and have never really had any preference one way or another. A lot of people do though.

I've heard lot's of talk about GEC's stout backsprings. A very stout backspring,together with a positive half-stop, almost eliminate the need for a locking blade. If a person would use the knife hard enough to overpower the backspring, than the half-stop would catch before the blade closes on your hand.

Just posted on the GEC Website:

You are invited to attend the

2012 Production Totals are here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/2012...

Bob,

We will be there, you?

ok so my knife says its a gec TIW 151113 huckleberry boys knife nifebright acrylic. I cant find it on the list. How do I find out how many where made?

Lee.....

Are you familiar with GEC's numbering system..if not will lend a hand...if you notice the last two numbers refer to the year made......and GEC just release the 2012 Totals you'll need to wait another year.

No I'm not. I've been carrying this knife for 2 days. Now i'm not sure if I should carry it. Looks like the production numbers are pretty low.

Tang Number Chart
Main Blade Identity
0.Wharncliffe
1. Regular Clip
2. Regular Spear
3. Sheep Foot
4. Spey
5. Drop Point/Skinner
6. Sabre Clip
7. Sabre Spear
8. Muskrat Clip
9. Cotton Sampler

For Example: if the Tang Stamp reads 735208
# 73 = Pattern number
5 = the main blade (Drop point/Skinner)
2 = the knife has 2 blades
08 = it was made in 2008

Here's just a little assistance......

And I wouldn't worry about carrying it

I will try my best to be at the Rendezvous this year Jan!

I cant wait to see everyone at the shop, the Rendezvous is always so much fun

I wonder what will be GEC Rendezvous knife this year. Time to start guessing.

LOL...Robert!   Donnie asked me the same thing last night.  OK, lets start the discussion

We have seen an engraved whaler, an abalone 66, and some first run acrylic 25's .  I spoke with Bill Howard this afternoon and he tells me a pattern has been chosen but...............what do we think it will be?

Well, last year we had the Lockback, so I don't think it will be an outdoorsman style knife. I'll bet it's gonna be some sort of Whittler, probably on the large side. That ought to make JJ.'s day..LOL

let hear your experience story... I'll bring my popcorn.......eating it ::::chewing:::::

My my! Would you look at that fancy ringed n' dimpled bolster! And then those long pulls on not just the Master but the Pen blade as well! And, is that an 03 I spy on that gussied-up bolster?

That Pemberton pup sure sports a proud profile! I hope it serves you well for many years to come, my dear friend!

Cheers!

Real nice knives Bob.  Great picture too.

Wow great Bob, I love to see a man [or women] enjoy a knife that much. I think you have choosen a great pattern and a great brand. I know you won't be disapointed. I can't wait for your review, I have popcorn ready...LOL

Actuall, I was surprised how well the Stag Handles worked on these little guys. Sometimes,on a very small knife, the Stag Slabs have very little figure because of their small size. And sometimes,to get some figure, the slabs are left bulky like Bob refers to. But on the Pemberton's I've seen and handled,it was like the Stag Slabs were taken from little tiny deer. They had very nice figure and were well proportioned to the knife,not left all blocky and bulky. This whole run of knives were just right! A Fine job by GEC!

Bob,

The little guy is sure getting out and about.  Funny, I am watching your pics for the knives and the scenery too

Last night on KnivesLive SMKW, had a few older and awesome GEC

Bob, that's a fine GEC knife. It deserves a good ride. Enjoy!

As the Blade Show nears....who will be coming with us?
