The 65 ben hogan is a copperhead.

So it is. I missed those. They need to make more
And since this is a wish list, make them 0.5" shorter

It's time for GEC to make a Sowbelly Stockman. Maybe even a small stockman similar in size and width to a Case #18.

Agreed. And judging by the old Queen-made Winchesters, Bill Howard knows how to do it right.

Another run of 15 Farm Boys!

Large lockback gunstock jack. With lanyard hole or bail. Something like this 4-3/4 inch handful. Makes a great back pocket carry but could be carried in a belt sheath if that’s more to your liking. The gunstock frame allows for one-hand opening.

I really like the 86 jack with sheepsfoot secondary, but can't bring myself to buy one as I HATE the run of the mill bland side offerings. Give me a dead skunk or St. Paddy's Day acrylic instead of that lame-o blah blah blah tortoise shell acrylic. Seems all the interesting acrylics are a thing of the past at GEC... too bad

Ken, I really like this knife.
I've never owned a Premier, but that one is a great looking knife.

I think the a Coke bottle shaped knife would make a better large Barlow type knife. The #97 Allegheny 4 3/4" closed would make a more attractive Barlow.

GEC will be making #23 Pioneer Trappers very soon this Year. I just pre-paid for my 2020 OKCA Club #23 Trapper in Antique jigged bone/beaver shield. I am hoping for a #23 with a wharncliffe/large muskrat clip , a #23 with beefy two blades . and a #23 single blade bull-lock. I love the new Chocolate Almond peach-seed jigged bone color. I think the #23 is one of GEC's best. 4.5" closed , a great beefy chore knife.

A Small Saddlehorn, (approx. 3 3/4" closed) with a clip and wharncliffe. Bolsters on both ends. Jigged in deep worm groove or their "clawed" style. In dark red and antique type chestnut of some sort.

Yes, a Saddlehorn would be a new pattern for GEC. Let's have more new patterns !

I love a good saddle horn knife. I bet after the #23 Jumbo Trapper , a new design GEC knife will happen.

Wow Onearmbladejunkie! Some sweet jigging there!

Hey GEC! Are you seeing this? We're ready for something new. How about a Saddlehorn after the 23?

#33 Conductor coming next !

But this run of #33 pattern will only be made with those 2 handle choices.
How about one with great dyed Giraffe bone that often resembles the best mammoth.

Your wish is coming soon. A Sambar Stag #33 and Tidioute GEC#33 Conductor jigged bone knives will be made very soon. I wish an #86 was in the works too.

I like the larger knives, I would really like to see a LARGE 3 blade whittler like the Bulldog Anglo-Saxon Whittle. 51/4"
Even a 5 blade version, maby I would be the only one to want this knife, are there any more large Whittier junkies out there? Adog

I would love the #85 pattern spear blade with a liner lock. Blue River acrylic , Cougar Clawed jigged bone , smooth oily creek bone , Chocolate Almond peach seed jigged bone , & Red Stag

Well it looks like GEC with be making a GEC#74 Mustang soon. I like that and I want GEC to make some Saddle Trapper knives two blades also. Elk Scales , Blue River Acrylic , Black linen micarta , Chocolate Almond wavy jigged bone , Smooth Antique Natural bone ., Dark Oily Creek bone saw cut , Blue Berry wavy jigged bone , Beaver gnawed cherry wood , Dark blue sawcut bone , Kudos Bone , Appaloosa bone , honey amber bone I want some thing more interesting . And I also want a GEC#74 Two bladed Saddle Trapper run. The "Things to Powder?" clue shows a horse with a saddle . That looks promising !

I would like GEC to use more of the dyed Giraffe bone. Some of it is as attractive as the best mammoth. I think it has been at least 2 ? years since GEC put Giraffe bone on a knife.

Looks like GEC will be making an AAPK 2020 member #74 Mustang knife.

Good find Onearm.
Was there a #74 Mustang AAPK knife about 3-4 years ago ?

The 2016 AAPK was a #74 Stallion . This knife is a Mustang. www.admin@allaboutpocketknives.com
Get Bryan to put you on the reserve list.

Does the "Mustang" have a different blade profile to the "Stallion" ?
