really nice photos! (that durians some pretty staunchy stuff )
I was afraid this was going to happen!
I like this 33 so much now I want another and man I love this shield to !!
lol Or one for all or maybe none and two for me and maybe youlol, two is one, one is none.
the real question is "Who's on first?..."lol Or one for all or maybe none and two for me and maybe you
Just beautiful!I was afraid this was going to happen!
I like this 33 so much now I want another and man I love this shield to !! Beautiful Carmel colors on the covers and well matched on both sides. Gec did a wonderful job on this pattern.
Think you nailed it . Thought I read that Bill got stuck inletting and that was it . I don’t particularly like a bad inlet job but prefer shield if it’s consistent like bone .Sorry for the durian detour. My bad. Looking at the case leads to the shield on antler question. Has GEC stopped doing it completely and does anyone know why? I thought I read that it was a difficult to do but they didn’t elaborate on why. All I could think was maybe due to the surface variants on each piece of antler?
Thanks Brother ! They are such nice knives toJust beautiful!
Who isthe real question is "Who's on first?..."
back on topic...
Has anyone done a comparison pic of the 33 beside a Case half-whittler? I think the Case is 1/4" shorter, but it would be interesting to see the overall "bulk" comparison shot.
sorry for the added edit.... the original Case was a single spring, and is very slender... the new version is a two spring, and is more substantial feeling in hand. It would be good to see pics of both, but if nobody has those, I'll try to do a comparison shot whenever my 33 arrives.... Saturday?
Here are the two different Case versions....
I wasn’t planning on getting one of these — the preview image didn’t really excite me — but when I saw the in-production photos and then the finished product, I was sold! I’m glad I was able to get ahold of one, this thing is awesome! Feels really nice in hand, not too small, the pulls are nice, and the overall quality is top-notch GEC. (Even the factory edges are good, and you’ll rarely find me saying that about a GEC knife!)
Aren’t these just beautiful! Gec did a phenomenal job on the jigging also along with those beautiful Carmel colors.This one showed up today. I was worried about the size but it feels great in hand and as others have mentioned, the clip blade is as long as it could possibly be. Really nice snap on both blades, nice solid 5+pull. The secondary is a bit stiff but will likely loosen up some with oiling and use. I'll carry it the next few days to get a better feel for it. Glad I changed my mind and was able to get one.
No SFOs on this one 400 bone and 400 stag I believe. We've already been called onto the carpet for talking too much about the purchasing process. Shoot me an email if you want to talk about it offline.I am having trouble finding a place to purchase this pattern. Wondering if the main run isnt out yet or everyones getting sfos or what.
