2021 GEC #71 Bull Nose

Is the pull on the 2021s much tougher than the earlier versions?

It’s about the same as the one you got rid of.

I don’t think so, these are always about a 7 pull. One of GEC’s best designs and most consistent knives in terms of construction.

I need to hit the gym: I would rate mine as 8.

Then you should be all set. The 2021 that I had were similar to the 2018 that I kept.

I think the Bullnoses from 2012/13 have a lighter pull, like a 5/6. I had one that was 4/5, but I sold it.

That is nice. How did you get that patina?

Just opened up my Bull Nose drawer and checked a few. 2015, 2018 and 2021. They were all about the same.

"My Bullnose Drawer" has a nice ring to it.

I would love to see and handle one of the slim down versions that was a rendezvous SFA this year I believe, or last year. whichever year they made the ridiculous sudbuster. wonder if theres any difference on the pull for that one.

So happy I got this back. Much lighter pull than first one and the red is fire

Is there any difference between 2017 and 2021 GEC 71s?

Is there any difference between 2017 and 2021 GEC 71s?

Yes, four years

 

[Kvk09]

Yes, four years

Seems the springs aren’t as flush as 2021 open an half stop and maybe a smidge smaller.

 

[Kvk09]

Yes, four years

Was also waiting for a response on email.
