BladeForums 2024 Traditional Knife

[SteveC]

I was opening and closing my 2024 BF club knife yesterday evening - as good a W&T as any pocketknife I own. It took GEC a long time to get their W&T consistently "just right" (several of my early ones were too light or were nail breakers) but not anymore. OH

You must not have gotten one of the recent 77's

I know many have complained about the price. I look at a lot of these single blade GECs going for $180 and 3 blades like the fork beard combo going for over $200. Feels like all GECs are climbing in price and $250 for a premium stockman? A bargain for a GEC these days if I ever saw one.

Looks great. Did you submerge the entire knife into the dye?

I agree. Large Stockman knives are where it’s at. It took me a while, but I picked one up for myself.

Love thar Rolex,I love the simplicity of it as I'm not a big fan of big faces with 5 or 6 different instruments in them.just like my flip phone.

Maybe another stockman is needed in the 66 frame so big and small whichever you choose,everyone loves a clip and coping blade in one knife.

No, for the past several years the only GEC pocketknives I acquire are the annual Blade Forums club knife or one that I trade into. My current experience is down to a sample of one every 365 days! (more or less).

# 310 arrived in this morning's mail. No need to touch up or darken the bone covers. They are nice and dark with well defined jigging - nice and carmely. I've been noticing that it seems the higher the serial number on these 2024 BF knives, the darker the coloring of the covers. Just my take.

Don’t mind me. I am just a Post Ho.
I am glad that GEC knives are popular but they are really hard to come by.

This is where Kevin Spark jumps in to again splain how to come by getting a 2024 BF knife.
