Lets talk GEC!

There will be about a one month delay in any news about the 2021 forum knife.

Our discussion thread was closed because people could not stop talking about flippers in that thread.

See the last post in this thread for most current info on 2021 forum knife: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/first-bf-knife-post-post-once-only-read-post-1.1787281/page-20

Thank you for the information I was wondering the same thing as well.

I've had a number of Bucks in 420HC, and I've never had a problem with them. I tend to prefer 420HC over 440C, but that is almost entirely because of Buck's heat treatment. In most other brands, I'm not a fan of either of these steels. Does anybody know who GEC uses for heat treat? If it's Bos (Buck's HT shop), then these 420HC knives will be great.

Yes they use Peter's Heat Treatment. I'm Canadian so I don't know much first hand myself but I've heard nothing but good reviews both from the Traditional world of knife collectors and the Modern folder collectors as well.

Got my first GEC fixed blade. Pretty nice for the price. I hope the 83 bocote looks this good.

They killed it on those sheaths and the acorn shield is as good as ever!

That would be awesome. Really need a 2 blade 73 in my collection.

Seems quite promising. A run of 73s... very interesting that they may be making a Remington- I'm cautiously optimistic.

I'm not on IG, found this in my garage though..

Fingers crossed that there's a #73 Single Blade on the menu.

Very cool! Interesting that Remington arms just reopened, would they be the destination for these? Is that an SFO?

That's a good sign. My prediction is a good time.

 

[Angry Angus]

Can't wait for Bill Howard's GEC announcement. The suspense is killing me.

Ain't they beauts.

 

[Texoma]

I don't do IG, hope that 73 news is true, not interested in a 2 blade only a 1 blade

 

[Kloeshuman]

I just got my first GEC ....used 38 Special....I am very impressed with the fit and finish from them...this won't be my last one
