Thank youWelcome to the club!
Same hereI don't do IG, hope that 73 news is true, not interested in a 2 blade only a 1 blade
Yup, you got it. I’ve been very lucky to get 14 of them at good prices, but the game has changed since Covid. It’s harder to get one at all, and harder still to get one at a “fair price”. My best advice is to love the one you have and be pleasantly surprised when you can get another.Ok......just from a little looking around, GEC's are hard to come by. Every store I check is out of stock and used ones sell faster than hotcakes....love these knifes...just need to keep on my toes
Quoted for truth.My best advice is to love the one you have and be pleasantly surprised when you can get another.
I agree with the 85 being a great slicer, and add the 97 is another GEC that slices great.There are occasions when buying a GEC is easier than othersYes GECs are hard to buy.
Anyway this is a knife discussion thread and with that guidance what is your best GEC slicer? I have been carrying this 85 all weekend and the ballon spear gives that extra bit of belly to make it a very good slicer. Then there is something about the geometry of the mustang and the drop point to make it slice much better than one would expect just looking at it. Then I would be remiss if I didn't include the muskrat clip on the 82, so long and thin. 3 different knives, 3 different blades yet they all do such a wonderful job.
And GECs are still hard to buy.
Don't forget CC's. These are super slicers.I've found the 93 Ramfoot and 15 Sheepfoot are strong contenders too.
Yeah, but what is your favorite GEC slicer?confirmed the 73 remingtons coming in september...
That knife looks like a superior vintage knife!! It ages well!!Don't forget CC's. These are super slicers.
Thank you my friend. I see photos of old vintage knives posted and i am in awe of them, and wish i had one. My wish has been granted, have had this for about 22 months now and with carry and use it has aged very well and has the vintage knife look too it. Feels great in the hand, and still have not had to take it to a stone, only had to strop and is still so sharp. Hope you are well, and hope your upcoming procedure goes well.That knife looks like a superior vintage knife!! It ages well!!
