As I was saying;
Back to the knives, I got my Giraffe Bone in the mail yesterday, and so here are a couple of comparison shots with Tony's version.
Doing this pattern was a great idea - congrats to Derrick and Bill!
They are both wonderful knives!!
The custom is of course more finely detailed, and has a bushing in the pivot. It's as perfect as a handmade knife can be!
ATS-34, long pull, cut swedge, flush in all positions, and the pull is about a 7. All lines are crisp - to die for!!
The GEC holds its own - especially at about 1/15 the price!!
Slightly firmer pull, about a 7.5, 1095 steel, flush except at half-stop (typical GEC), some rivets deep-set. It is exceptional quality for a production knife!!
Each one has a place in my world!
Thanks again Tony!:thumbup:
