At the risk of making the frenzy worse, please post pics of your GEC 14s (old and new) and share impressions.
Am a clip point kind of guy. Single clips are my preference because my chores don't usually include needing more than one blade and I can usually pinch them open. Because the previous run of 14s were all spears, never was excited about them except of course had to have one of those beautiful bone TCs. When the current run of 14s were announced, lots of folks, myself included, were over the moon. A clone of our beloved single clip 15s but in a smaller package. The halfstop is slightly proud on 14s, old and new, but that gives them a nice snap. Not a nailbreaker, but not exactly pinchable for my arthritic hands until worked with a little quick release oil. Love the thin blades and long pulls.
