Don't wait too long! Trust me, I've regretted waiting on a GEC. This forum knife is really nice too. It's the first worm groove GEC has done, the spear blade is a classic and the punch is a very useful tool. If you haven't tried a punch blade yet, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Never had any of the above which makes it that much more enticing [emoji51]
I always wait to the last minute and it almost cost me a Gec#15 charred beer barrel oak BS but managed to score one of the last ones .

Looks like the main blade can be pinched open am I correct ?

I can't.
but it's got a soft enough spring, it's opens pretty easy.

Thanks it looked like it might of been able to . I've always preferred blades that could but as long as there not nail breakers I'm good .

They are definitely not nail breakers. The main blade is about a "4" and the punch is about a "5". I have pretty weak nails and so I'm pretty sensitive to how easy a blade is to open. The BF knife is easy.

Thanks for the input . Santa has struck and might have to take my chances right after Christmas and see if there's any left and if not it wasn't meant to be .
I spoiled myself plenty this year and it's time to give back 😊

I wasn't exceedingly excited about this pattern but having carried my ebony HJ quiet regularly over the past several weeks, it has quickly become one of my favorites. The punch is very utilitarian and I love a good spear blade. The tool combination is remarkably thin and my example also has nice pulls. A 5 on the main and a 5-6 on the punch. Give it a go if you can. I don't believe that you'll regret it. :thumbup:
 
Just got mine. Pull is about as described above. Super easy pull. No issues with mine. Caught me off guard not having a half stop. I'm so used to them it felt weird opening!

Great covers. Can't wait for some light to snap some photos.

Oh I definitely want one :( but it's looking like after Christmas . I like everything I have now for once and there's nothing I want to turn no matter how hard I try to convince myself . Definitely appreciate the insight and now I want it even more although I do prefer a half stop but not a deal breaker .

Yeah, me too. All things being equal, half stop all the way. But if it's not a choice it really doesn't matter to me.

For me I'll just have to make sure to retrain my muscle memories and not forget it's not a half stop . I'm getting low on bandaids lol.

The lack of a half-stop in no way bothered me, as I have several Case knives, and am used to it.

I just gave my 2016 knife away, and am missing it. I gave it to a good home, and for a good reason, but I will have to strongly consider buying a replacement.

I'm in the "Christmas ate my wallet" position, at the moment, but if there's some extra cash around after we get through the next couple weeks, I'll be looking for another.
 
just ordered one. look forward to getting it in my hands :)

hope mines got dark covers. hint hint nudge nudge mister B :D JK i know ill love it regardless. im fairly picky when it comes to traditionals and this pattern and tool selection really spoke to me

merry christmas all!
