Received my sucker rod 86 and it screams user. For those who have one, are you seeing a lot of scuffing on the bolsters and pommel? Mine looks like it was knocked around. Asked the distributor and was told that's just the way that finish tends to look

Mine had one side of one bolster that had several rub marks in its satin finish. Mine will be a user, and I already knew this finish is more prone to these kind of marks, so it made little difference to me.
 
Got mine today. It does smell like oil. An Oilfield Jack that smells like oil :p :thumbsup:

I got a button! :D Did everybody? Or did I just luck out? I never got a button before.

The "PPP" is facing the right way (unreversed? reversedreverse? ) .The reversed ones are kind of cool :cool:

Its a big, chunky, hunk of jack knife. Its pretty close in size to the #71 Bull Nose. A little thicker, a little heavier and a tiny bit taller.

I stuck it in my jeans pocket and carried around today. It carries fine for such a big knife.

The ricasso is prominent when closed. I thought some sunken joints would have been nice, then inspiration struck. GEC should put a copperhead bolster on this puppy. It would blend the ricasso's better and I certainly have to buy one since I like the copperhead design.

This a nice knife. The sucker rod is interesting. I'm pleased. Well done GEC :thumbsup:
 
I'm sure GEC only marks the shields that do not require surface grinding/sanding! They do not do this to the oily bone because the bone finish will disappear! So they can mark rhe shield with out risking the stamping!
On the micartas, they do a lot of sanding, so the letters risk getting sanded off!

Does the sucker rod wood smell like crude, or like motor oil? In my experience, heavier fractions, like #6 can smell pretty funky.

Mine definitely doesn’t , smells just like all my other GEC’s when you pop the tube and actually love it lol.
