Yes !!!! I was until I noticed that the Northfields had Long Pulls . I try to only collect Northfields . I am pretty sure that a Tidioute could be modified into a Lambfoot . The hard part would be the Nail Nick .
Great pictures Dylan . Mine are on the way , and in Cincinnati right now, and I am getting very anxious after seeing yours my friend .I got my "Original Ram Foot" in today.
A fine knife just like the others. Honestly, the odd shield and its placement have grown on me a bit. The jigging may be a bit uniform for some tastes but I find it to be nice enough and not overly shallow.
Overall, an excellent cap on a stellar run for GEC.
Oh my yes! Lovely Dylan. Been trying to let that one pass... but......
Thank you, Dwight and Harry.
Honestly, I feel this is one of the better runs of 2019 from GEC. I know not everyone cares for a straight edged blade and that can be a bit off-putting. I also know that this run did not have a large number of SFOs that accompanied it. However, it brought with it one of Charlie's greatest SFOs (in my opinion), good sensible cover options, and a consistency in craftsmanship that has had a tendency to be absent in previous runs.
I wanted to touch on some things that I really appreciated about these knives.
Overall, these are just superb working knives. I am well acquainted with the virtues of the Lambsfoot blade already and I am thrilled that this particular SFO of Charlie's likely means that a considerable number of other folks are now able to experience the same.
- The most recent run of 78s exhibited perfection when it came to their pulls and their actions. Since then, each run after has not been the same. These 93s change that. Their pulls are perfect, the walk-n-talk is just stellar. When it comes to my preferences, GEC hit all the right marks on this run. I admire the consistency, especially between the Lambsfoot and the Ramsfoot variants.
- The blades are just simply a treat. The consistently thin grinds make for such excellent cutting knives, each and every one of them will be a joy to use and maintain. The fact that the tips are nestled deeply within the well, especially the Ramsfoot blades, shows that there is a LOT of life in these knives.
- I have been admiring the 47 frame from afar for quite some time. Not knowing when GEC would do another run on that pattern, I was thrilled to see the 93 become part of the lineup. As a big fan of the Swayback pattern, I knew I was going to end up with more than one or two.
Now that it is over, I think I will be taking a bit of a break. The 29s are on the horizon, an intriguing pattern, but one I am apt to maybe only acquire one of.
My tidy lineup as it stands at this time.
Pàdruig Nice bunch there Dylan. How does the walk and talk on your Oily Creek compare to the other Rams? The OC I had briefly was a bit lazy on the snap close. Made me wonder if the micarta's were that way too.
Thank you, Dwight and Harry.

That is indeed a Tidy Line-up my friend .Thank you, Dwight and Harry.

I recommend the 30° angle and forget about a micro bevel.
