2020 GEC #19 Little Rattler Thread

[Elgatodeacero]

the blue is so cool...... now how about a blue barlow?!

My 19 has a nice easy 4.5 pull, perfect for a small knife.

Yeah, I am really digging the Black teal. I would like to see this on more knives.

A useful picture and good colouration, thanks But, these really are a tiddler knife, it's barely bigger than the Viper's blade and that's no giant Whatever, Wharncliffes rule

I got the Blue Teal in and I believe the Stag isn't too far behind.

I like the color a lot but the one thing the puts me off considerably is the poor shield inletting - this is the case on my white bone one as well. I never would have thought this would be an issue with GEC...

This one will be going in my Daughter's stocking - I think she will really love the color.

Just a couple of pics which show a 18 on top of a 19 and vice versa.

I know the rattler is on the same frame as the 18 only reversed, but I still think of mine as a small 38. Maybe HALF the size.

Pàdruig I don't like to hear about poor inlet either. It's actually puzzling as GEC have always been masters at it and have had more and intricate shields than most other manufacturers.

Think of the Leaf shield, no mean feat .

 

[Travman]

The only problem with this one is that it will rock to one side which makes taking pictures difficult. I had to put a tiny piece of a stick under one side to keep it from rocking to the side.

I finally got the last Rattler yesterday.... I won't carry any as I like a little bigger knife in my pocket... But I think they'd be great to have on a desk to open mail, etc...... Also good for a Lady to have in her purse..... Attached is a family photo of the Rattlers...

A comment on GEC's manufacturing performance:.... I have no complaints on any features on the knives..... I could probably dig around and find something to carp about, but to my standards everything is fine....

Don't get absent minded and leave it there By the look of those tracks (lack of 'patina' ) they're in regular use....Fine shot and the scales I most admire in this run

Nice looking stag!

The stag are thin, well matched, and look really good.

These two were a blind order sight unseen, with a blue and a kingwood.

 

[smkinva]

I agree. It seems to me like the flippers have taken over.

I'm all about THIN single blade wharncliffes, but I just don't understand why GEC is making all these super small frame knives ... if this was only enlarged to 3-1/4" or 3-3/8" closed with a more substantial wharnie, it would be absolutely outstanding. Great side options available on this one ... for that, bravo.
