If it's any consolation to those of you inside America experiencing postal delays, then spare me a thought. My knife was last seen by USPS on 29th MARCH at Chicago airport waiting to go out to Europe. It's still waiting...lost in Covid Space :eek:

Sorry to hear it. I’ve worked in some of those airport shipping centers in a construction capacity. As I was told, a great deal of USPS letters and packages, just ride along on regular commercial flights to Europe. With flight volume way down, the wait is likely to be a long one. :oops:

Thank you very much for the fine picture . It would appear that the Bullet Shield is Not Raised but inset . Is that correct ????

Harry, good morning! I would say that the bullet shield is raised, but juuuuuuuust a hair. On mine, it's uniform all the way around, so I am not sure of the process. I'm hoping it's pinned, though. I will get a picture when I get outside today to show you, if I can.

I can see your point.
Still think I'd prefer the longer hot dog shield.

I think the crest shield would have looked better. Honestly the ugly etch needed to go. GEC is going way overboard on etching. I hate that there isn't a single knife this run without an etch. I especially dislike them on the Northfields. I mean do we really need UN-X-LD in three or four places on a knife? Its a Northfield we get it, now get rid of that etch!

I agree. Someone apparently received a bullet with no blade etch and I was surprised at the number of folks saying he should send it back to GEC so they can add it. I was like, why? It looks so good with no etch. With the bullet, I wish they would've ditched all branding except for the tang. Set a plain bullet shield in there and call it. I understand the marketing, but sometimes they get to "case-y". That being said, I have 3 23s on the way to me. Blade etch can easily be removed and they look like wonderful knives.

Really? Somebody was lucky enough to get a one-off mistake and they said to send it back? Who are these people???

I don't think he actually did. I think there were a few folks who convinced him to keep it as is. But still, I was shocked by the people who thought it should be sent back because it hurt the value of it. It looked very good with no etch, I almost messaged him to see if he would trade for my etched one.

Edit: Here's a pic of it.
