2024 Great Eastern Cutlery 22 Magnum

[Elgatodeacero]

If you enjoy small knives, this one is a beauty. Perfect as a third knife, a watch pocket knife, or for an Altoids tin survival kit. Excellent craftsmanship and perfect pulls for a knife this size - about a 4.5 pull.


Next to a GEC 14

I broke down and ordered one of the saw cut models the other day. Nice little knife.

I’m enjoying this 22. Great action!

Hoping to score a stag when they start showing up at dealers.

I have an Antique Autumn Smooth Bone en route. I held off on the Tidioute release hoping there would be a Northfield with a .22 shield. I feel fortunate to have gotten one. I suspect they’ll go fairly quick compared to the earlier releases. The Stags look great as well.

I’ve got one of those in the way as well. Glad I held out for that version.

Even if it doesn’t happen with every release, it’s refreshing to think that you can hold out on a GEC.

Interesting. Judging by that picture, they rounded the contouring on bolsters.

They chamfered the edges on the original run of 22s as well. I think it adds a nice touch.

I really dig it. The snap on mine is a lighter than I had hoped, but not really an issue for a knife this small.

Coin pocket perfect.

I think the wharncliff makes more sense for this knife, but the clip looks better!?

Same here. First time in years I saw an email before they were sold out. Got the next to last one. Got an email saying it would be delivered tomorrow.

A small wharncliffe can be handy, but I think the clip point fits the pattern better.

My one and only is a clip point. It just looked right to me. Same with the orange sawcut bone.

Still I think antique autumn bone versions are the best of the run.
