I really want a blue denim sheepsfoot and brown burlap spear.

 

[Planterz]

Nickel bolsters I assume?

 

[Centermass]

Man, if only they put the clip with the brown burlap, or even the blue, I’d have been totes more jazzed.

I was hoping to see the fluted bolster like on the BF 86

Stainless Steel = 440C?

Stainless Steel = 440C?

I really want to know this too, as I think gec's 440c is done exceptionally well. For me it performs on par with benchmades 154cm. I know lately they've been using 420 HC on those fishing and fruit knives, and even though I'm going to buy this run of 86s, I would be let down if they downgraded to 420 HC because they're 440C is just that good.

Would they be so sorry as not to use 440C? The omission of the steel type is very suspicious

IMO the last run of the 86s was pretty good .

From looking at the pictures of previous runs vs. the current yellow micarta posted above I've noticed the nail nick has been moved toward the pivot. Makes the blade look a bit unbalanced with a longer tip to me. I'm sure the profile of the blade is most likely the same as before and it's a bit of an optical illusion.

And the swedge is different

Those fluted bolsters on the bf knife sure look good on the 86,wouldn't mind finding one.
