Me too! Guess it helps when your local to a fantastic dealer.Congrats! Glad to see it arrived so quickly.
Well, I had to fry up a couple kielbasa’s and open a beer in celebration. Happy to report, this knife does everything it is advertised to do. Fit and finish is just superb, GEC continues to kill it. Walk and talk on the spear and fork are snappy. Pull would be a five, I’d agree with Joel. The beard refuse tool, I would say is a 1.5. Although, it will not shake out no matter what you do, so I’m happy with it. It combs and got kielbasa and bun crumbs out of my beard just as advertised. I am very damn happy with this knife, and it will get used. No flipping for me. To bad not everyone sees eye to eye on this one! It’s fantastic. Only thing that bums me out is I will not be able to use it for Oktoberfest this year. (Thanks corona).

Contrary to how hollywood portrays them, viking danes were very concerned with their grooming habits. This looks like it may have been right up their alley. Heres a list of things history says they were occupied with:
Grooming? Check.
Cutting/stabbing? Check.
Drinking? Check.
Feasting? Check.
In my mind I had envisioned a party with a platter of pre-cut chunks of sausage with a little cup of toothpicks. Instead of using toothpicks, you would just use the little fork to grab a sausage chunk.The all important photos of you stabbing the sausage and simultaneously cutting it are absent. This is why I think this is form over function...sounds cool but in practice just doesn't work unless you have another knife (or fork). Enjoy, they look nice, but I'll stick with a Hobo.
I was definitely interested in the jigged bone primarily and the ebony secondarily. But who knew the micarta would look SO DANG GOOD!?Last one before giving it a rest, sorry guys. She’s officially ready for the next sausage duty with a proper edge now. Wasn’t impressed with how she cut earlier out of the tube.![]()

I guess if that's something you're interested in.GEC really failed by not using Sausage Party on the shield.
