Figuratively and literally.


i got my first gec in today #15 radio knifebrite and i love it



but then she bit me!

i closed the opener one handed on my finger



its got strong snap
 
What??????? I've had worse cuts than that to my eyeball.:rolleyes:

Nice looking knife though.

Ya better get on down to the Emergency Room.:)
 
I debated on that one too then decided on the Farm and Field tool. But may still have to buy this one as well. Congrats.
 
Strong springs + half stops can lead to some surprises like that until you are used to the knife. I usually end up getting some sort of small nick or near cut with most new knives, typically when sharpening or cleaning them up for the first time. Carry it for a while and the two of you will get used to each other.

I did say in another thread that I'd had a hellacious cold for the last few days but I didn't say I was completely listless.;)

"noodlefish" has a great knife (very nice in fact) and has been around long enough to take my ribbing with a grain of salt.
 
Congrats, and sorry to see the bite. I got my first GEC today, also, and my thumbnails tell me I will need to eat some more Jello. :D
 
That's a real interesting #15. Stay safe, but luckily you've got 10 digits . At first I though that was a quirky, and more novel sort of knife, but I'd probably find it incredibly useful the more I think about it. I use the tip of my bottle opener on my SAK very often. It's something I'm going to keep my eye on. Thanks for sharing.
 
What a bear trap! That bottle opener is useful to us beer drinkers and with knifebrite you can open beers in the dark! One of the trads forum knives a year or two ago had a bottle opener on it also.

Super cool knife. I really like the size of the 15s.

hey!..... don't worry about it i wanted to reply with a nasty set of pics of bad cuts from knives but were worried you might feel faint... :p

i posted a picture of the pinch so yous guys would get a laugh at my expense. :D no hard feelings
 
"fish" or can I call you by your first name - "noodle"? Do you find the pull on your caplifter blade particularly stiff - more than you normally like? I checked my Radio Knife and I'd rate it at about a 6 but that's kind of how I like a blade to be. I see where you said yours had a strong snap.
 
Nuka Cola caps? You must play Fallout then. :)

Anyway, how strong are the springs? I remember the pull on my #15 being a light 5 on my scale....

im not to experinced with gec (my first) and only have a few victorinox slip joints to compare its a really strong pull but the cap lifter is even harder to pull.

its definitely a strong pull if a victorinox is a 5 its a 7 but your scale might be different

The knife is fantastic I own one myself, I'm more impressed however with your Nuka Cola bottle caps. +1 for the Fallout Reference...

im a super huge fallout fan and went to comic con two years in a row in a 101 jump suit handing out bottle caps from beers ive kept. everyone thought it was awesome until another guy in a jump suit gave me those two and then i felt like a loser. so im gonna make a bunch of those for this years.

Ha, ha:)

A grain of salt should be just enough for the resulting injury;)
