Does GEC blank their own blades and liners?

[Obsessed with Edges]

You're right David. Case doesn't tumble all of their blades but for the most part they do. There's always exceptions to all lines.

Of course you knew about Case tumbling their blades as you said in the "AGR Rancher and Cowbowy Folders?" thread.

I like a sharp edge too but sometimes they are a pain (pun intended).

Something interesting, a while back I remember reading a post from somebody on BF, mentioning how he sometimes used the crisp edge of the spine on his stainless Case soddie as a wood/cabinet scraper. Looking at the spines on my two stainless soddies, I can see how this would work. I like the crispness of them for the most part, with the possible exception of the corner of the tang itself, which can be a knuckle-abuser, if you catch it when retrieving the knife from your pocket.

I got the scoop straight from the horse's mouth.

...no, not literally!

According to GEC,

We do blank out our own blades, liners, springs, bolsters, shields etc. We stamp them out, waterjet them and sometimes use the wire machine.
