First Traditional Folder

[Kalsu]

I am new to the traditional folder side of the knife world. I have always looked at them and admired their sleek look and design, but never committed to buying one. Then this morning I was on the forum and was reading a post where someone recommended Great Eastern Cutlery. I had never heard of them so I looked them up. Then I found this little guy. I love the wood and just the simple design. So it is on its way to my house via USPS. Pretty excited to get it. My first traditional folder!

That's a nice one. You will like the GEC knives. And welcome to the sickness.

Congrats on buying a really nice GEC Trapper. You are going to really enjoy owning it.

Great knife, and a perfect first.
I have two of the GEC 48s, and I love them both. I'm sure you'll love it too.

I am sure I will really enjoy this knife. It takes me back to when I was a kid packing around a Schrade Oldtimer Stockman. Does anyone know how thick the blade is from the spine to the blade bellyon the Tidioute Trapper?
