GEC 215124 Farm & Field Bull Buster

What do you folks think, better grab one with or without the lock? I am leaning towards the lockback version itself. Besides, there'll always be a chance to get a non-locking version in the future releases, and LB versions don't come out often.
 
Ah geez, orange! I'll have to keep my eyes on the exchange after these come out.

I been after a Friedrich Herder in this pattern but haven't pulled the trigger. A nice American made one in orange (with a lock!) would be hard to pass up.
 
I personally would prefer micarta over delrin in terms of durability.


Wonder what's this. Might be a blue-black richlite, because it's too dark for red-black one.

And is that steel liners? Is F&F always gets them made of steel?

A little history of the Farm&Field brand!
Bill started out calling these knives Red Neck knives, until he found out another guy was using that name!! Even though he had permission to continue, Bill opted to change to the Farm&Field name, rather than risk future legal wrangles!!
I think he changed from 01 tool steel to 1095 a short time after, by 2015!!!!Red Neck 1.jpgRed Neck 2.jpgRed Neck 3.jpg

Interesting bit of history there, Charlie. Had no idea he wanted to call them Red Neck. When I was growing up in a small town in Southern Indiana, that was an insult the rich kids used on us poor kids.

As an adult, when I did some research on the term as it related to striking coal miners, I realized it wasn’t quite a much of an insult. Almost a badge.
 
On their website it says that the farm and field was designed to be an affordable day to day knife for people to use practically that can't afford to be buying their higher end knives.
I doubt many make it into the hands of any other than collectors.
It'd be good to see them as a standard line, not my kind of knife, but I do think people should be able to own a gec with pride and as I see it the greatest calling for a knife is to be properly used.

Stand by - if I manage to reel one in it will be a user for sure!

In my book, there ain't no such a thing as a knife that's too good to use - but there are definitely some that are too good not to!
