For those who have these in hand: any evidence of blade rub?
Surprisingly no, but it is really tight in there. The main blade is like half a millimeter from rubbing the side.

I wasn't expecting aerospace grade tolerances on this knife.Viper84 that is a great pic showing off GEC’s build quality - what a fine knife.
I assume GEC is busy organizing all the top shelf gnarly sambar stag they have in inventory to give us a stag 34?
I only just saw this! Thanks for the replies. I don't know what an 82 Dixie looks like, so off I go to check one out! I have a two blade/one spring 62, and I already wanted a Cattlemen so this is good news for my wishlist!!!Search carving and Jiki in this forum and you find a few of my answers.
Short answer 1.5 -1.75 inch wharncliffe or sheepsfoot.
62 pocket carver
82 Dixie
35 cattlemen
All have good blades.
I guess I live nearby Spark hahaWow you already received the BF one. It’s a beauty
We’ll be flooded with them soon! The knife is flawless though. Nice walk and talk on both blades.We need more pictures of the knife. Please
Didn’t think of that! Michael Jordan popped into my head lol23 for '23 - nice !
I believe BF version is a Northfield configuration. This year it is an exclusive config for BF, so most likely next time.Has GEC ever done a pattern premier and not made Northfield versions?!
where are the Northfields?!
