seems most appropriate this time of year... golden woods, pumpkins and cocobolo

D6A7EB02-9B92-4FF1-A672-D79C289B99E6.jpegI think this is going to be a great carry! Smaller than I generally have with me lately, but not too small, and the extra width from the two springs gives it a bigger feel in hand. I love the cam tangs and the blade selection and configuration with the nicks on the same side. Very little I would change with this one.
 
This is my first one and I like almost everything about it. I really like the size as it’s in that nice middle range, not to small or large, good pull to open and a nice snap on the close. Luck of the draw but I got a nicely figured cocobolo, no liner gaps, transitions were well done and it arrived pretty sharp. I like the bolsters and lack of a shield, not a shield fan on what should be premium materials. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the pen secondary. I would have preferred a coping blade vs pen with the clip primary but that’s me.F5619023-0C8E-4FBA-B4F4-AF620B5E499A.jpeg810351D8-C828-49D5-B796-C9DE14B637F9.jpeg

I've got one coming next week, and I'm already giving serious consideration to converting the pen into a coping blade.

That secondary really should be a comb for brushing our ponies if we're being honest.
 
The cocobolo on this run is really light. I don’t ever recall it being quite like this on any previous GEC runs. It makes for a pretty knife.

(Of course, being cocobolo it will probably darken up considerably with use.)
 
I received my Pony Jack today. It needed a ton of oil. Maybe these weren't weren't given the "oil bath" treatment to prevent discoloring the cocobolo? Also of note, when the excess oil eventually began to come out of the knife, it was clear, so they must have cleaned the parts well before assembly.
 
Can some one tell me why there is an aversion to having the nail nicks one on either side?

I don’t necessarily have an aversion to that, and have several knives I really like that have that configuration. But I prefer them on the same side just because I can easily open either blade using my natural motion, without having to turn the knife over/around and adjusting how I open it, however slight an adjustment that may be.
