This GEC "Scout" Trapper has been lightly belt sheath-carried and lightly used to cut herbs, fruit and other soft materials. The blades are full, wobble-free, unscratched and have been carefully touched-up on fine ceramic rods. The 1095 carbon steel has developed a very light and extremely even patina, and the blade etch is faint. The springs are a very nice uniform gray.
The scales are spectacular deeply grooved blood-red stag that's nicely matched in texture, thickness and color. The front scale came from the factory a tiny bit short--around 1/32"--so the liner is just visible at the end of the handle (see the 3rd image from the top) The bolster is serial numbered and scratch free.
3-3/4" closed; 3.8 oz; flush joints. The springs are flush both open and closed, but slightly shy at the halfstops. Both blades have a good, strong snap, but they definitely aren't nail-breakers.
Much as I like the knife, I've decided that I don't need two full-length blades, along with their attendant weight and bulk.
I'm looking for $85.00 Sold!, which includes USPS Priority shipping with delivery confirmation. No PayPal fees if you use their no cost "personal gift" option. Possible trades considered for GEC Cat's Cradle Cuban or Wharncliffe Congress.
Thanks for looking.
