I have several other GEC's, but this is my first #85. I am very fond of their products. This is my first GEC bought used. I havent actually cut anything with my others, but this one will see daily use for awhile. That is definitely a "working" trapper. It's got a pretty dark patina and takes a very keen edge and holds it fairly well. It's skinned more than a few squirrels, a turkey or two and on one occasion field dressed a buck. It's kind of an old friend.....
