GEC Bullnose - Black or Orange?

[Modoc ED]

Hey! All's good. Just thought I'd restate my thoughts again for clarity.

 

[Modoc ED]

By the look of the new cover over at GEC it looks like they're making another run of the #71 Bull Nose with Orange delrin covers with Black linen micarta covers to follow.

I really don't need another to add to my group

but who knows? I might have to add another couple.

 

[Modoc ED]

Somebody said they were going to bring one out with Burlap micarta covers. If that's so, I might have to pick one of those up.

…but who knows? I might have to add another couple.

I'm in the same boat, ED. I don't need any more…

…but I might be tempted. I'm curious about the burlap, and how the burgundy linen Micarta will compare to the red. Plus, I don't even have one in black!

I picked up an orange one during the last production run. Nice and bright - easy to find when you set it down somewhere, especially in the woods.

btb01, that is a really good picture, i like all the colors.

Ya gotta get a black one.

I might. Last year's run of #71's was the first GEC pattern I collected more than just 1 or 2 of. The fact that they're so reasonably priced certainly made that easier. These knives are one of the best deals you can get from GEC.

You're right on about value.

I have an orange that rides in my hunting coat for just in case.. John:thumbup:

I think I got in early enough to secure a red, but after seeing the orange I wish I had gotten orange........

 

[miltmaldo]

Are these limited runs . Or exclusive where can I get one .

 

[onojoe]

You beat me to it. But Orange will be easier to find

Orange is the new black.

 

[miltmaldo]

Hi want a green one can somebody point me to a web site that has them .

 

[polymerhead]

Orange micarta would be awesome. Not a fan of Delrin. I have a black micarta 1095 from the last run and an older green micarta in O1 steel.

 

[miltmaldo]

Hellllppp I want a green micarta . Are they out there or not . Lol

Is the micarta grippy? It looks grippy. Surprisingly, the acrylic is not slippery at all but the micarta looks like it would feel nice in the hand.

 

[Modoc ED]

Canvas micarta is somewhat grippy but I wouldn't say the same for linen micarta; however, it is not slippery either. I've never had a problem holding onto any type of micarta.
