GEC Tidioute EZ Open

[abiggs]

I just ordered this one. Anybody have one? My goal is to carry it for a month solid once I receive it. I usually switch out my EDC every day or two but I really want to put one to good use for a month and see what it can do. Not sure if I can stick to it or not, but I'll sure as hell try! Wish me luck!

I like them.

I have one- I like it! It's a slick little knife- a sturdy, very useful blade in a tiny little package. I just wish they had skipped the swedges on those. I find it a little puzzling that GEC would make an "EZ open" pattern, and then make it harder to open by adding slippery swedges on the blade. Not every blade needs a swedge!

Here's GEC's distributor list- I think the EZ open should be available at most of them. :thumbup:

I have the sheepsfoot with a pen blade
A great little package!

The sheepsfoot has a nail nick and can be easily pinched open
The pen is still a little stiff...

i love the ez open--a great pattern. some of them leave off the nail nick all together.

I thought the same thing when I got mine, at least the back spring tension isn't an 8 or 9.
