Great eastern cutlery 25 beerlow

[Matt_WY]

The 25 is a very cool pattern, more useful than than it would seem for the size. I also like cap lifters. I don’t think this one is for me though. Not much cutting edge left in front of that cap lifter. It almost looks a little Rough Ryder Reserve-y to me. And this is coming from a guy that really likes the comb knives GEC has done.

Pretty much where I’m at. The 25 is a small knife, 3” closed. I’ll need to measure the blade, but Im guessing it’s under 2 1/2”, removing half for the cap lifter doesn’t leave much usable blade in the end.

Still there is a little chance that GEC will also make a regular blade version. Maybe as an SFO for someone? knifeswapper Mike?

I'm so glad that a good portion of you think that this knife is dumb. More for me!

I’m not saying it’s dumb. As others have said, I think the scales and bolsters look great. Just overall not for me. Alex.Y. summed it up well, a lot going on for a little knife.

oh boy...

apart all the fun we have discussing that knife...
i would say its not the best idea to combine a blade with a sharp edge and a caplifter (not just after 10 beers )

Thanks to GEC, this month I will save some money....

JoKr my thoughts exactly....Not sure it even belongs in the traditional category.

Bone looks great. Color is great.
Come on GEC, make some more 81 stockmans!

25 is a joy to own and has shown many options in blades: Wharncliffe, Spear, Sheepfoot,Drop-Point etc plus some having 2 blades, but for me at least this one is a non choice option As others have noted, you could self-harm with this thing without wanting to. Beautiful scales and bolster make it all the more tragic.....bit like some beautiful vintage car that has some embarrassingly ludicrous 'customization'

It looks OK provided you don't open it...

Possibly GEC will sober up.... and offer some Drop-Points or Wharncliffes again as well ?

Caplifter craze is at 11. I enjoy a caplifter as much as the next guy but my goodness. Hope the people who want it are able to get it. I will be watching from the sidelines on this one. My wallet is happy.

True, but at least it's in proportion and an ingenious inexpensive design.

Agree. Put a useable blade on it with those wonderful covers and I will rejoin the insanity.

#25 SFOs were more a knifeswapper Mike Latham thing.

A local knife swapper has one of those for sale, I recall seeing it but didn’t give it much thought, interesting to see another in the wild.

 

[pholder]

That is almost pointless. Hey GEC, why not leave a full blade and have the bottle opener in the pinch opening. DONT FORGET MY ROYALTIES
