Only one complaint... It came pretty dull overall and they spay blade had a bit of what looked like a chip which was a supprise to me but I didn't mind because this knife has so much character that I enjoyed spending the time sharpening it to add my own touch to a wonderful GEC knife
 
well my attempt at attaching a picture failed... for any interested it is a #73 GEC Scout Trapper with Elk Stag handles it is absolutely beautiful

If that chip was about half way or in the middle of the edge of the spey blade it wasn't a chip. It was most likely a "dimple" caused by the blade striking the area where the center pin goes through the knife from cover to cover. Three maybe four sharpening sessions will remove enough steel so that the edge of the blade no longer contacts the center pin. The same thing may happen with the other blade but again - two or three sharpening sessions will take care of it.

Nice knife.

that is exactly where it was thanks for the information and i spent a while last night taking care of it so they would be shaving sharp. that was my first time working with 440C so it took longer than I expected and isn't quite up to my standards
 
In the meantime, just ease the blade back in rather than letting it slam shut. I've got a few knives from various manufacturers that I have to be careful about with this.
