Keeping It Old-School: Case Knives vs. GEC and the rest.

Thanks man! Yeah My wife buys me knives and has a few of her own, knives are my cheap hobby. My favorite Russlock is the Calypso blue drop point. The one with script is cranberry bone.

Nice! What is your other hobby/hobbies? Amazing, I just saw a drop point last night somewhere online. Where did you get it? I love the shape of that blade! Seems more my style than the clip. oohh, Jealous.:thumbup:

I see there is a Blue Lagoon Drop Point Russlock coming out in June. I might have to pre-order. Darn, Case!

All things shooting and reloading. I got my drop point Russlock locally when it first came out.

congrats on the new buy, and the GEC sodbuster is a "bull nose" which was a revival of one of their older models, there was a thread in traditionals about it not too long ago

Thank you brets-ftw. I'm on the trail and will get one if it takes me years. I'm like that when I get after something I really want. It took me 20 years to finally get a Gerber Sportsman 2 "V" steel ( Vascowear, dated 1986, bought in late 2006. ) . I have bunches of fixed blades in O-1 but no folders yet. I do like the steel.

Thanks again.

Great photos of modern and traditional. I just ordered my first Northfield this morning, and am pretty excited about it. I've never owned a product from GEC, but i think I picked something that will give me a decent idea. I'm definitely interested in Stockmans, Trappers, and some Canoe patterns I've seen are really cool.

Thanks. Think I am hooked on GEC knives now. Amazing. More people need to hold one in hand.

I dislike swaybacks and most any knife with non-straight/simple/... lines. However, I do love me these two: Vic Alox Solo and Alox Bantam-

Great feel, great snap, nice and thin (especially the Bantam! though I'm not so fond of the bump the combo-tool makes), just all around wonderful knives. The Solo really is the biggest knife I NEED for day to day city life; a simple wire clip would be nice though. A snappy "Solo" with the correct side flathead (not a combo tool) would be the friggin bomb!
