Lets talk GEC!

If you have an 85 coming and plan on keeping it as a collectible be aware that the majority of all prior runs had blade rap. A dent or notch on about the middle of the sharpened part of the knife if allowed to close normally. There's a lot of info about it in this forum. Personally I feel like this is a good thing as GEC is packing as much blade as possible, but for those that collect these it can be upsetting when it first arrives and you want to hear that bear trap snap closed and find dents in the blade. Maybe none will have it this time, I hope all have it because that would tell me GEC is continuing on business as usual and stuffing the blade well with as much fat spear as possible :). My user 85's sharpened out the blade rap notch with one simple sharpening. It's amazing to me that they can cut it that close.
The manufacturer may consider letting the blade snap closed to be not a normal closing method. The manufacturer may suggest lowering your blade closed for safety.
 
Flippers be aware....

Stupid me, wasnt previously logged in on my phone, site was a little slow by the time i got in there 3 minutes after the email dropped it was all on standby. Oh well! On to the live drops!

Same here but somehow I got in there while it was still green, I’ve had the worst luck lately though so I’m going to have to try to score an 85 or two the hard way, which I haven’t been able to do for months, always too late, hopefully they’ll make a lot.
 
Got in on standby as well. Hope it will work out because I only have a 97 so far! Picked it up to see what all the fuss was about and really like it, but its a bit large for every day.
 
I'm in on the 38 whittlers! Woo hoooo!! Just lucky to have my phone in my hand as the alert came thru and immediately went to the site.

Can't wait to get this pattern in my hands. Don't currently have any 38s :D
 
On standby. No notification came in on my phone, though the Telegram app was active. Noticed the little indicator on my desktop icon about 3 minutes late :(

It is nice that you told the new folks that . At least they now know about it . There should be no complaints ????? :(:eek::p:D
