Lets talk GEC!

Where'd you see it? I'm not finding it on YouTube. Would love to see it.

What dealer? I'd scroll the entire content of instagram, but I have a new baby daughter to care for.

What's Instantgram?

I like real grams. Not the instant stuff

OHHHH, that link displayed really oddly for me, looked like someone had posted their login page. I got it now, thank you.

It’s like a black whole: sucks everything in but is essentially made up of nothing.

Are you sure Joshua? I thought it had something to do with the metric system.

If you like the knife I would recommend buying it without concern of lock up.

Thanks for the input. Your response reminded me of a philosophy I've tried to follow when agonizing over buying one of life's little luxuries, "You only regret the things you didn't do (buy)." So I bought a #83 in Bocote and am extremely impressed with the fit, finish and function, as well as the basic design. Now if I could only find one in ebony...

Hello,

Can somebody make me a photo of a #73 close to a #15 ?

Thanks a lot.
I wish you all a great week-end

Here's a comparison of a #15 and a #73, J-M!!
The #15 is 3 1/2", and the #73 is 3 3/4"!

3-3/4” is the sweet spot for me. I had to refrain from buying all 3 of the 73 cover options as I value my marriage I have a rosewood on the way and a Remington in the queue. Really pumped for these two blade 73’s!

Thanks a lot JB in LV and waynorth

I'm loving the Remington trapper a lot. Although the bullet shield doesn't have a pin on the backside like the Tidioute shields. Could it still be pinned in place? what do you guys think?

Awesome, it's a great knife. Ebony would be a nice addition. Keep an eye out for orange camel. The camel has just a touch more weight and the color is fun.

Havent heard this, what makes you think that the shield wouldn't be pinned?

Oh boy, I can actually duplicate an image of some of Mr. CC’s collection (with knives from my collection)!

I was comparing the production photos of the Remington and the Tidioute #73's and the bullet shields don't have a stem like the Tidioute shields. Maybe they're added later? That left me wondering if it's going to be pinned. I remember when the AMKCA #97 was released the shields were glued because of the way it was designed. Although GEC didn't make the shield

What's Instantgram?

Lol. Its the running mate of Twitter and Facebook for how to get into trouble without even trying.

 

[gunstockjack]

I think it's a safe bet that the bullet shield will be pinned. These won't show up on distributor shelves for a few weeks since they ship to BRK and then the distributor.

Short numbers on the RW and Bocote.

Mark and Charlie waynorth . I like it a lot!

I’ve occasionally thought of that as its own thread topic, if it’s not already been done. Pictures duplicating or in the notable style of another Porch member. But I would want it to be taken as a homage and with a chuckle, not in any other way. I’ve done it a few times when I knew the individual would think it a complement and get a laugh out of it (such as when the subject knife was once mine).
