I’ve been wanting one of those. I’d like to hear your thoughts on it. Nice score in the GAW!!
I'm impressed with it. One of the best of the 13 stockman I have access to. (Not that there is anything "wrong" with the others ... 'cept maybe the stain less steel blades. I just like carbon steel bester.)
I like the size. To me it isn't "too big" or "too small". (neither is a 4 5/8 inch vintage Old Timer 858, one of my other stockmans.)
I don't know if it is a fluke, or if GEC gave up on the "beartrap"/"Nail Buster" pulls I read here on BF they had. The pull on all three blades is a "5", "which makes it even better", IMHO.
Judging from the edge retention of my 852211P, Harness Jack, it should hold an edge just fine ... at least for what I use a knife for. (Whittlin', food prep, sharpen a pencil ... I don't think I'll be peeling any critters or cleaning any fish again ... but the 1095 blades I used for that held up just fine. I've no reason to think GEC's 1095 isn't as good as Schrade and pre-Coleman Western's was/is.)
As I said in a couple other threads I'm probably going to carry this for at least the rest of September.

A "Safe King" it isn't. Too nice to sit around and collect dust. (besides, collecting dust has
got to be boring ... unless it is the interplanitary or Interglactic dust, perhaps ...)
I don't know yet how prone to a patina it is yet. I should ask the staffette for a orange, or a banana or something, and see if I can get a patina started ...
