Lets talk GEC!

The small gap you see is normal for this run. Not an issue and this can be seen on some other GEC and other brand lockback models.

Like Barry said, that's normal. They are all that way now. GEC made a change to their locking springs. No issues at all.

Appreciate it. Really really like the 72 canvas o got and considering a stag. Like the long pull and a wedge.

WTF do all you people work for GEC ? I have now bought 13 of their knives in the last 18 months and no less than 6 should have been discounted factory seconds, living in Canada sending them back is a big expense and hassle. Pissed off in Calgary

Welcome aboard! What other companies are you more happy with? I'd certainly be interested if you know of another production company that does better. Please pm me info if so.

I have watched every Rob Apostle P traditional video And factory tour videos, I've been following GEC for 3 years my my 92 Autumn Gold is a brilliant knife. My stag/elk covers is where gec has problems, My Two Elk 74s both have significant gaps at the bolsters My 38 Northfield Whittler came with blade rub marks which only have gotten worse 38 Orchard Gem secondary blade has no walk/talk. I just received a Beagle 18 stag that is so inconsistent in thickness it should never have left the factory. My Norfolk main blade came with blade rub.

I am very anxious also to get the two 72's that I have reserved . In the meantime , I would really like to see GEC post some pictures of the Jigged Dog Bone in Violet .

I would like for them to post pics of the 77 barlows. It's been a week I think and still no new pictures. I need to see them.

I have upwards of 30 GEC made knives and none of them are less than excellent for factory made knives in my opinion. You must have exceedingly high standards, or you have received bad examples of nearly all of your GECs and are the unluckiest man in the world.

Three posts since Nov 2015 and they are all bashing the same company. Who do you work for? I'd like to see some pics of your poorly constructed knives.

I know I'd never carry such a big knife but part of me is super tempted to pick up one of those OD 72s to go with my 83. Seems like they would be such a pretty pair.

I'm right there with you. I love my green 83 and can't see needing more knife but dang that blackwood drooooooool!
