Dont know which ones, but they were free with another knife purchase, memory not too good around here? it was back in the times when you could actually buy northwoods instead of the shite we have now

Northwoods Gunstock

I can say that these Northwoods are made well. And who can argue with a free knife. (hint, people do..) I am anxious to get mine, but i think i know about what to expect from Queen. I appreciate that you are trying to set the bar a bit higher for the Northwoods brand, and i think...

Got my straggler 😃

I’ve never received a GEC made knife with this much gap between the springs though, is there any way of remedying that? The giraffe bone is awesome however, it’s going to be a great user.

That’s a beauty. There might be some gunk caught between the spring and liner. A real good flushing sometimes helps close them gaps up.

Thanks sir, I tried flushing last night and it seems to have opened the gaps up more. I will try giving it another flush with mineral oil instead of KPL this time, though I’m not sure it makes a difference between the two

I like mineral oil because it’s cheap. I usually find slight GEC gaps subside with usage. If it’s gotten worse, you might have something jammed up in there. I would try some hot soapy water or oil it up real good and break out the air compressor if you have one.

Had a very brief moment to fondle and photograph this one before Mrs. Smith scolded me and packed it away not to be seen until Christmas Morning. 😇The most prominent thought was a wish that GEC polished all of their ironwood like this. Personal preference I know, but the finish just makes that beautiful wood pop IMO.

View attachment 1675584My first sword arrived today.

I had a Beavertail 23, and let it go because of the pull and size. This is a whole different thing. Dare I say it feels smaller? The pull is strong, but right where it should be.

I think it would feel smaller, even a bit lighter, due to the fact that it does not have the additional liner that made up the liner lock in the single blade 23s. I don't really care for the liner lock on those 23s, though I have gotten used to it by now - hence why I am interested in these Lookout Jacks.

You’re spot on. I really like my Red-tail 23 with the bullet shield, but this Lookout Jack sans the liner lock feels surprisingly thinner.

I'm sorry for that. Hopefully you can find one somewhere down the road.
With the way the retail prices are right now, it's going to take something really special for me to want one.
As a cutting tool, no matter how nice they are, I just don't see the value in them for myself... hopefully prices will drop some day.
