New 14 run

[tstaut]

Mine is here. Great F&F, it's built like a pretty little tank.

If there are any newbies to the 14 pattern, who already have one from this run in hand, could you chime in with your impressions of its size, feel in hand, etc.?

I'm curious, as I've never held a 14.

Fortunately for my collection and unfortunately for my pocket book my workplace is only about 20 minutes away from GP Knives so I do have their SFO #14 in hand. The 14 is a pretty small knife with typical great GEC fit/finish with a snappy action. Nice firm pulls around 6-7 in my book but, I can still pinch it open pretty easily. Basically it reminds me of a shrunk down 15 with a slightly heavier pull. Here is a pic with a #15 and a #78 (the previous GP SFO):

Can anyone compare the pull on this run compared to the spears?

 

[gusnuts]

I'm glad to hear the initial impressions so far have been great. From the handful of people I've heard from the fit and finish is very good, the pull is between a 6-7, and its very snappy!

The hits just keep on coming...

I regret not getting in ond this one for the sole reason that it "looked too much like Barry's."

Is it sold out already?

Is it sold out already?

I have no clue. Even if it isn't, I dont believe I have room in the knife budget for it.

Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated!

I'm about 45 mins north on I-55 from GPK myself. Great folks there!!

Beautiful gusnuts !

Thanks @knifeswapper Living in the same state can be advantageous, arrived today! Love GEC's sawcut bone ... new and stiff so can't quite pinch it yet, not a nailbreaker but snappy!

Great to hear about the snappy operation, John!! I hate gettin weak action. She’s a real stunner!!!

Same here. Excited to get my hands on this one. Sounds like the pulls on this run are very snappy...I like it!

My email from Gunstock said "your early reserve 15..."
Also goes on to state "151118".
Aren't these #14s?

 

[gunstockjack]

They are 14's. My bad.

 

[Babalu32]

They are 14's. My bad.

No worries, I like 15s too

 

[JohnDF]

Mine said #15 too, but Barry is probably as excited as we are

 

[Ramrodmb]

Anyone happen to pick up an extra GP blk canvas, message me PLEASE!!

No one picked up a spare?!?

 

[Spaten]

Don't ask if there are any left or how much, 'cuz "no" and "I don't know" are all I can say, but they are coming off the line, and they are beautimous!!!!

Those look great, Barry! I can’t wait!

That sawcut sure is beautiful. Sadly it looks like my standby reserve will never come to fruition as ain't nobody backing out of buying one of these.
