Did the old man's hat get wrinkled?

I think Halfstops old man was tipping his hat to you

Yes sir, Mark,,any day!

Might be, but I will just say human error at the factory. GEC is by no means perfect all the time and even they, with their great track record, can make mistakes. Let’s face it, Bill can’t be everywhere all the time. IMO, a small flaw to have considering the high level of quality on this run of #14s!

Man I've been striking out on these. Just too busy to stay on top of things. I sure hope they crank out a bunch of the non-SFO models so I can get a crack at one. That being said, its been a fun ride. I don't think there's been a stinker in the bunch.

Olywa, I would only suggest you go to GEC’s sight and start by looking at all the dealers. Sooner or later you will find some available.

I am seeing the Tidioutes available at a few different dealers now. I am even seeing some additional SFOs come back around (like a small quantity of the DS). I think there will be plenty available for you now that the dust is starting to settle a little on the single blades (almost).

BAM I'M IN! Just scored a burlap micarta due to a much appreciated tip. This is one that I have been lusting for, so all is well.

Nice! I had to get one of those too

I meant just enough to break the sharpness of the corner. Are you guys talking about removing more metal than that? I might be misunderstanding. At any rate they look like great little knives, congrats to everyone who's scored one.

Is there a way someone can add an arrow to a picture of the knife pointing to the problem area? Thanks.

I think this is the problem area being discussed.

This might be the area referred to, the swedge is slightly sharp at the arrow. Pocket time or 10 seconds and some fine sandpaper would round it. I like the precision.

Railsplitter oops, was posting at the same time you posted.

Thanks, guys. That is what I thought it was, but wanted to be sure.

Has anyone posted a picture of a new 14 clip beside a Case Peanut to demonstrate size?

Found it! Never mind. Thanks!

in and out of the pocket will buff that edge right down

 

[singin50]

That’s what I’m hoping for too! If not, no biggie either.

I’m sure some of you are wondering, if you look back at my earlier posts, where my smooth autumn gold bone knife is. It’s coming and will probably show next week sometime.
