Great Eastern Cutlery #71 Bull Nose. Orange Delrin handle and O1 tool steel blade. I got this today. WOW fit and finish on this one is right on. Only thing I did was sharpen it to the type of edge I like. It came sharp I just like it sharper. I was born in 71 and have orange hair LOL

That O1 will take a scary-sharp convex edge. Great knife!

Now that is one fine looking knife. Did you use a black light to photograph the tang stamp?

Very nice. I was thinking it was a color negative effect.

just used the neg effect

Pretty knives. Just double in price. I'm glad they are great quality knives.

Nice looking knife.

Got to thinking last night and I'm wondering how you will/can work this knife in with your other field gear. Would you carry it as a food/light use slicer or perhaps more heavy duty work.

Take care when deployed and thanks for serving our country.

Just grabbed one myself. Love the color, great ergos and feels indestructible. Had to sharpen mine as well, not a big deal.

This knife has got to lure some converts away from Moore Maker. Right in the same price range, but seems to be of much higher quality than anything manufactured by Bear. Thoughts?
