Got the email alert half an hour ago from a dealer. They are still just sitting there... I have not seen that in a long time.

I see 3.7 oz on one site.

According to SMKW - 3.4 oz but other knives with this frame are listed as 3.7 oz to 3.8 oz

3.7 ounces on my postal scale.

Cheers. 3.7oz seems reasonable for this size and should be fine for carry. I often carry a Case Copperhead that's 3.875" long and 3.8oz in weight. Its heavier than a single blade knife or one with wood covers, but carries fine in jeans pockets.

Haven't seen those retail prices before either... I think they go hand-in-hand.

Ya definitely. I hope it is just for the Remington name.

I can afford ~$100 a month on a hobby but at almost double that, I would have to really love it.

Purchased today from DLT

$170 for a flush joint Remington bullet that has a pocket friendly 3" blade? Count me in.

it's not an easy task to make that flush joint. Kudos to the GEC team.

Can't quite make it out from the pictures posted but do these knives have a Squared End Flush Tang meaning that the Blade, Spring, and Bolsters are all lined up square?

The spring ends on mine are about 1/32" lower than the tang and bolster plane.......

Standard on the GEC 73 pattern, always has been.
From 2007 -

Yeah it might be hard to do but at GEC pricing more patterns should have this....

Obvious defect...I would be glad to take that off your hands with a steep discount!

Thank you sir, they really did a great job on this run.

I agree.

It's a beauty alright.

Patiently waiting here. They look really nice folks!

I'm quite impressed with the new Prospector! The fit and finish, walk and talk are excellent. Plus it feels just right in my hand, it's a keeper.

 

[Viper84]

Really glad I picked up one of these. One of the highest quality GEC's I own.

Going in my mini engineer caddy for today.

I have been looking for a nice traditional slip joint and saw this and decided to order one today. I really have no knowledge of the these knives or the history until I started reading up on these. I ordered mine from SMKW and yes they are still in stock. I'd like to find a leather slip sheath for this as I'm not a collector and planned to carry this one but I'm not hard on my stuff. This thread has been full of great info. And the more I read the more I am glad I ordered one.
