GEC knocked it outta the park. Good luck knocking this one out of my pockets. Wow, over the top. Can’t find anything wrong with it.

Sorry for the weird color on the pic. Smokey skies here.

I'm pretty sure that's just heat treat scale. They generally don't polish that part.

You’re good to go Zippo123. Here’s a picture of mine; they’re all like that.

I wish you guys would buy these things up before the temptation gets too great for me. I've got two 2 bladed 73s, and they are great knives. Perfect size for a medium user.

Unless you are seeing active red rust there, that is perfectly normal - it's just heat treat scale like what redoxmusic said. They don't make a habit of polishing there.

Here is a small lineup demonstrating this:

I unwrapped what has to be the, uhhh, um… most interesting packing paper I’ve ever received from @knifeswapper! . Creative web address at least. Haha

It is a chunk of knife. I’m a little biased against high gloss finishes. They can look a little “plasticy” to me. I do like the jigging and the blades are sweet.

My only comments on value are we bypassed the immediate bump on the secondary here. I’m ok with that. But no denying the fun factor on “normal” GEC bang for the buck pricing.

Have you tried dulling down the glossy finish with some super fine 1000 grit or finer sandpaper? It can make it look so much more like real bone, rather than plastic.

I tried but smkw have an anti Australia policy.....which sucks. Lucky for me I have connections....

Sorry meako , I just saw this. So you‘re telling us that they have an anti-antipodean policy? Tell them that since two negatives (anti‘s) make a positive, they should express ship you a complimentary Baby Bullet due to a logic error on their part. This wrong must be righted!

They are really well done. I may kick myself a year from now for not snagging 2…

Crazy all the variation in the scales. Im seeing a lot of light colored ones in addition to the dark ones like mine. Can’t decide which ones i like better!

Yea…. “I have enough knives” every knife nut in America…LOL

 

[Modoc ED]

At least, you didn't let the grass grow while putting a patina on it. Looks good - nice job.

Thanks, I like to start out with submerging the blades in a hot vinegar bath for 2 min, followed by a cold water rinse. I repeat this 2 more times. The blades will look black at this point. Then, using a silver polish with wet paper towel, gently buff it to even it out. It will then look like an even gray color. Then start cutting as many apples, tomatoes, purple onions, and hot chicken that I can find . After using on food, simply rinse the blades and towel dry. This really does seem to stop the little rust freckles from starting, and it’s fun to see all the different colors and patterns from different kinds of food, every time you use it.
