Yeah, hard to understand what happened with the recent DS 85 run...a shocking fail by GEC. The knife is very well made, but the acrylic execution detracts significantly from the quality. I’d be surprised to see those covers on a Rough Rider, Schrade, or any other “lesser” brand. On these GECs with the price point they command it’s unconscionable.
This would be my dream GEC!
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a canoe in any handle material
I wish they'd bring back more of their old acrylic styles, that one is fabulous.
Really digging that acrylic. What was it called? If they make more knives with that acrylic I might be tempted to get one.
Thanks. This is one of my favorites in the collection. I wish I had went for more acrylics when I started collecting. They’re so much nicer in person than what photos show on most acrylics.I wish they'd bring back more of their old acrylic styles, that one is fabulous.![]()

Totally agree.
I was so disappointed in these seams, I dumped mine right away.
Sad, cause I really like Dead Skunk on other runs.
Here's what mine looked like, no way I was never not going to be annoyed by that seam.
Couple in salmon to clear the palette.
