Thank you to my ND Post Master Paul, this great friend is behind all my knives that a major percentage go through his hands before they meet their final destination - New Zealand!
I think back to when Charlie suggested that some time in the future he will hopefully work on a Scout Knife - I also remember very clearly stating just how much I wanted that Knife if it would become a reality.
I imagine Charlie talking to Bill at GEC, I often wonder and try to picture a mental image of the two setting about the beginning of the fruition of this Knife - let alone all of Charlie's amazing SFO's, is this over the Phone, face to face or e-mail? - possibly all, but its very intriguing!
Charlie, once again, an amazing Knife, I and so so happy that I have this Knife with me here in New Zealand, I am super happy with the Waynorth Etch, but miss the Tang Stamp and wondering why its not here - frightfully I imagine the Etch being lost, but if the Knife had the Waynorth Cutlery Stamping- forever it remains!
I LOVE the peach seed Jig work with it's slim elegant Shield Bar, almost a touch of a subtle Empire bar -but a nice touch which compliments the Jig work wonderfully.
Build quality is what one would expect with a Waynorth / GEC collaboration - and that is arguably so close to Custom build quality.
That Talon of the Can Opener looks like it will take on any task placed before it- I haven't tried this out yet, but plan to in fact all the steel is still untouched being simply half a day of carry, but I am one happy Camper having this very nice Knife, my thanks go out to you Charlie my friend, and to my North Dakota friend Paul Hilborn - a great day today with my first day of carry of this awesome Knife!
