MY knife came with a decent edge, but this morning I honed and stropped it, and it cuts smoothly now!!

Thanks and Wow Nice picture also Charlie ! First class as always !
Mine came with a nice edge to and seems to be handling envelope duty just fine but have my Leather block Strop with some green and black compound at the ready :)
Don’t think it’ll need the ceramic rods though.
Looks like you’ve got the perfect edge now 👍🏻
 
I would love to be sitting at the table watching you do this Charlie! To be sure to pick ups a lot of knowledge just watching this!
I bet Charlie would use the bottom of his porcelain coffee cup just to show you how it’s done right :) with a smile . I had the honor of meeting Charlie at a blade show in Oregon years ago and was fortunate enough to be able to talk with him and hang out off and on throughout the day. When I left I felt like a true Traditionalist and that was with only a fraction of his knowledge.

This really is one of the best-looking new pocketknives in years. I normally say that I prefer single-blade knives, but what I really prefer are single-spring knives. (This is all closely related to how I like 2-spring stockmen, but have no interest at all in 3-spring stockmen - a single spring stockman is amazing!) Nice work from waynorth waynorth and GEC, again. Congrats to all of you who've picked one of these up. This is an instant classic.

Thanks for the kind words!! I, also, like the features you mention, Tyson!!
Over the years I was always struck by how few of these single spring stocks appeared with collectors or on the market!! Bill sure helped fix that!!! I'm honored to be a part of that!! :cool:
 
Waynorth is easily my favorite brand of currently produced factory-made traditional knives.

One of the very nice side effects of waynorth waynorth Charlie's great leadership in pattern selection, material choices and design is that we also get GEC branded knives made in those patterns.

As much as I love my City Stock, I also really enjoy my Tidioute 81 in Ebony and NF 81 in violet bone. Similarly, I really cherish my Ebony and white bone Riders, but also quite enjoy the 86 sheepfoot Bull Hide Carver.

I don't know if we would have seen a single spring stockman without Charlie's efforts.

Maybe I'm wrong, but Charlie seems to influence other GEC production in a fantastic way.

Bravo!
 
I’ve had a few traditional knives pass through my mail box this week that I really reallly like and they have yet to kick my CS out of my pocket and that says a lot. So I can proudly say staying loyal even after the honeymoon :)Going on a week now if my memory serves me correctly 😳

Ha Ha!! As much as Bill can be influenced!! He has strong views on what a knife should be!! Fortunately I manage to stay within his parameters - usually!! 😁
