folks who enjoy GEC will be thankful that they can get one without the same scramble that has been the case in the last year or so

I remember in the 70's when those pants were all the rage with the western crowd... made by Lee i think.
 
Last year, in the threads for the bf knife, people alluded to the nastiness those threads regularly cause. I had thought it went extremely smooth. Now i get to experience the real deal. I hope some of the people that are boycotting gec due to frustration end up deciding to get one of these. If you only have one gec and are a member here, it should be a forum knife. Hopefully people can put their prejudices aside and enjoy this knife, whatever it may be.

But he was "faster than lightning, for no-one you see, is faster than he". He sure killed a lot of varmints by punching them with his nose.

I've been thinking I might not get this knife, because I have a BF (2020) knife, and I really don't need any more BF knives or knives in general. But I just ordered an 8" chefs' knife I don't need, so who can say?
 
I am very much looking forward to getting my first GEC knife. I am curious about the quality difference between GEC and Case, I have been very pleased at the quality coming from Case. The fact that it will be a forum knife only makes it that much more special. Thank you, to all involved.

long time Case guy here... I’m very excited for you. I was nervous to try something different than a Case, especially in 1095 as opposed to stainless, but I’m a convert.

I don’t know, I feel like he removes too much metal when he puts on the factory edge.

Thank you Sir.
GEC knives are so quick to sell out, by the time I open the email they are gone. They also seem to get 2 or 3 times more expensive once they leave the factory. It is quite frustrating, but I am a patient man.
