I don't really know much about this one...I got this Pal in a trade a while back, in a pretty sad state. The main blade had a ton of play, and all three blades looked like they had been sharpened on an 80 grit belt with grind marks 1/3 of the way up from the edges (I really should've taken before pics). It got tossed under the display case until I came across it yesterday, when I noticed it has a punch and got a wild hairI got the main tightened up, sanded out the grinder marks, and started a new pickle relish patina (the only thing in the fridge at work). I also got the punch sharpened up and it's pretty sweet, cuts a nice round hole in a leather belt with little effort

Ron, that's a very nice forum knife! What year is that from?
2014 and IMHO the finest all around knife ever produced by GEC.
That's a great example of the 2014 knife, Ron!
