We'll be getting materials moving for this and the other new models ASAP. The answer won't always be yes but when you guys and girls speak, I will at least listen to what you have to say. I'm really glad I did in this case for sure. The GSO-8 turned out to be a pretty awesome knife design.

Taking customer ideas and making it a reality, truly is incredible. Thank you, Guy.

I'll keep watching the production schedule page to see how these new announcements fit in :thumbup:

We'll be doing the big announcement of these in next Friday's newsletter.
 
I order mine today, and I want to give a couple of my random thoughts here. The 7/7 I own has a false grind, and as such, is more of a large fighter. So the GSO 8 is substantially different. The GSO 10 is a pack mount knife or goes inside my pack. The GSO 8 is a lighter, smaller version. I think that it would carry fairly well on the belt or MOLLY load bearing vest. Time will tell though. 1/4" 3V is overkill and not required in this or any other knife in my opinion . If I want a chopper without battoning, I'll carry an axe or hatchet. The GSO 10 chops well enough for general camp duties, and I can thump on it hard when it falls short. I like big knives, but reality is that I do not edc them. I might put the GSO 8 on my belt for a hike in the woods. I never have done this with the GSO 10. It might even be too big and heavy for belt carry as well. I have belt carried my 7/7 without issue. I also ordered the GSO 6 today, which will ride on the belt nicely I'm sure. I think that the GSO 8 fills a hole in my lineup. It approaches the utility of the 10, but in a smaller, lighter package. I can edc it in my day pack I carry to work, and have a substantial blade if my car skids off a snow covered road out of cell phone range.
 
Well said McVeyMac!
I agree with you completely on every view point of the GSO 8. I think it'll be a very practical blade at that size and weight. I've had a few 1/4 thick 5inch blades that were cool but they were ridiculously heavy for their size.
 
Just so there's no confusion,

new spec GSO 10 .200" thick
GSO 8 .190" thick

It approaches the utility of the 10, but in a smaller, lighter package. I can edc it in my day pack I carry to work, and have a substantial blade if my car skids off a snow covered road out of cell phone range.

Good post MVM. The 8 would make an excellent 'peace of mind' blade for sure.
 
I'll throw this table here. I use fractions all day so they're easier for me to calculate sizes.
