Yes, both make great users. I have the very same GEC and I really like it. The spey is such a pleasing shape. Great for food prep. The droppoint blade is great for any other task
Oh... and the yellow Soddie is almost a classic, nothing more to add here.

According to the tang stamp 1920-1940
It appears to of never been used at all, and still has a nice snap to the blades

Such a simple timeless design that fits applications across many spectrums. That's one I won't mind carrying to work, fishing, field or whatever and not care if it gets beat up. And for the price, how can you not like them?

Great knife, my friend! It will look plain awesome with a lot of patina ... and some worn out bolsters and scales
:thumbup:Thanks Andi!
Arrived today in the mail!!! It's better than I expected and any thoughts I had of possibly modifying it in any way immediately vanished. Now, my dilemma is whether or not to actually sharpen it and carry it. It's never been sharpened or carried! It's as new! There are a couple of VERY MINOR blemishes, the biggest being the carbon spot in the lettering on the lock blade. But nothing that wouldn't possibly be found on one in a box of new knives. The wood has that beautiful deep reddish-brown tone that I love. The sun has to hit it just right to really show in the pics. A very solidly built knife with rock-solid half-stops and very strong closing snap. Overall, I'm VERY happy with this one! (sorry for all the pics)

Well it will certainly get better with every project! Can't wait to see it in about 5 years.

That one is a real beauty, Glenn. The deep redish coloration is just wondrous. It really is in pristine condition and will be a tough decision to use it. Sit back, sip on your coffee, and ponder it for awhile. Great to see it.

I recently purchased my first Soddy Jr in CV Yellow. But when searching around for the purchase, I also saw a Sodbuster Jr in CV Chestnut Bone that really grabbed my eye. I just got it today and so far I like the different look and feel from the yellow. I do really like the yellow but thought it would be good to change it up a bit once in a while. The Chestnut Bone is much thinner and feels a bit more stealthy in the pocket.
