I love these 71s this years run has the stoutest pull of any previous run that i have. This is typical gec f&f, well made and strong. The only problrm i have with the last 2 year runs is the fact that the handles are not as slim and shapely as they used to be. They are a little too thick and blocky for me but this is still my 2nd most favorite model of gec knife. Overall a great buy!

4 out of 5 Neat little knife... Great color... Great heritage... A few sharp edges...

These “Farm and Field” knives are ideal for us curmudgeons who like the old time stuff… A bit small, but handy in the pocket… The fit and finish is good, but not exquisite… Be prepared to knock a few sharp edges off the pivot pin.. It will, most likely, be a bit sharp for us old, thin skinned yahoos with soft hands like me… I did mine in about 5 minutes or less with some 1200 grit cloth… I rubbed the micarta a bit to slick it as well… But, overall, the little knife is great… Sharpened him up, and he is in the pocket now… Highly recommended… Now we need a “big” one to go with it…!!!

Normal GEC fit and finish. Nice stiff pull. The natural canvas micarta is great. Great mustard color and it feels smooth but with a little grip, different than linen micarta which I like as well.
