This #38 a full-fledged Northfield. What you would expect from GEC. Buy one these for your EDC or a thoughtful gift for a friend. Before you know it, all 38’s will be bought up not to reappear for a good while. I own more than one.

4 out of 5 .38 Special Indian Paint Brush Satin blades
Geneknives (verified owner) –
Two were purchased because this was the only distribution of this Northfield model with Satin blade finish rather than the typical polished finish. The two knives arrived as described and were well oiled. They have not so strong walk and talk as CK described. The Indian Paint Brush Jig Bone is a very beautiful cherry red hard to find in GEC; however, one had a small black spot on each handle and the other had a black spot on the pile handle (photo). Hopefully this is that black factory grease and I will investigate to remove. The Satin blade is very nice with the Northfield etch design differing from the polished version. One star was deducted for the black spots.

Your picture shows buffing compound. It will rub right off.
