5 out of 5 GEC Does it Again

Makes another great pattern (mines the micarta )! While most will say this pattern is common…they likely haven’t had the chance to handle GEC’s version.
The combination of blades is perfect, the secondary sheep’s foot is not to small and the blade stock is thick enough to make it a good/great push cutter.
The primary clip point is on the larger side without being so large as to be unwieldy or fragile. A good size for your normal everyday outdoor (farm and ranch) or utility work around the house/property.
Nice to see that the springs are sized differently for each blade, the smaller sheep’s foot has a slightly narrower back spring. Thus giving both equal pull weights for each blade.
Fit and finish is 10/10 for my knife, smooth transitions of materials with perfectly centered blades.
Finally the tapered handle feels great in the hand, filling your palm without being to bulky for finer cuts.

Fit and finish are spot on. Walk and talk as well. This is my favorite knife from GEC since the 44 Gunstock Jack.

Excellent fit and finish, as is to be expected from Great Eastern Cutlery. Both blades came surprisingly sharp. This knife has a nice, hefty feel to it.

Another winner from GEC. Mine is flawless. Fit and finish is perfect. Centering is spot on. Both blades are very sharp. I have the micarta version and it feels great in hand. I am extremely pleased with this knife. Thanks Mike for the quick delivery. Always a pleasure to do business with CK
