GEC - Lockback

Biggie_Robs · Post by **Biggie_Robs** » Tue Jul 06, 2010 4:02 am

Congrats on your new lockback!

I love mine. The jigged bocote is a really nice handle material for a user, as I'm sure their bone is, too!

This guy summited Mt. Lafayette (and Mt. Lincoln and Little Haystack Mtn.) in New Hampshire with me on the 4th. One of my favorite EDCs.

Thanks, I wish I could catch the jigging in a picture! It's pretty cool.

Yeah, when I first saw it I thought it was smooth, but still a good pic.
I like the looks of this pattern, but I'm stuck on the 73's, Hows the luck up, or the walk & talk on these knives?
Thanks

It doesn't snap quite like typical GECs, but it does have some walk & talk to it. The blade swings pretty freely, but it's solid once it's locked into place. It snaps closed once it gets to about 35-40 degrees, but I don't worry about cutting a finger off like I sometimes do with my 25. I think they got the action right for a lockback.

I've got a red stag on order...they didn't make very many.

Order soon.

Ya'll talked me into one!
I'm really enjoying it too. The spring is not as hard on my nails and it's surprising light in the pocket.

Monk,

Wow, what a gorgeous collection! That Burnt Orange, combined with the "bomb shield", is awesome!

I dream of winning the lottery so I can have one of everything GEC releases .........
