Re: GEC - Lockback
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.

Re: GEC - Lockback
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

Re: GEC - Lockback
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.

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.
