i love this label completely! ::nod:: i love brass
pins but steel pins would have rocked to match liners. ::tu::

great label...great knife! ::tu::

i have some of their first release toes....love em.

wasnt happy with snap the snap at all that well.

did e-toes originally have weaker snap on purpose becuase of the blade?

figure with GEC trying to stay with tradition may have kept snap weak.

also i wonder if maker of OLE number 7 wanted some $$ for using this label? just curios.

Gec Toes are made not to have the wicked snap of earlier toes in the day. I believe I read this somewhere on the site. I have quite a few and all are the same, good snap but what we collectors might call weak snap. Not a problem, as designed.
