Hell yeah.
One of the sweetest knives I've had. Beautiful like photos don't capture, the perfect size, weight, solid lock up unlike my 72s, great blade design, smooth, flush, tight, perfect finishing, what's not to like? My two cents is get one before they are gone. Less than a hundred clams and you won't regret it.

But they don't have plenty of Black Camel Bone. When I nabbed this, there were 27 left. Now there are 4 and none with much color. All depends on what you like. I like Black Camel and they are running out fast at KnivesShipFree.

I was able to pick one of these up when I attended the Rendezvous earlier last year. I've always been a big fan of the #72 lockback so I was excited when they introduced the #83 as a mini version.

It's as smooth opening a knife as the bigger #72 and it locks up just as tight. The size is perfect for slacks or a watch pocket, but this knife fits my bill of a perfect vest knife. I like to keep a knife in my hunting vest so I'm never without a good blade.

It's enough blade to get a lot of things done out in the woods, especially if you don't have another option. This one was a real home run by GEC, I'm hoping to give mine some more pocket time soon.

Figured I'd add some pictures.

This knife would suit me perfectly if I worked in an office space or somewhere along those lines. I don't think this knife is "intimidating", but it's definitely got enough cutting power to take care of any task you'll face most days.

Just a little guy.
