A study in obsession and greed...

Somehow I ended up with 20 of these

These have something in common.

I think I got all the number 02s except the genuine stag.

!! That blows my mind to see them all together like that. What an amazing photograph. The dead skunk and buffalo horn really stand out for me.

Eric was very kind to let one of his go and now I have my first knife from GEC.

Aren't they beautiful knives? I have one just like it. Bet you can't buy just one GEC.

I was showing the new Conductor I just got to my son and noticed that the bail does not seem right. Does anyone have a GEC NF Conductor that they can compare their bail to mine and see if it is the norm? Here is a pic of the bail. It almost looks as if the pin hole has been drilled at an angle causing a mis-alignment of the bail. Thanks a lot.

TJ,

Even with the great picture its still hard to say?? The pin looks reasonably square to me. I do have a Conductor and although the bail appears more square, there is so little of the pin its hard to say. To me if you look at the gap on the right side of the bail, its says the bail is not square. If mine, I'd carefully square the bail if its bothersome.. I supppose GEC do could do it as well.

Very nice knife..... BH

It is a bit out of alignment. Mine sits square and even on each side.

The bail radius is not exactly right. It is made of nickel silver, you could probably bend it into a more uniform shape if you wished.

What if I try to bend it back into shape and it breaks

A new bail is a 5 minute job at the factory. I don't think GEC is going to give anyone grief for trying to correct the radius of a bail. If one uses a knife with a bail they typically find themselves putting it back into shape many times. With the exception being those knives with heavy steel (bends like a 16D nail)

But if you think GEC would begrudge you trying to fix it yourself, you should get it back to them for correction asap.

That top picture of monk's doesn't look perfectly radius'd either; maybe they will have a learning curve at the factory on perfecting that bend.

well the long wait has ended, thanks to Mike (mito0) my 33 in kauri wood finally arrived

am so please with this knife, fit and finish is outstanding, and I work in an office area so this little knife is a perfect size for an EDC.
