acrylic?

Post by prairiedog »

quick question...I have a 73-pattern scout made in 2008...patriot series 1 of 50..is this celluloid???would it be safe to store with my other knives?? probably a "rookie question"... :D ...but worth asking.

Yes, it's acrylic. If I'm not very badly mistaken (it happens), GEC has never used any Celluloid on their knives.

acrylic is not only stable but very tuff. i doubt any would crack if dropped. i believe the old problems associated with celluloid have made some sales of gecs acrylics slower.--HiPower
