#89 Melon Whittler

Post by searcher1970 »

Anybody have a #89 Melon Whittler? I was really drawn to these. Whats the blade steel? On the website I was looking on it said 1095 or 440c.
Thanks
Rob

I don't think they have made a Great Eastern branded model yet; thus it is 1095.

Is this what you had in mind? It has smooth goldenrod bone and PPP (Pattern Production Premier) on the back and blades made from 1095 steel.

I don't know anything about the steel but I sure like the #89.

Here's a couple of #89s in American walnut wood. I had the darker one for quite some time now but the light one is a new addition... I picked it up in a swap. Both of them are in spear blade, since I have two I am planning on carrying the darker one. ::tu::

Ryan -- That's a GEC? That's the latest one, correct? I don't have one of those yet. Love that acorn shield.
