For new knives, I really like GEC. I like what they stand for in offering traditional pocket knives. I also like the fact they are a small company and not interested in being the biggest dog in town. I think this lends to the quality they have, yes there will be some exceptions but for the most part I have found them quite consistent, I like that.
As they they have made their way into the 7th full year of production I hope they are around for a long time, When I buy GEC I enjoy the full experience of the knife, service, commitment, dealers, and who they are. I also hope they remain a small company....
I wanted to post on this because I buy plenty of new knives and have not found IMO any other company more consistent than they are.
