All About Pocket Knives

I would be interested in any forum 86 knives that anyone wants to part ways with.

Thanks, Rick

If you can't find one from a member, just click on my link above, SMKW still has some.

Thanks, but I am looking for the "Bladeforums" SFO.

Oh, gotcha.

I'm very satisfied with this one. I'm looking forward to the Stag edition.

No wonder you're very satisfied, that is one of the nicer ones i've seen. Well done.

Thanks Cudgee or should I try to act like I know some Australian and call you "Mate"?

My friend, mate, you can call me what you like.

How are people rating the pull and action on the #86’s?

I have good sample sizes of #44’s and this year’s #92’s if people want to compare to those.

Thanks.

I think the pull is about a 6 on these. A little stronger than some of the more recent knives GEC has made.

I agree, plus smooth positive half stops and great snap.

I think my oil needs changing, but I love it!

Perfect fit & finish and walk & talk if you ask me.

You know what they say about a red background.

Autumn gold jigged bone plus all the rest so far...

Jerry I really like the lighter shade on your OCB. Looks great!

Thanks Dave. Me too.

Sa-weet lineup there Mark .

If anyone is looking for a #86 GEC, i was informed by email from Old Town Cutlery this morning that they have a few in stock, they were still available when i last checked, but might be gone by now. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Great looking lineup, Sharpnshinyknives!

Thanks, I had some extra time and lined these up several ways to find the best look. I will have to recreate this after the tortoise shell acrylic arrive and if I can get a stag when they are released. Thought I had one at CK but got an email this week saying that my “confirmed” was changed to “stand by” looks like they will be releasing fewer of these in stag than expected. Stag is going to be really tough to get.
Here are two more photo’s, changed the focal point on each one. Couldn’t decide which one I liked best.

This #86 with the Northfield trim and Autumn Gold jigged bone looks so good i just bought one. From the descriptions posted, this is one old time heavy duty knife. The fairly 'deep' clip blade and coping secondary will suit all situations.
I am looking forward to this knife. I think i will get the "Oh Wow !" reaction when take it in hand.

Mark, is there one of the 5 that 'grabs you' the most ?
Do they all feel similar in hand ? Or is there enough difference in handle weight to give each a specific in hand feel ?
I am assuming the 2 with bone handles are the heaviest.
If you have an old pot scale you could weigh them
