This little Utica has some very nice steel in it.
The tip bolsters makes it so light I don't even feel it in my pocket.
Boy is this baby sharp!

After 3 days of carrying it, I an very impressed!

LOVE! ENVY! DROOL!

Gino, what do you think of that new Case?

Mike, I really like it. I like it so much I am making it my newest EDC! Its a cool knife and sharp as any knife I have ever bought straight from the box.

Glad to hear it Gino. I've been carrying mine too, they're really nice knives.

Thanks mike

It is a spanish Miguel Nieto "El gran Cazador".

I have a couple of those I inherited from my father-in-law. Are they any good?

Miguel Nieto is one of the most important knife maker in Spain. He is from Albacete and this is the spanish's Solingen town. This pocket knife is a 1993' "El gran Cazador" model, with micarta wood handle and 420 blade steel. Nowdays Nieto use modern steel for the blades manufacturing.

Please, post some pics of yours Nieto's pocket knifes.

I would be happy to, but it will be Thursday before I can do so. One I have is like this one you posted. The other is a spearpoint type blade with a swedge on top. Neither is in as good shape as yours...the etch is very faded.

I have a small Nieto lockback as well … not nearly as nice as that one - mine has aluminum handles with some sort of composite insert. Will post pics when I get a chance to snap 'em ...

Well even though my NEW case mini trapper is sweet I just have to go back to this old 2 dot 1978 copperhead. This one serves me better. I really like the other also, its just not as strong as this one. The thicker and better carbon steel compared to SS and size is the main reason.
I always have this Sog twitch II clipped on my pocket as well.

I touched the edge up this puppy and its razor sharp now, it's in my pocket as I type. I can't go without toting a GEC around so these have been splitting time. The little GEC #25 is a great knife, really a perfect little pocket pal, it gets the job done on apples like no other. The Toothpick is a great backpocket piece.

Nice group caleb! I really like the first GEC and the last GEC you have pictured. ::envy::

j-2-s, Really like those GEC's. Was home a couple of years ago and drove up to GEC to take a look at their factory and knives. Very impressed. That's a fine looking Case you show also. I grew up a little south of Saxonburgh. Good to see someone from near home. Take care and keep showing those fine knives! Bull

Dropped this little beauty in my pocket sheath this morning.

Little beauty is right! That is a sweet looking knife.

Here's an EDC that's been down for awhile. I sent it in last Saturday for repairs and got it back this morning.................no charge! Not even for shipping! I didn't even ask them to sharpen it, just replace those itty bitty screws on the pocket clip.

I call her "Stonewall Jackson"

Here they are:
The spearpoint has a lot of side to side play in the blade.

the knives are in nice conditions, I like the spearpoint.

They are nicer than I remembered.

That little Wharnie is one classy ride ...
