cheers mate, and yeah rogers bone is very nice, lovely knives

i was at the queen knife show 2 weeks ago, which had a queen factory tour on that thursday. i did the tour, and of course was very involved with all the workers and their jobs. anyways, i asked the guy who did the buffing that day,, name escapes me for the moment, i think russ or ross.. hes been there for 41 years.. we had a good chat,,,,, if he would buff my edc, which was not a queen at the time{ shame on me}, but a gec 73 stag 2 blade, the 1095 steel was all rusted looking from being in my pocket so much.. well, he did a very fine job, so good it took the acid etch of 1 0f 50 off the main blade, i didnt care, its my edc, but it looked brand new for a well used 2009 knife.
the next day found me across town at the gec factory, i told them about the buffing and how it got rid of the blade etch. they said i could leave it with them and when they get set up with that etching design, they would do it for me, sid it would be about a month. today i got it in the mail, fedex. they paid delievery. it is like brand spanking new now. no scratches or patina rust marks and a new blade etch.. i dont know if i want to use it now.... but i probably will, sharp as a razor, they did all the fine tuning, cleaning sharpening and oiling...
love those 2 companies

Awesome story Chet!
Thanks for sharing.

Most of the US knife companies I have dealt with are just super with there customer service.
I have had dealings recently with Buck -awesome customer service!
Also with Kershaw, Boker and Gerber; they all have EXCELLENT customer service.

I am glad to hear GEC and Queen are as good as the others!

Been my EDC Jan. 2011 until present.

Nice one. I've been giving serious thought to that same one for quite some time. I admire your EDC timeline. Since I found GEC I have to mix it up every couple days, otherwise I start feeling like I buy knives I don't need.

I do care work with elderly with dementia so im carrying my very little opinel #3 tonight at work, nice and small

I didn't think I would like to carry this knife but it has really grown on me. Best RED bone next to an old Case. I don't think there is such a thing as a knife you don't need.

An admirable position my man! I agree completely that there is no such thing as a knife I don't need.
Plenty I don't WANT mind you.........

This Robeson is fun to carry, because it is a great knife, and the back spring so heavy that a person has to exert extra force to open in. I have one thumb that will not open it right now!!

I bet you said "Ouch! that really hurt" or something, like that.
I got one of the new SMKW Robesons on the way. I hope I can open it.

Nothing but yellow for me today.

I agree with Johnnie__great pics,Caleb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been carrying these two all week******to let my thumb nails, grow back

Nice Lock backs,Monk!!

mr. twoshoes from sarver. you went from green grass that needs cutting to snow. all in one day,,,,,,crazy pa. weather

Yeah you know how it is, never can trust are weatherman.

Howdy!

My EDC has pretty much resolved itself to a Kershaw 1660 for a larger locking edge, plus one of these two pocket beauties. I think they are the perfect size for a pocket slippie. Since I can't choose a favorite, I alternate.

Well, I missed a bunch but back from vacation. Nice one guys!! I like em all!

Welcome home Gino

Hope you had a great vacation.

Not my favorite, but a nice small (maybe a little too small) pocket carry. A CRKT Van Hoy Snap Lock (2005 SHOT Show edition) - a little gimickie but has an excellent edge that will open anything I need opening. Not to mention it seems to be SHEEPLE friendly because of the design.

Nice little knife,BB. .......I had one years ago.....and to this day,can't find it. ...really...I don't know what happened to it.
All I have is this pic to prove that I had one!!

Thats a pretty cool knife. I have never seen it before.

I still have my GEC 48 in my pocket. Its a great knife!
