EXPRESS,yourself

I like it; note the blade swedges on the Tidioute.... som'pin different. I also like the newer version of the shield. I'm still on the fence with the steel bolsters and frame though.

Like the swedges,weiny shield,no blade etch,do not like the bone,same version in some figured CocoB could be nice.

Northfield's in Ebony & Snakewood should be sweet,not holding my breath on the Snakewood though

Better....

I'll take one, looks like a keeper to me.

That particular example of cocoblo looks rather plain, IMO. Not sure I like the swedges on these.

Gunstock- The link isn't working for me. It goes to the GEC website, but says "....not found. Perhaps searching would help."

Whats the closed lenght on these?? Is it 3 3/4" ??

Yes Gino, 3 3/4 closed

I like the Northfield red bone, nice shield and the lanyard hole is handy...good swedge on the blade, but the double pull does look a
little out of place on a short blade. The steel bolsters and liners mite add some weight and give the knife a little more strengh...but
for a sweaty guy like me it won't be one I'd carry in the summer....

Two nail nicks on this knife is a squirrely look. Wonder whose bright idea that was. Aah but I forget. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Or in this case, maybe I should say "eye of the knife holder".

looks..........odd,someone overthunk this one

We know all we'll still buy it.....but the double nail nick does ruin a great design....it should of been left with the long pull only...

The double pulls don't do a thing for me either. I hope the upcoming single blade models are going to have just a single nail nick, either long pull or half-moon.

I agree with all of the above____I really liked the long pull,match-striker pull,that was on the last batch of the bigger knives___to each,his own

I really like a drop point blade, but I'm just not feelin this one...

Monk said: "I really liked the long pull,match-striker pull,that was on the last batch of the bigger knives". I agree and would just add that it was on the blood red 73 as well. Unfortunately, I didn't get one of 'em.

What about it Ken and Ryan? Are more long pull matchstrikers in the works?

I like the swedge.
The shield is so-so.
Where are the threaded bolsters? If steel means not threaded, then bring back the Nickel-Silver.
I DO NOT like the double pull.
I so DO NOT like the double pull.
I will not buy this knife because of the double pull I so DO NOT like.

Bummer.

Not a fan of the double pulls on the Northfields. The cut swedges look a little off to me on both lines as well. I like them otherwise.

I like everything about it, double pull and all. Especially the wood.

Like Monk said - To each his own.

BTW Monk - Thanks for that link.

I just realized that without the threaded bolsters, the Northfield has only the shield and double pulls to set it apart …

Which means I might pick up a Tidioute … no double pulls.

… or I might just sit this one out ...

Don't forget, three new patterns on the way edge.

Like you said,Edge____may as well get the Tidioute,and don't worry about that double pull ____I just ordered a couple,to get a first hand look at em'
