What I like is the look of an early 20th century knife without all the wear and tear. Rat-tail bolsters would have been a perfect addition to this knife.

Agree jerry,rat tails would have been the crowning touch. Too bad GEC doesn't do them,which I don't get btw

What I've heard is they're too difficult. Seems to me it would be simple enough to set up a vertical mill with ball mill tooling and turn them puppies out before breakfast. But what do I know? I'm not a machinist.
Makes you wonder if back in the day, they did those with a rat-tail file (thus the name). I can picture a couple of guys sitting hunched over a bench all day long, just filing grooves in bolsters.

I think the #45's are AMAZING!!
**The clip blade on the NF #42 may be my favorite blade from GEC to date. IT'S PERFECT!!
