Great Estern Cutlery: USA tradition's appeal

Hello everyone, today I would like to introduce you two Great Eastern Cutlery pocket knives: the first one is the NORTHFIELD CUTLERY #42 LOCKBACK AUTUMN AMBER BONE aka “Missouri Trader”, the second one is the NORTHFIELD CUTLERY #23 Pioneer Jack Cocobolo wood. Specs: Missouri Trader Total lenght: 193,5mm Blade lenght: 82,5mm Blade steel: 1095 Tool Steel (Carbon) Lock: Lock Back Closed Lenght: 107,9mm Handle material: Autumn Amber Jig Bone Bolster(s): Nickel Silver Liner(s): Brass Wheigt: 102 grams Made in: USA Pioneer Jack Total lenght: 210,0mm Blade lenght: 95,0mm Blade steel: 1095 Tool Steel (Carbon) Lock: --- Closed Lenght: 114,0mm Handle material: Cocobolo Bolster(s): Nickel Silver Liner(s): Brass Wheigt: 178 grams Made in: USA In my opinion GREAT EASTERN CUTLERY folders are just at the top in terms of fit and finish, craftsmanship, material’s quality. That said, I found that GEC pocket knives are great also in terms of toughness and efficiency on the field, so don’t worry and use your Northfield UN-X-LD, Tidioute or Great Eastern Cutlery for, your pocket knife will do what he need to do. I also like a lot the history behind the different models, and the feeling that every single model gives to me, as I was a Missouri pioneer, a Great North trapper, even a fisherman or a simple farmer, depending of the models…call me mad, but I feel like this using my GEC’s pocket knives daily. Sadly, it’s not easy to find a GEC pocket knife here in Europe, but luckily there is the GEC Online Store for http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/gec-online-store/ …if you are quick enough, because the GEC pocket knives are often limited editions and are very collectables, so that means that they will not stay long time at the store. I firmly guess that a Great Eastern Cutlery pocket knife it’s mandatory for the ones who loves the great USA pocket knives traditions. Ciao, Alfredo
