GEC Farm & Field

The knife I showed in my last update is the GEC Farm & Field in O1 steel and orange delrin handles. It has replaced a much more expensive piece in my right pocket (I'm a Southpaw) and has found a use many times every single day since I got it.

It's not too heavy, not too big, certainly not scary to onlookers, and it takes and holds a great edge with a minimum of effort. Sure, it's mostly been used for breaking down boxes, trimming tags, and peeling and slicing fruit and meat but it does those things with ease and the occasional heavier abuse it can handle too.

The lockback can be a little sticky but a quick shot of Tuffglide brings it right back to life.

Now I was a Sodbuster fan right from the beginning so it's little surprise that this particular design appeals to me but to bump a CRK Umnumzaan out of my pocket and up for sale was a little shocking even to me.

I've got some patina on the blade and it could probably use a quick cleaning and lube again but the knife does what knives are supposed to--it cuts.

Thanks for reading,
