If you see any GEC 43's still for sale, grab one of those if you like the pattern. It is a new 2018 pattern IIRC, and they are gorgeous, great sized knife... not too small a blade and not heavy either.

I think the latest release was the 06 Pembertons. For whatever reason those didn't do much for me... I like the scout styles and really like sheep's foot blades on the smaller 15's like the Beer Scout, Crownlifter's, etc... and simple Sodbusters. I don't like spear points. I have been wanting to try a CASE sodbuster, but I love the GECS so much and they are so affordable... sending $30 or $40 on another brand that was not up to par would leave me wishing it was spent on a GEC. I tried some Maserins from the CK SFO value line and was disappointed overall. The GEC 71, 21 are just great knives.

I was in the knife shop on Pier 39 in San Francisco yesterday (it’s a tourist trap, yes, I know), the guy there probably moves more pocket and flippers than any other knife shop in NorCal and he’ll wheel and deal on cash. Small shop, big inventory, tons of foot traffic from mostly tourists,; nice guy, the owner, running the shop too. If you’re going go early and park on the street/meter parking on Beach and Stockton St., those garages are hose jobs...

Nice one. I will check out that shop someday. I have been looking at Trestle Pines for a while and haven't bought one yet... kid of kicking myself for not grabbing one of the Sheep's foot with crown lifter proto's they had on TSA.

That knife shop at Pier 39 has the most expensive prices I think I've ever seen. Most of it was Chinese junk as well. I want to throw out a shout for Perry's Tactical in Concord. that's a small, family-owned business that has an amazing selection of the best stuff. All of it is priced pretty much the same as you see on the internet.

Gyuto, 210mm, in 52100 carbon steel.

It’s made by Shi han Knives in New Mexico https://www.shihanfineknives.com

It’s an interesting blade, the steel if alive, it reacts to food like you see above and patinas in an instant, but cleans up; it’s a high maintance steel and will rust if you leave it wet, I apply a food safe Japanese.oil during storage. The edge is razor sharp and slightly toothy and the blade is thin, slicing is very effortless and accurate, for a tall blade it’s easy to steer because it’s razor sharp and thin; it’s considered a Chef’s knife but it’s too thin for an all purpose Chef’s IMO. The maker has an impressive story and philosophy, his ‘zero point’ philosophy, he talks about it in the link.

So I just got a Kizer Soze for a good deal and said what the hell. It's not the most practical EDC but a nicely made knife nonetheless. The false edge can easily be sharpened if someone wanted too.

I like Kizer knives. Very good quality for the price. I bought a Kizer mini Sheepdog. It was my everyday carry until just recently. I picked up a Benchmade Blue Bugout which has become my EDC.

If the Bugout was $20 less, or the same price with nice G10 scales instead of the FRN (plastic scales), I would consider getting one.

But, just recently picked up a Real Steel H5 Gerfalcon for just $34!

I had the same thoughts too. I was also concerned with the fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) scales. It is very very light and thin. It fits my EDC for now. I have several that I rotate depending on my needs or whim.

I wasn’t planning on buying this but one of my knife dealers was having open house after they relocated, A Perfect Edge Cutlery in San Mateo, and I was working at their event on Saturday helping out and they had a ZT 0301 in the case and a new one in the box and the owner gave me a great deal so I grabbed it. They’re going to be having a clearance sale coming up in April, if you’re in the area.

I need to get a bigger clip for this beast...

That knife is beautiful with all that patina after use... I see that on some Moras after using where the patina cleans up even if I want it to stick.

52100 is close to the SR-101 Busse steel. I use quite a few stripped ones or factory polished ones and they do patina pretty easy with food or water, but even dry in kydex they stay spot free. Supposedly the SR-101 has a couple elements in slightly different amounts than 52100. I really like 5160 too.

Geesh. I waited 1 year on a Busse one time and that was too long. 3 years go by I might be collecting completely different types of knives, hahah. Glad you like it. Busse will take you money about 14 days before they ship... so sometimes the hit is unexpected. I guess that is much more preferable to them keeping your funds for a year.

Survive! got banned from bladeforums for those type of shenanigans.

I’d stay away from them. Too many other good options to put up with those type of issues.

Glad yours came in though ryno.

Here are my latest purchases:

US made Kershaw Link. Bought 2 and swapped parts around to get the blue scales, blue back spacer, and S35V steel.




Benchmade 420 in S90V, super light weight.



Limited Sprint Run Spyderco Native 5 in M4 steel, natural G10 scales, and a titanium Lynch deep carry pocket clip.




Lastly a stoopid sharp BRK Bravo 1.25 LT in CPM-3V and red linen micarta scales. I almost cut off a finger the first time I used it camping.

Sometimes, if you want really cool knives and don't want to pay secondary market prices, you have to be patient and build a relationship with the maker in my experience.

YMMV

^^^ I agree, I’ve waited years for custom knives and guns, almost 4 years once for a Ralph Bone folder, over 4 years to get a Parker Brothers SxS reblued and restocked, I just ordered a Randall Made model 28 while I was at their factory in Orlando, FL, Gary Randall took my order and deposit personally, I’ll happy wait the 5 years to get that one.

Sometimes I think it’s an age thing, our modern western life demands things now, retail grooms people’s immediate wants with an immediate supply of mostly massed produced goods and generations get used it the convenience, when they have to wait for something and can’t get the gratification of the purchase immediately, as they’ve become accustomed to, you see the reaction we see here.

The Survive! knife looks very nice, but what about it would take so long? Is the company that back ordered? I guess I’ve just never heard of them.

Sometimes, if you want really cool knives and don't want to pay secondary market prices, you have to be patient and build a relationship with the maker in my experience.

YMMV
Ok, but I would not count the time spent building a relationship as the time it took between when you ordered and paid... to when the knife shipped. If you waited a few years for books to open back up from a one-man custom shop, sure that's different I guess. Some of the knives with insane wait times just look like Bark Rivers to me.

The wait times I was referring to weren't building the relationship, they were from time of order to receiving the knife.

Wow, I might be impatient the first five years, and then indifferent the last three years, hahah. I guess if there's communication from the maker... yearly update?

Most won't communicate anything during the wait time once the order is set and deposit made if a deposit is required, you can always call them but it won't speed things up, typically, it might actually make them mad if you call too much...YRMV...


Custom knives don't appear to be your game, anyways, crufflers, maybe that's a good thing...
