I heard a Beavertail rumor. YIPEEEE!
The new knife arrived and there is pictures and opinions to come later today.
Robert, I'll send you an e-mail buddy.
Tom, it has some good play in the blade vertically and horizontally. I could take the side to side out myself, I just don't know how to fix the rest. The knife is an "S" or "store" knife and GEC doesn't warrant these knives, which is not a problem, I completely understand why they wouldn't. I would live with it if it weren't for the fact that it wiggles when I'm cutting, even for the light chores.
Johnny, glad to hear that you found yourself a Frontier bone #72. I need to start carrying mine again. I have crossed over to the dark side and have been carrying a Benchmade Mini-Barage lately because I like it's assisted opening - sorry guys for bringing up a non trad. J2S, will GEC not repair your Elk #72 knife at all or will they just charge you since it is not under warranty? What is wrong with it - too much vertical blade walk as usual? I have a Burnt Stag single blade GEC SS #73 that has some walk issues that I need to send back too.
Johnny, there is others that refurbish knives besides the factory where they were made. If you need some names let me know.
Okay guys, I just got word back that my Elk will not be repaired. It's a "S", or "store" knife, so it's not under warranty.
Peter...
Good to have you with us. We get a little wild with our ideas but every opinion and idea is good to all of us. We can learn a good deal from each other.
