I agree John, I would classify it a wharnie also
Oh I nearly forgot ,if GEC want to call that a sheepsfoot then that is okay by me but it sure looks like a wharnie.
Sorry for the wingeing Ron,guess I am just getting mean in my old age . It could be from being from the north of England. I am going to get more GEC cos they are so well made ,love my Cody Scout, the Carl Schlieper is nice but it's GEC that I like the best.
John, I hear ya and I greatly empathize with your dilemma regarding the cost of purchasing a knife outside of the UK and the outrageous cost of importing one. I know that factor alone would make the cost of owning one of these GEC knives prohibitive, for me at least.
What the hay! I don't have to pay those exorbitant duty fees and they are still practically beyond my means. That's why I felt such a severe pinch in my wallet pocket when I saw these stag beauties. *sigh*
BTW, I believe GEC is calling that blade a Sheepfoot? But, like yourself, I looked at it and thought that it was a Wharnie, also. *hmm?...scratches head*
I sure did like these Ron but Knives Don't Ship Free to the UK in fact it would double the cost with taxes else I would have had one . Hope you manage to get yourself one of these, I love wharnies !
Ut oh! I sure wish I hadn't seen this picture!
OUCH! I just felt a severe pinching pain in my right hip pocket. *Oh, Snap!* That's where I carry my wallet!
It looks nice though don't it.
I didn't want to own an acrylic handled knife , how could GEC be so wicked as to call it Red River acrylic on their new 81 stockman, I doubt most of you can realise how that name resonates with a Brit brought up on US movies. I would have bought the African blackwood but that name !! Maybe I can see sense, but I doubt it.
