Thanks Jim! That's good to know! 

I'll have to get a black Bull Nose sometime.

Craig......

O1 is just as easy to sharpen as 1095 and will hold and edge longer...I've been using O1 knives in the outdoors for the past 5 years and have been very happy...

Hey guys, while I was talking to Chris last night I asked her if the glow in the dark one white and she said no.  Faint green tint even when it is not glowing

I'm curious too as to how easy it is to sharpen 01. I know my GEC 1095 holds a good edge and it's REAL easy to get a razor sharp edge!

Craig,

I'm sure I don't need to tell you how nice these Great Eastern knives are. This lil' guy is certainly no exception. Especially in the bang for your buck department. It's just a really nice little knife. I say it's little, but that's simply because I have been carrying and using a much larger Spyderco Paramilitary 2 for so long. Most traditional knives by comparison are significantly smaller than their tactical counterparts. Ergo, the Bullnose feels little to me.

I am so happy with it! And I, too, am also curious to see how the O1 fares over time? What I know thus far is that the blade was expertly sharpened. I viewed it under a 10X Triplet Loupe and the grind was absolutely dead-on perfect on both sides. I gave it a few swipes on one of my strops and it is now razor sharp. I will be using it daily to see just how well that edge holds up. I'll keep ya posted.

Cheers, my friend!

Wow Ron, I can see why you are excited about it! It looks great just from the pictures. Looks like a good work knife. I'll be anxious to hear how you like that 01 in use!

If they come out with a smaller version too, they might corner the "Sod Buster" market and create a "Bull Nose" market!

As you saw in my previous post, the mailman (who is actually a woman) delivered a brand spanking new GEC Farm & Field Bullnose knife right to my door yesterday. I am so stoked about this knife -- It is absolute perfection!

Naturally it came in the familiar GEC cardboard tube and wrapped in brown wax paper...

Here are a few assorted photos that I took during the course of the day...

As you can see in the pictures above, it fits right in with some of the other orange knives that also reside in the house. I'm sure you all recognize the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 and also the Victorinox Cadet. The orange delrin handles on the F&F are simply beautiful. The shade of orange is really nice, also. The knife feels really good in my hand. The size of this Bullnose @ 3.75" is perfect. The blade has a half stop and the pull is strong yet not so strong that it is difficult to open. The nail nick is sufficiently deep to allow a good purchase when deploying the O1 steel blade.

All in all it's a great little knife -- I love it!

Is it just the lighting you used, or is that a really nice shade of orange?

I wish I could be stabilized.

LOL, I am guessing there is an F&F in there somewhere.

Confirmed with Chris, all materials all stabilized.

I wonder what that could be..........
