Well, I was really hoping that my GEC 2011 iKC Club Knife would be in my mailbox later today. But that's not gonna happen now.

(Drum roll, please!) Ta da!

It ain't gonna happen cos late yesterday afternoon--like 5:30pm--the FedEx man knocked on my door and handed me a box. That's right! It came yesterday! And, as promised, I took some pickies.

So, without further ado, here are a few shots I took of the new knife from the good folks at Great Easter Cutlery...

My overall impression of this knife is very good and I am very pleased and happy that I was able to snag one of these baby's so late in the game. (Thank you Jan & Donnie. Christine Tucker, too!) I really like this pattern, #72. The knife feels great in my hand and is balanced perfectly. The blade came really sharp right out of the tube. That isn't always my experience with GEC knives. I especially like that I can open this large blade much like an Easy Open Jack--just grab it with my thumb and forefinger and deploy. I say I like that primarily because I hate losing my thumbnails to stiff, ornery back-springs. This blade opens easily! Closing it, however, presents the only negative I've encountered thus far. Yikes! Depressing that lockback will take some getting used to. I don't know if it's just mine or if y'all experienced some resistance, too? But mine is a bit of a PITA, so far. Thankfully I won't be opening and closing it all that often. And, perhaps with time it will become a little easier? Like I said, on the whole I am very happy with this knife and certainly extremely happy that I was able to get one. One thing I know for sure is that this year, when the time rolls around, I will be all over the 2012 iKC Club Knife like a cheap suit! 

I'll be posting a few more of the pics I took in my photo album. There is just one more shot I have to post here before I wrap this up. Take a look below...

Cheers to one and all! Have a great Easter, my friends!

Ron

Max,

Great question and sorry I did not make that clear.  103 is the official number.  When we sent out the original 100 there were a couple made beyond that.  We thought they had all sold until Donnie spoke with Chris last week.  Rons is indeed one of the 103

thanks, guys! i'm really looking forward to getting it, too! and i hear what you're saying, johnny, about too many knives and not enough pockets. when i shop for clothes the primary consideration is whether there are enough pockets! it doesn't seem to matter, though. there are always more knives than pockets! sheesh! i'm starting to think i might have a problem here? there was another swiss army knife in my mailbox today, also! yikes!

So glad to hear you got one, these are great knives and I have thoroughly enjoyed mine. I will be giving it more EDC time, I think. Too many knives, not enough pockets.

Ron,

The last one got the best reception!!  Glad it went from orphaned to loved.
