No I'm not. I've been carrying this knife for 2 days. Now i'm not sure if I should carry it. Looks like the production numbers are pretty low.

Lee.....

Are you familiar with GEC's numbering system..if not will lend a hand...if you notice the last two numbers refer to the year made......and GEC just release the 2012 Totals you'll need to wait another year.

I've heard lot's of talk about GEC's stout backsprings. A very stout backspring,together with a positive half-stop, almost eliminate the need for a locking blade. If a person would use the knife hard enough to overpower the backspring, than the half-stop would catch before the blade closes on your hand.

It has a very stout half stop. I don't hunt much and have never really had any preference one way or another. A lot of people do though.

Well I tell you this. I wish I had had a boys knife like this when I was a kid. I took it to work today and showed it off. I really had to grin when the guys started cupping there hands around it to see if it really glowed in the dark. They came up grinning every time. It made them feel like a kid again too.

oh and LEE ..both of those GEC knives would make great EDC...the one thing i dont get and i have seen it on a few brands is with such a hard working knife as a SOD knife is.... i always wondered why other brands like CASE or GEC have not follwed though on a lockback version.. i have seen EYE BARAND with lockbacks or their sods.i even wrote CASE directly about it. they did replky but its not even on the table as of now... they actually wrote me back in a way that it was something NEW...i dunno... im guessing the boys knife has a half stop{i dont know but most do out of safety-why no locking dvice on the sods?..if the GEC SOD has a half stop i didnt know..forgive me....
