I certainly am pleased that Great Eastern Cutlery decided to make the Hogan a regular platform. As a fan of the single-bladed trapper design...it only took a simple glance at the GEC Hogan for me to become very "hooked". The Tidioute model shown here features EXCEPTIONAL build quality and beautiful Garnet Jig Bone handle scales! Once again, my buddy Gary Norton of Northwest Knife Company has steered me into another magnificient blade. There simply isn't a better knife dealer in the Western US.
