Sorry for the typos folks. I couldn't find how to Edit the previous post. The knife is a GEC 734209HP,and even though it carries the the GEC product name and the Acorn Inlay Shield,the blade and hoof pick are both 1095 Carbon Steel. I got that straight from Chris. And the Hoofpick is an 11 or 12 pull on a scale of 1 to 10. I got that from experience!

These knives were a Factory Test Run. Very limited Production. The production figures Leopold  quoting are for the Tidiout Cutlery 734209J,not the GEC 735209HP. Reference the GEC Tube and Acorn inlay Shield. These knives were actually part oof a Factory Test Run and were assembled in 2011,from parts.

Came in the mail yesterday, great knife. I was highly impressed with the quality of the piece. It was my first GEC knife. You noticed I said was, as I sold it 4 hours later at the AKCA meeting that evening.

Easy come, easy go
