The (un)Official Bullnose Photo Thread

Attention Fellow Bullnose Enthusiasts!

I am starting this thread to showcase all of those new GEC Farm & Field Bullnoses, in whatever flavor--orange, black or GITD--you might have. Of course, any of the older Bullnoses such as the most recent Rednecks are also welcome.

I just got my orange beauty a couple of days ago and can't seem to get enough of it. It's just sooo purrrdy! Not to mention, photogenic!

I am encouraging anyone with a Bullnose to dust off that camera lens and start snappin' some pics. Then, post them in this thread.

Here are a whole bunch of pics I took in the park yesterday. I hope that you will enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them...

This last pic (above) also includes my Spyderco Paramilitary 2 and ZebraLight SC600. These items constitute the heart of my EDC. The Para 2 and ZL SC600 have seen daily action for more than a year now. I have never intentionally left home without either during that period. The new Bullnose will now join the ranks with these veteran EDC's.

Thank you for indulging my newest obsession from Great Eastern Cutlery.

I've shown ya mine ~ Let's see yours!

Those Bull Nose knives don't work at all.

I could right a book on the Bull Nose, I have carried one everyday for past few months and have thoroughly enjoyed using them. Great slices, awesome cutters, lots of power in that 01 steel. The latest chore was pumpkin stems and the 01 blade ate through them like warm butter.

That's a great pic you posted of them 3 "non working" Bullnoses, Johnny! I would be willing to take those lazy good for nothing 'noses off your hands. Just let me know when you want to get them out of your hair, okay!

Nice picture Johnny! If it was the right size it would make great computer wallpaper!

You guys are going to make me get one sooner than I want to! LOL!

G'day, Bob!

Thanks for making that comparison between these two excellent knives. And they are BOTH good working knives! I don't think there's any disputing that? It's usually those subtle little nuanced differences that win me over on a particular knife. Like you, I have found the F&F Bullnose to be an exceptionally comfortable fit in my hand. And, also like you, I took my Bullnose to the Sharpmaker for a quick tune-up on the ultra fine rods. And then to my JRE Strop Bat for that finishing touch. I loved the story of your Stropman "Texas" Strop. Very cool, my broster!

P.S., I hope you'll forgive me for not replying to your most eloquently descriptive weather update yesterday? I apologize! It was a crazy good day and I've just now had the time to attempt some catch-up work. Mercifully my Cali weather has turned to fall bliss. I took a pic of the sunset night before last. I'll share it with y'all here now. Dig it...

Cheers, to everyone (especially Bob).
