Great sounds and to be honest the acoustics of a knife is really important as to weather a knife stays or goes in my collection.thanks for sharing pal.atb paddy
Definitely could have been. My 44 and 78 both have great action. I do think I enjoy the action on single blades more because the secondaries aren't in the way.
Wow! What an impressive handful of knives!. They were all stunners but that final knife --before the TC Barlow-- Really works for me. Thanks so much for sharing!
It's hardly a Beethoven symphony is it? But hey, this is fun. Made me get out my 93 Ramfoot and yes, the action is great. Not top of my F&F likes/dislikes, but a good walk&talk is a lovely thing. My favourites fwiw are my 78s - there's a rare subtlety to the action as well as ticking all the other boxes.
My all time favorite of the 39 GEC knives that I own is the GEC 735115 Tidioute, Scout, Black Box Brown, Jigged Bone (Rare; 1 of 68) without the liner lock. It is perhaps the thinnest GEC ever made and has excellent walk and talk. I agree with you on the No. 86 and No.15. I wish I had the No.93.
Interesting topic for comparisons. My first and favorite GEC blade selection, carry and action is the #14 Lick Creek Boy's Knife. This was my first GEC so I'm a bit biased about it but having used it for some time I compare other actions to it.

Absolutely Paddy, thanks for watching!
I'm with you! I've moved a few highly favored pieces because of the action being poor.
I agree with the 93 and 86 for sure. My ebony 44 is my top 5
Yeah my 44 is pretty good too!
86 has always been at the top of the list for me. And as far as a cam tang goes, my buckaroo is an all time favorite.
Awesome video. I'm surprised there wasn't a 44 or a 78 on the list. Just off the top of my head, those 2 are probably the best of my collection.

I never thought about that.

That 73 sounds like a winner Frank!

pretty cool!
$200-500 for a pocket knife is insane.
Which is worth more, or was most expensive?
The two that werewere worth the most, the northwoods and Waynorth, are both users so I’m not sure.
where are your Tuna Valley knives and SAK's ? I'm tellin Mom !!!
No tuna valley for me. SAKs do have nice action but the main value is the consistency and durability.
Awesome GECs. The only problem is getting them....
Yeah it can be tough
And price. $200-500 for a pocket knife is insane.
They don’t cost that much though
