Great Eastern Cutlery Knives Action Ranked; My Top 5 Best Walk and Talk

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

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

[@KnifeThoughts]

Absolutely Paddy, thanks for watching!

[@smalls03]

I'm with you! I've moved a few highly favored pieces because of the action being poor.

[@franksalem8580]

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.

[@KnifeThoughts]

That 73 sounds like a winner Frank!

[@jimbok2492]

I agree with the 93 and 86 for sure. My ebony 44 is my top 5

[@KnifeThoughts]

Yeah my 44 is pretty good too!

[@WVKNIFEGUY]

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.

[@KnifeThoughts]

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.

[@WVKNIFEGUY]

I never thought about that.

[@SpecialEd_59]

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!

[@KnifeThoughts]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@smalls03]

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.

[@bdh3949]

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.

[@davids9549]

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.

[@Meloncholymadness]

Which is worth more, or was most expensive?

[@KnifeThoughts]

The two that werewere worth the most, the northwoods and Waynorth, are both users so I’m not sure.

[@RandysWSG]

pretty cool!

[@MrPsiman]

where are your Tuna Valley knives and SAK's ? I'm tellin Mom !!!

[@KnifeThoughts]

No tuna valley for me. SAKs do have nice action but the main value is the consistency and durability.

[@p0ssesst]

$200-500 for a pocket knife is insane.

[@G-Man01]

Awesome GECs. The only problem is getting them....

[@KnifeThoughts]

Yeah it can be tough

[@p0ssesst]

And price. $200-500 for a pocket knife is insane.

[@KnifeThoughts]

They don’t cost that much though
