Gec #71 bullnose, Fantastic edc/work knife.

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Sorry knife is 6 7/8 ins long.

[@richterknives]

The 71 is awesome. The more you use it and the more character and patina that it puts on, the better it looks. I have a Case Sodbuster and it doesn’t compare to the GEC. It’s on a different stratosphere. Love the video

[@name5949]

Fantastic little knife really like the look of it thanks for sharing it with us paddy👍

[@beaurex4756]

A very nice practical knife. Thanks for sharing.

[@rickkerans8485]

What a great looking knife. Sure doesn't look green. Looks more brown . I have been trying to find a black one to go with my Bullbuster. I would either put it in the sheath with Bullbuster or let it go in a slip. Have a great time with that wonderful knife.

[@WilliamsKnifeLife]

That model is my first GEC & it was given to me by a subscriber of mine. It came to me used, & that really helped me to use it also, & not make it a safe queen. Great work knives.

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Yes William its just a flaming good knife I agree.atb paddy

[@mynamesjustbill1583]

This post was just what I wanted to see. I love more than anything when someone actually uses a quality knife, lets it naturally patina, and has the guts to show the collector community that they’re doing it! Kick Ass buddy!

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Why thank you sir,I have a beautiful custom slipjoint coming and I just can't wait to use it to.lol.atb paddy

[@holtonbower5626]

Beautiful knife ! Im sorry I haven’t watched your videos in a while it’s been a crappy year lol but your videos help keep up the Great work

GEC 1095 takes an edge that is terrifying! Their geometry lends itself to a screamingly sharp edge!

[@mattwuttke]

I just got a eye brand sod buster I love it. Sod busters are a very underrated knife.

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

I'm learning that now.lol.atb paddy

[@bert2530]

I have this same Bullnose, and you’re right, it’s a good tool. Don’t get the Case sodbuster, mine is horrible.

[@davids9549]

We all have to have one of these Paddy - mines a 2018 in the Natural Micarta - it's the sodbuster to sod all sodbusters imho. An interesting comparison can be made with the even-slicier humble Opinel No 6, which has the same cutting edge length. I do like the way it looks with your lanyard. I shall copy!

[@johnburns748]

If you like the #71 in micarta you'd love the #74 in black plum jigged bone, I have both, excellent knives, the #21 is a substantially bigger version of the #71, enjoy.

[@JustGorilla]

I have a Case Sodbuster Jr ($29) and a Bullnose that I paid way too much for on eBay ($150). Was it worth the extra $120? Maybe. The Bullnose is a great knife. It’s amazing to see the difference in quality from two factories that are only 90 minutes drive from each other.

[@broken1394]

What a peach. Glad you'll be carrying and enjoying this in your Rotation. Cheers Paddy.

[@pickin4you]

I have owned a case sold buster for about 40 years. Ir is an awesome knife, and for me, I would never pay more than $30 for a new one of any brand, and the case has a stainless blade. 40 years now and it still looks like a new knife.

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Thats a great lesson for anyone,never had the case but I can see this one in my box.lol.atb paddy

[@paulh9439]

For a knife enthusiast who is not particularly into traditionals this is by far my favourite GEC that I've seen, the only down side for me is the etched blade. Nice one Paddy♥️🔪

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

I would say you won't see the etch in a month.lol.atb paddy

[@jeroenvoss6231]

Allways carry a sodbuster myself as a workknife alongside other models. It's good to have a knife you can allways rely on and don't have to worry about if it stays shiny and without markings. Then again it is a nice knife.

[@jackslapp9073]

Yep. I never knew how much I would like the sod buster pattern until I had one. I had always used clip point lockbacks, although I carried an Imperial double eagle Puma for years. They changed the name to Wildcat skinner. But after it was confiscated and I couldn't find another one, I went through several smaller knives until I came across the sod buster in a hardware store. I carry four knives. One is for eating, a barlow, or a #6 opinel, in a small belt sheath. The other three are a large sod buster pattern liner lock in my back pocket, a bow trapper with a clip point and the spey blade in a front pocket, and a small lockblade with a spear point blade and a pocket clip.

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Well geared up fella.good on you.atb paddy

[@KnifeDetector]

That is a beautiful knife!! It reminds me so much of the Case Sodbuster.

[@paddyspotatopeelers2154]

Yes I don't feel like I need a case now.thanks for watching.atb paddy.

[@majorpain1251]

My #71 is easily my most "used" GEC. It is a great work knife. Use it, strop it, a little mineral oil and start over.

[@gizmocarr3093]

I always wondered why you never see anyone use hot boiling apple vinegar to patina pocket knives when you see how easy it is to do. You can also use regular old mustard and a brush, Q-Tip, or just a toothpick to draw patterns on the blade. If you use any carbon blade knife it is going discolor anyway; so why not make it look like what you want it to look like. All you need to do is degrease the blade and add mustard or use hot vinegar. Mustard takes about 24-hours and using vinegar takes 20 minutes to make the blade a light gray. If you do it a few times it gets darker every time you repeat the process. Then all you need to do is wash it with hot water and baking soda to neutralize the vinegar or mustard. Oil it up and you are done; the finished patina also protects the blade from rusting better too. It’s not rocket science anyone can do it. I saw my Granny do it to her favorite little paring knife when I was little.

Very nice knife I have a couple of RR very similar in shape perfect for edc Hope the wife is feeling better and you are ok ATB Dave

[@dsknives310]

Really liked that yellow AG Russell👍🏻. This bullnose reminds me of the Manly Wasp too. Just a no BS type of work knife. I like to hv a good variety as my moods change😬 lol. I think that Hinderer is so well versed it’s definitely one of my favorites. Cheers Paddy☘️.👊🏼

Warra beaut! Love sodbusters. I've been waiting for the marbles version to come in stock just to have one in white bone. I have a case in bone but it's too nice to abuse.

[@chrisosh9574]

What a great knife, that blade shape is my favourite for a work knife. The Maserin covers are bull horn.

Hey Paddy, These days I carry my 940. You can’t have a better EDC.

[@swe_nurse8121]

Near perfect knife, use mine in orange delrin quite a lot. The only drawback is the blade rap due to the strong backspring. Just be careful closing it, a couple of sharpenings later it was fine.

[@slick_slicers]

Tha Case Sodbuster Jr comes in both SS or CV and in delrin or bone. They’re great knives, but I’m pretty sure they only beat the GEC on price, nothing else. The delrin Case knives (ss or cv) are only about £35.
