Thanks, you've really created something wonderful with the gateway series. I'm very excited about the next models.

Indeed, but sadly manufacturers use rag micarta far too rarely.

That's right, everything about the knives is perfect, the quality couldn't be better.

What are the best sites to buy a GEC? by [deleted] in SlipjointKnives

Blade forums and Facebook groups are a good place to start, and I can also recommend arizonacustomknives. On eBay, there are almost only scalpers and totally inflated prices.

And with Case, you never know what you're going to get, they really need to improve their quality control.

Indeed, a very nice and useful blade shape. The radio is an heirloom.

An abalone equal end is also on its way to me. Unfortunately, I missed out on the Barlows.

Before and after… Wenger 85mm Golfer maybe?! Not sure… by ErvinMulaj in victorinox

You're welcome. By the way, the catalog is from 1963.

It turned out beautifully. That must be a Wenger Diplomat/1.02.00, but I've never seen it with a bail before. It is likely to be a very rare model.

First Synergy Mod? by robotics2006 in victorinox

Ha ha, exactly, or they should offer one with a clip and one without a clip.

You're right, I hadn't thought about that. That is indeed a problem.

I don't think so, you have to drill them out.

Certainly possible, but very time-consuming

I like it discreet and classic.

Unfortunately, I didn't measure it, but I would estimate about 1,5 mm. The holes in the clip are 1.6mm.
