I think you have to be a paying member to upload photos.

 

Not accurate.

Use the Imgur app to create a jpg file and the image button above.

 

Fair enough, you can post photos without a 3rd party app if youre a full time member.

 

Really? I need to find out how to do that. Thank you.

 

If youre on a computer next to "post reply" theres "upload a file". Once you choose a file it will give you the option of just leaving a thumbnail of hte image in your post, or to post the full picture.

 

Yeah just did it in another thread. Learned something new today.

 

Im here to help!

 

Well, I'd say it's improved. Through an exhaustive 2 bottle test, lol, the BF85 2011 took three tries to pop off the lid of a Triple Cola; whereas the 2021 85 took only 1 attempt and felt noticeably more solid and sure. I'd say it's improved. What a difference a decade makes

 

Science! Well done.

 

I believe once upon a time i had a beer scout and attempted to use the cap lifter for bottle opening. It was way too thin to provide much usable leverage for a smooth open.

 

Secondary confirmation.

 

The fit and finish on mine is spot on. The pull a high 5 low 6 (needs flushed bad). The pull on the cap lifter is a 7. An excellent example of a GEC knife.

 

Here’s mine!!

 

I ended up landing a canvas and it showed up today. This thig is outta control cool. I will shoot some pics tomorrow. Walk n talk, pulls, snapppppppppppy....fit and finish to die for. What a great pattern! Bravo GEC!

 

As you folks begin popping tubes and coon-fingering and chicken-eyeing, could you pay special attention to blade rap? I know that the 85s have often been subject to blade rap, and I'm curious to see if GEC spent some extra attention to preventing that in this run.

 

None present on mine.

 

Well done EO notch, looks good.

 

Excellent work! That EO notch looks factory. I’m loving the long pull on these.

 

This is some great micarta!

 

Started mind last nite. Sems to be working just fine. Opennd guite a few.
