Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute #82

Description

Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute #82 Dixie Stockman, Natural Canvas Micarta (828318) Here is a working pocketknife with real American craftsmanship behind it. The #82 Dixie Stockman is Great Eastern Cutlery's take on the classic three-blade stockman. It's a pattern that has ridden in pockets across farms, ranches, and job sites for generations. GEC makes its knives in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and each one goes through roughly 200 hands-on steps. The Tidioute line is named for the small Allegheny River town that once had five cutlery factories. It's GEC's working-knife side, built to be used. The natural canvas micarta handle is the tough, grippy scale traditional users like for daily carry. It holds up to sweat, cold, and grime, and it never chips or shrinks like bone or wood can. It also looks the part, with a warm, earthy canvas texture that gets better with use. Nickel silver bolsters, brass liners and pins, and an engravable handle inlay finish it off, so you can put your initials on it and make it your own. The blades are GEC's standard 1095 high carbon steel, which takes a razor edge on a simple stone and develops a patina that tells the story of the knife. For collectors, Tidioute micarta stockmen are sought after for their fit, finish, and clean lines. For users, it's a knife that will carry for a lifetime.
