Description
The Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute #74 Mustang is a traditional design pocket knife and it is just waiting to occupy your pocket. It is a medium-sized pocket knife featuring a single 1095 carbon steel blade, Arizona Ironwood handle scales and a nickel silver bolster. Many consider the size of the Mustang to be "just right" as it is large enough to handle tasks such as cutting large rope yet small enough to easily carry and do finer cutting tasks. It makes a great general purpose, gentleman's fine pocket knife. Made with pride in Titusville, PA. We are an authorized Great Eastern Cutlery Dealer and purchased this new knife direct from them.
The Blade(s):
The #74 Mustang features a 1095 steel, drop point blade allowing the knife to be quite versatile whether using it for piercing, slicing or utility purposes. The blade has a cutting edge of 2.75" and a nail nick for opening. The blade has a satin finish. A "Mustang" with the words "NORTHFIELD UN-X-LD" are etched on the blade. When deployed, the blade has a pronounced half stop and once past the half stop, it snaps solidly into the fully deployed position.
The Handle Construction:
The handle size allows for a solid four finger hold for most people. The handle scales are Arizona Ironwood and the attaching pins and liners are brass. The three groove, bolster and inlay shield are brushed nickel silver giving the knife a classy look. The handle scale edges are rounded and flush with the outside perimeter making the knife pleasant to hold. The fit and finish are excellent and the blade action is crisp when opening and closing.
This knife has a higher price as no more are available through GEC and it was purchased at a higher cost from an authorized distributor.
