The GSO stikes me as 'simplicity at its best'
And the somewhat coarse Micarta makes for a great grip.
Anyway, the different opinions on the knife, just goes to show, that people want/need/appreciate etc. different things in knives.
Personally, I adapt easily to the knife I have in hand, and usually it is the grind, which make all the difference in perceived performance.
Yeah- I like the "simplicity" idea a lot on it. The grind is a great one for me.
Great review! I'm glad to know the GSO performed well, I still wanna try a 7/7 when they come back...and a Winkler. I have a HRLM and I love it. What kind of drills are you doing with the Winkler?
MM
I'm still tempted by a 7/7 or ESEE 6.
Believe me, nothing crazy in terms of drills. 2-3 x a week I do a mellow shadow boxing type routine where I throw 200-300 strikes/knees/kicks to make me feel like I can still do something. Then I get my condor combat machete, SOG Fast Hawk, RMJ Hawk and the Winkler for some practice slashing/stabbing/blocking/thrusting. Helps keep me limber I think...
