Great Eastern Knives - opinions please

[Corso]

Seems my knife collection is heading more and more towards sub 3" EDC's

I've got a Morris friction folder (soon to be joined by another0 a couple of SAK's and a quietly growing collection of sodbusters, during my hunt for a Queens I stumbled apron Great Eastern Knives and fell in love with a Great Eastern Scout Trapper.

I'm not very knowledgeable about this company and was wondering about peoples opinions, mainly about quality of finish, strength of the back spring and whether they are prone to the dreaded blade wobble

pics of your examples would also be a bonus

Check out TSA knives,nice chap to deal with I have a Tideoute frontier bone handle ,1095 steel ,single blade( its my cowboy pen knife )very sharp though you need to take your vitamins as its a nail breaker.Or buy one of their blade openers.I bought it from him before the exchange rate went tits up and put a stop to me buying overseas. It Reminds me of my school boy pocket knives but better built.
There are some bargains at the moment in the TSA EDC section. the only caveat would some blade sizes are a hair over 3 inches.Get your wallet out!!!

I have (and have had a few). I like them a lot. I have a Scout and kind of trapper which I think they called a Pioneer - both in bone. There was a Barlow and an even ender stockman which they called a cigar, and there was a stag harness jack

I sold the last three and am lifelong committed to the first two.

Their current Yellow Rose hawbaker pattern muskrat, holds my most ardent attentions at the moment - the search for a good harness jack continues
