I agree, Panta. Goruck really hit this one out of the park. Waxed canvas version of the GR1!! Oh man, I couldn't imagine that until I saw it. What an awesome idea!! This one will age well.
Waxed canvas is a very interesting fabric. Dark canvas tends to lighten and light canvas tends to darken over time. That's one of the reasons why I like them, the significant aging and character-building over time.
Just bought one now from watching your review, luckily they still had a few tans left. I feel like this bag would be an all around EDC especially in the summer! Can wait for it to come in!!! Weeeeee! How’s the bag looking after a few months… noticed the colour changing?
“Buy once, cry once” good point lol definitely looks beautiful
Yup! Thanks.
The waxed canvas looks so beautiful and rugged! It makes me want to pack it and go out! Thanks for sharing

FANTASTIC looking pack. Cannot wait to see it with some patina from usage. Keep posting 👍
Thanks. The Heritage is really something special.
“I shouldn’t buy another one, but i did”, story of my life mate 😂
Story of OUR life.
Interested to see the wear on the Heritage a year on J Ko. I have one that I've used for 6 months or so and it's growing a beautiful patina.
Will do! Noted.
So happy for you, I already have the GR1 21L & 26L, and I am trying to find an excuse to get the heritage one 😭
The excuse is: The earlier you buy the Heritage, the earlier you can start that aging process, the sooner it will look well-worn.
Opening with a CRK Sebenza. Nice! Thanks for the vid.
Thanks. CRK's the best quality EDC knife I have.
I bought the GR1 Heritage Olive and finally sold it. The colour fades to white very fast and needs to be waxed again. 1000d cordura the best material.

@@joekkl so this color might darken?

No color change yet. Congrats with your new bag!
Damn, now I’m looking at the bullet 15L lol what did I get myself into lol
I've heard the field tan shows the items inside the front pocket because it's so thin. Have you encountered this?
It’s the waxing process which is responsible for that from what I’ve heard.
I have the waxed canvas GR2 and it’s not an issue at all day to day
@@reniersoto6257 which color do you have the bag in?
@@anthonium. I got the field tan. Loving it so far.
The answer is YES! But, it's barely noticeable. Over time, when it patina more, it will be less noticeable.
Is the heritage too heavy for edc?
How’s the leather bottom holding up? Worried it might scratch up badly during daily use.
Holding up really well. Unless you drag it through the concrete floor day in day out, it's gonna be fine.
Aren't other non-heritage GR1s made of canvas as well?
The regular GR1 is made out of 1000d cordura. The Heritage is made out of the waxed canvas.
Yeah and the 1000d messes up your clothing because the material is so rugged
@@retrovelcro To suits, maybe. My regular GR1 never ruined my clothings in my experiences.
is it looks a little green?
Not that I'm aware of. It's a Tan one. :)
