this pattern is one of the original workhorses of the great eastern collection. one bladed models are slim enough for kakias & the two bladed can handle light camp & hard duty ranch chores.
 
Good lineup Dennis, especially nice ram horn jack. The rosewood is underrated as well.
 
the #73 is one of my all favourite GEC's and slippies
one of my first ones too

In my book, the 73 is one of the best all round patterns available today. Especially in single blade form-neither too big nor too small. There's not a knife in that line-up I wouldn't like to own (got a few of em myself) fine cross section. I've GOT to get hold of some Ram's Horn!
 
I realy love that Bocate I've got a Bark River PSK in Bocate and It's hands down some of the best looking handle material.
 
correct me if i'm wrong but for the real hard use , including auto grease , rosewood or ebony while not the most slip free will endure the generations.--dennis
 
Yet another nice shot. Thanks, Dennis.
