I have the following for sale.
GEC 71 in Red Linen Micarta (715118). This one was recently purchased from a fellow forum member who stated it was LNIT and I see no reason to doubt him. It has not been carried or used for cutting but it has been handled to inspect it. It has good W & T with a pull of around 6 to 7 (not a nail breaker like some from the recent run). Centering is good (see pic below) and there is no side play in the blade. The spring is flush with blade opened and closed. The knife has been given a light application of mineral oil. Comes with tube and paper.
Price - $49.00 SOLD
Northwoods Muskrat (Single Spring) in Italian Jig Bone with D2 blades. This is from the Dave Shirley era. This one was recently purchased from a fellow forum member who stated it was LNIT and I see no reason to doubt him. It has not been carried or used for serious cutting (only paper and the blades are well ground and fairly sharp) but it has been handled to inspect it. It has good W & T with a pull of around a 5 and what I call "soft" half stops. It is not a hard 90 degree stop but more of a slowing of the blade travel. I've seen this same thing in some early GEC cam tangs. Centering is good (see pic below) and there is no side play in the blades. The single spring is flush with blades opened and closed. The knife has been given a light application of mineral oil. Comes with box and chamois bag. Knife is approx. 3 7/8" with 3" blades.
Price - $59.00 SOLD
Northwoods Muskrat (Single Spring) in Green Jig Bone with D2 blades. This is from the Dave Shirley era. This one was recently purchased from a fellow forum member who stated it was LNIT and I see no reason to doubt him.
There is a small chip in one of the green bone covers at the corner of one end where it meets the liner (see pic below). The cover is very stable and it would easy to fill it in with CA, etc. There are also some scratches on the bolsters since it slid out of my hands onto the floor while I was sitting at home. It's just cosmetic and could be sanded/buffed out but is priced accordingly.
It has not been carried or used for serious cutting (only paper and the blades are well ground and fairly sharp) but it has been handled to inspect it. It has good W & T with a pull of around a 4.5 to 5 and what I call "soft" half stops. It is not a hard 90 degree stop but more of a slowing of the blade travel. I've seen this same thing in some early GEC cam tangs. Centering is good (see pic below) and there is no side play in the blades. The single spring is flush with blades opened and closed.

The first "I'll take it" followed up by rapid payment (within 30 minutes) will get the knives. I am not interested in trades at this time. Payment through PayPal, I'll cover the fees and shipping (USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box) to CONUS addresses only. I will not ship to NYC addresses. Must be at least 18 years old and in compliance with all state and local laws to purchase these knives. I reserve the right to sell to whoever I would like.
Please PM me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
