GEC 72 Restoration and Modification

[dza]

Did a little tinkering and polishing on this 72.
Fixed some side to side play, threaded the bolsters, and polished the whole thing up. Pretty sweet knife!

Great job! How did you put the grooves in the bolsters?

That came out very nice, I would think
It was a new factory knife if you handed it to me! Well done.

Very very carefully lol. I do some modifications for GEC knives as a little side hustle to fund my knife habit.

Beautiful knife, Great job! Is that Rosewood or Cocobolo?
Any chance you would like to trade or sell?
