How about a "Show your GEC model 73's"

[KBA]

Trand very nice! I love the grain of that ebony. I have been keeping an eye out for a single 73 ebony but that double looks great.

BF & GEC did a great job on the 2012 Bladeforums Knife - 738212 ** (Edit - it's not a 73 it's a 74 - 748212, my bad. Still a nice knife.)

Wheww that is a stunner Sherman. Why aren't those posted more?

Hi Sherman. I have that same BF 2012 knife but mine is stamped 74. The 73's have a hump in the handle where the blades fold in.

You are absolutely correct - the 2012 BF knife is a #74. My bad. I recently took some pictures & stored them in a folder I mistakenly named 738212. I vaguely sensed something odd when I posted, but that's what i get posting right before my bedtime

A little late to the game here, but here are my two 73's, one in primitive bone and one with the herringbone jigging. I had put these away awhile back and recently dug them back out and re-fell in love with them. They were both real nail-breakers, but I worked them quite a bit and now they are quite useable.

Really nice stuff, y'all. The #73 is probably my favorite pattern:




I particularly like this one:

That's a very nice trio Bret! Do they have a name for that shield..... the one that kinda resembles a bow tie?
