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

Hey Brett, I for one am glad you revived this thread. I just received my first #73 (early Fathers' Day gift from #1 son) and have fallen in love with the pattern. I posted these pics in another thread on the 73 but what the heck, I am so pleased with this knife I'm posting them again :D


 
Ken - That is a beauty right there! Your son did well :thumbup:
 
Cannot tell you how many times I have tried to 'fold' this beauty :grumpy:

No sir, it's from 2009. The scales are smooth white bone, and I'm sorry Ryan, but I can't remember what the name of the shield is. I think I remember it being called a bomber shield but I could be wrong. The liner lock is tighter than the others I have but probably because it hasn't been worked as much. I rarely get this one out.

I wish they would do another run of this in the all steel version. Maybe one day they will.
 
Brett, I've seen that one called a corset shield, probably other names as well. Looks like a lady's swimsuit to me.
 
Jeff, I appreciate that! I actually forgot that you answered the same question a couple pages back. :)
 
Great #73 Mark, but I really like the lil caplifter beside it, I assume a rehandle? Like the bolsters on it also brother. Hope you had a good birthday;):thumbup:
