Time to bring this thread back to the front page!!
I recently was fortunate to find a large source of early unused GEC knives that will be offered to me for sale. They are all from the 2006 to 2009 production range and I feel blessed to have the chance to purchase them. The current owner bought up a large variety of the early styles and materials. He offered me a chance to see/purchase 12 of what I am told is well over 200 early GEC's. So you know there will be a lot of #23's and #73's. I purchased 10 of the 12 he offered with intent keep to some but just to get some out into the GEC collectors world as well.

Had to pay market value but it is gonna be fun to get them out of deep storage and pick and choose. In the batch I bought this time there were some neat ones. Cant wait to see what else comes out of it. Anyway , here are the 23's and 73's from this batch.

The first 2 pictured are single blade 23's in horse cut walnut bone(Bronco Charlie) from 07 and red spiral buffalo horn from 08.

Going through this thread and drooling over some of these knives. But damn, the knife on the left in the first pic has to be the most beautiful GEC I've ever seen. That knife is absolutely perfect.
 
The big 23 is my favorite pattern. I carry one every day except Sunday when I carry a more civilized size S&M jack for church.

I only have 2, a UNXLD in burnt amber bone that I carry and a Tidioute in jigged micarta I bought to have a spare, it is so far unused.
Wish I’d bought a half dozen of them, just in case.

The UNXLD broke down 3 deer and 2 elk this fall aside from whatever daily tasks I ask of it.

I find the jumbo trapper to be a very useful and versatile pattern that fits my needs to a T.
