That is a beauty. With the Altoids tin it looks smaller than I was thinking, I might need to try finding one.
Ebony barlows really do the trick for me. That bird is smart."A bird in the hand is worth more than about 500 in the bush"
it's a metaphor of sorts
If you stare at that hole (lanyard) too long you will go blind. Use to hear that growing up, and thought it might apply here.

BUT...
Don't think I'll EVER be able to use my 92 in Goldenrod Camel bone...
Just too dang pretty!
USE IT!! USE IT!! USE IT!!
So, carrying the 92 in micarta today...
But my EDC is the 86.
It's really the best of everything that I could ever want from a traditional pocket knife...
The shield really sends it over the moon for me, personally...
I'm sure if you get my username, you can figure out why!
That is a good shield.
Looks like you’ve been putting that one to good use.CongratsCelloDan and
EngrSorenson . My wife has been very understanding about my GEC addiction and been eager to help me score a couple here and there. I think she's as excited as me (almost) when she gets it.
Here's a couple Cocobolo in the middle to wet your appetite.
Flanked by Chestnut and Osage.

Love that Bull Buster, Mark!

Does anybody have any intel on the construction of GEC lockbacks like #72?
According to what I can see in the blade well I suppose it is the fourth variation, e.g. lock bar integral tension spring.
(I own no rights to the picture, just found an it on the net and I think it's very informative.)

Second from the bottom is the closest. Except it's all one piece. There is no separate little bit on the butt.Does anybody have any intel on the construction of GEC lockbacks like #72?

Not all GEC lockbacks are built like the 72s though. They experimented a bit.
