Well Dylan, this is my 2007 #73 ruby red.
My oldest GEC and I wish you the same luck, as it’s as good as it gets at any level

Thank you, my friend. The one that I have coming is also a #73 like yours but it has a 2006 tang stamp - the only reason I thought it would be a 2007 make is that when I looked at the production totals for 2006, there were none that were made in the cover material that mine has.

I'll have more info when I get it in hand though so I don't want to speculate too much.

I just don’t know how you people do it, with those shiny new knives from years ago! :confused::D

The oldest unused knife in my possession now is a Viper I got way back in early January... and that’s only because I got multiple of them and haven’t gotten around to that one yet! :thumbsup:

I have carried the 53 on several occasions. It just hasn't been call to duty on food as of yet and so it is just drawing a slower patina. It will get there one day though, it is a special knife with a private story that is important to me.
 
This GEC-made Schrade Fire & Ice Trapper was made in 2007. I no longer own this exact knife — it was a giveaway prize a couple years ago — but I do have another just like it, and it’s my oldest GEC.

Great one Barrett! Photo, pipe and knife!
Is that a 23 or 73 size?
I didn’t realize those were made so early on thanks for the info. I have one of the bigger ones I think. I’ll have to dig around for it. :thumbsup:

Thanks, Mark. It’s the #23-size.

I don’t know why, but given some of your other acquisitions I’m a little surprised. Utilitarian, sure, but doesn’t have the finesse of some of your others. Happy you like it though!

I liked the beer and sausage when I had one but didn't have a use for the comb. Was wanting another 35 and decided on a calf pen. I do love the little knives tho, you got me there
