Lets talk GEC!

No. They look pretty neat, but I figured for the same money, I could buy a couple really nice vintage penknives.

 

[Wharn]

Looking good, I hope I can get one.

I'm going back and forth pretty hard on the #73. On one hand, I really like the size and pattern... But on the other, I'm not a fan of spey blades and not particularly over the moon for Bubinga.

Maybe I'll give some thought into converting the spey to a coping blade.

The rosewood looks amazing!

Good luck to all of you who are shooting for a 73. They are classics! I am going to sit this one out and stand pat with my stainless version from many moons ago.

Oooooooooo!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

 

[JOELSM]

^Those look pretty incredible….I’m a sucker for the bullet shield and I really want one!

 

[The Amazing Virginian]

Oooooooooo!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Not usually a fan of jigged bone, but this is some of the best looking stuff that I've seen in a while. I must have one. LOL.

 

[C.B.D.]

Oooooooooo!

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

I'm looking forward to this one, I really like my 23 Bullet Trapper but it just a little heavy and large for everyday use. This Remington Trapper should be a great all around everyday knife.

Not marked Remington, but there's no mistake about who instituted this 73 pattern into the American Lexicon!! Flush and square joints a la Sheffield and a perfectly sized knife for our North American pockets! This one from 2007, has Primitive bone handles from the scrap heap!! Full of Character!!

 

[EngrSorenson]

waynorth , happy to see you back!

it’s amazing what GEC can do with scraps, huh?

[Wharn]

Wow I love it. It sure will look nice next to one of my 870s or 700.

Same person has 2 for sale currently. Started the listing earlier today. Curiously, the tube tops have what appear to be a handwritten asterik "*" and on the other tube a circle "o". I don't know what the symbols mean. I am new to GEC collecting. I'm just hoping / trying to not miss the day of frenzy.

Day of frenzy? More like ten minutes of frenzy. Maybe.

Ten minutes is gracious.
