Thanks Dan, do appreciate it! Cash is tight for the moment- got a French knife being made and got to spend money on some wedding gift...
(cash earmarked for knives but they're getting steak knives so..)Actually, I was thinking along the lines of a #14 with a drop point. That would make it sort of a #74 in miniature.
+1 i think we need more stockmans and id be very happy fora production lambsfoot with a huge run because we all know those would be impossible to get and flipped to high heaven with how desirable those are.
I've been quite disappointed in GECs stockman selection and it's my favorite pattern. I feel Case still owns the medium stockman market.
Blue or purple jigged bone may indeed cause me to pay secondary market prices.
I agree with you on the gec stockmans . And I agree, case makes a great medium stockman
The 35 cattle knife I felt was really well made. The covers weren’t anything special, but the action and fit and finish was great.
The 35 Cattle Knife is actually the only 3 blade GEC I own!! It is a VERY nice knife.The 35 cattle knife I felt was really well made. The covers weren’t anything special, but the action and for and finish was great.
I picked up this beastly 53 stockman last week for a steal. Well broken in for me already too.

Solid pull, nice snappy walk and talk, all steel liners and bolsters, it’s a workhorse for sure. Tough one to beat.
That was the deal of the week on the big auction site. I was watching and forgot all about it…congrats!The 35 cattle knife I felt was really well made. The covers weren’t anything special, but the action and for and finish was great.

Hopefully not another 4 years!
I’ve done that too many times. I decided to throw a low bid on it just in case and it won.
one of the better GEC deals I’ve scored in a while.
Yep !!!! You need a 72 Jack . I am happy to have the 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , and 77 . I still need a 76 and 79 . That probably won't happen though unless I use some 77's for trade bait .thats not a bad idea! maybe a gap filler since I got a 71,73,74
Wow, never seen a left handed traditional! Especially from GEC. What's the year of manufacture?
Yeah kinda murky on production numbers as the cap for this isn’t actually listed. Cap reads. 735109ECLHL and is in Rosewood
As a lefty myself, even knowing I'll likely never end up with one its cool to know GEC actually made this and it wasn't a mod of some sorts. Very cool!!
