Pics and thoughts on the GEC 42 if you please!

Both of my 72's have rapping and slight play in all directions. The play is no big deal to me, but I sent back one because the rapping was so severe. The other one I am going to try to sharpen out (again) and just try to be more careful. It's disappointing, but I love the pattern too much to abandon it.
 
You asked for pics, so here are some that I recently posted elsewhere. The #42 is a great knife and I love mine, but it depends on how you plan to carry it. I like carrying my knives horizontally in my back pocket and the #42 won't let you do that. However, it's slim enough that you can easily carry it in your front pocket without a problem.

Sent these two back to GEC to have the excessive vertical blade play corrected. They did a quick and professional repair of both knives. Returned in 12 days. Rock solid lockup. In my experience, they are second only to Case in warranty service (and only because Case reimbursed my return shipping expenses).
