Bringing back the GEC two bladed #79 Montana Workhorse with nice Bark Ivory scales.

The knife has a small scratch on the back side of the main blade that came from GEC that way, looks like it struck the corner of the smaller coping blade's shoulder at one point. Also the coping blade has some rub marks from the side of the liners, in both cases, it's not a big issue that I could see when I picked this up while visiting there.

Walk and talk is great on both blades, I have sharpened both blades to a very nice razor's edge but as things happen I always buy too much :( and so this one is back on the docket again. I'll include a nice slip sheath with the knife. Includes the GEC tube, it's also Serial # 5 for those that keep track of such things.

Here are some images to entice;
edited to say, all of these photos are taken after I had sharpened the blades, so the edges you see are the razor edges I put on there, well done if I may say so ;)

In this photo you can just see that scratch on the main blade just up from the last pin in the scale.

Gary, are those brown canvas micarta covers? Also, did you sharpen the knife?
BTW, referring to #79.
Thanks
 
The second #79 as the ivory is also a #79 ;) and yes, it is brown canvas micarta and I did sharpen the blades, as they most certainly needed it, but now, all three are hair shaving sharp and the photos above were taken after it was sharpened so what you see is how they'd be :)
Thanks for checking,

Welcome back the GEC #79 two bladed Montana Workhorse with Bark Ivory scales...

Question was asked about the visible lines in the ivory, those are character marks common to the bark portion of the ivory tusk, they are not cracks from the pinning process, been there since it was picked up from GEC a few weeks back. ;)
