The 2017 run of GEC 78’s might have been their best ever single pattern production run. This version is my favorite among many great choices. It is hard to believe how many years can pass before patterns are produced again.
Nice Ohta! You inspired me to carry one of mine! I've got 4 of his in stag, with the bar shield. I have huge respect and admiration for Mr. Ohta. He really treated me right when I had a problem with a Small Camper, that I have owned for years.I’m still quite enamoured with this Ohta Swayback this morning.

Case Brothers might be proud of your blue boy !It kinda looks like the blades could be CV, or is that just the blue sky reflecting on your blue knife ?

Just to keep it on the up and up, I swapped today's carry.I know it’s off topic. But the two on the left are absolutely beautiful. Especially the shape of the handle on the second one in. Any chance you would post a photo open?
