Richstag,

They are really very beautiful!!
You have more images of that with the patina blade? Not the scagel like.

Thanks

Thanks! I have 100's of that knife but I would need to dig so far back

Here is one I found

Stayin' with the modified Tidioute #48 Bocote.

 

[richstag]

Thanks guys, and very nice one Christian, I always enjoy seeing it.

I have said it for a while the 73 is GEC's best overall pattern IMHO. The drop point blade is ground perfectly for its size and is my favorite type profile for a one bladed knife

I agree on the shape of their drop point. It has a much more gradual belly than their regular clip, and a lower, less "peaked" top line as well, making it more pocket friendly.

Is there already a stag only single blade 73 thread? If so, I want to pack up my things and move in there.

 

[black mamba]

I'll toss my linerlock in the mix, as well.

 

[Will Power]

Good stag on that one Jeff.

I favour the linerlock a lot, it's safe as they have a tough slipjoint backspring already. Got a stag one of these and a bone they called stagbone, GEC's only faux stag I believe.

Thanks, Will

 

[black mamba]

Will, they called it burnt carved stag bone, and it had the natural to burnt color, very realistic looking, 2008 I believe.
They have also done several colored stag bones: I have brimstone, pumpkin, green and blue, but these do not imitate real stag like yours does.

I took my wife to Shreveport today for a bone marrow biopsy; we all know what the doctors are looking for with that. Please remember her in your prayers. I decided that I would carry my Olive bone Texas jack today. It's one of the nicest Case knives I own.

[Will Power]

I've got that knife too Ed.

Will be thinking about you and your wife.

Regards, Will
