I like the look of this thick stag, but find that I dont prefer it for use. I would like to trade this extremely well made, well matched example for your example in similar condition but with thinner stag covers. I have carried and used it a couple times, and there is a slight natural patina at the tip (see pictures), but otherwise it is in great shape with a centered blade, good pull and snap (~7), and no gaps that I can see.
Im really looking for what Ive described, but I'm open to other offers. Especially:
GEC 82 dixie stock knife
GEC 68 cattle knife
GEC made barlows (users fine)
GEC Stainless knives
Spyderco Manix 2 XL
Spyderco Manix 2 LW s110
Benchmade 707 Sequel
Benchmade 485 Valet
Zero Tolerance 0770 cf
etc.
I also have this GEC #79 in Smooth Ivory Bone:
I bought this at the GEC showroom. It's a great knife, but it was a pretty spur of the moment purchase. It has a slight patina on the backspring, probably from being inpected, but otherwise is in pristine shape. Good snappy springs, no wobble, no rubbing I can see, no gaps I can see. Edge has a very slight ding, but since it has not been sharpened yet that would come out with the first sharpening. I'll also throw in the pictured vintage imperial for free.
Thanks for looking. Only trade if legal. Feel free to ask questions.
