Thanks for setting me straight, Bob.Thanks Gary. It's a 77.
...
No worries my friend. I like the fact that they used the bolsters like the 2014 Forum Knife. The double threaded bolster is a classy touch.Thanks for setting me straight, Bob.I don't pay extremely close attention to the various GEC models, but the bolsters should have tipped me off on that one
(And Ron complimented you on your 77, but, in my defense, his post apparently arrived while I was busy typing mine.

Picked up a Winchester branded gunstock jack from the mid to late '70s, undoubtedly made by Olbertz in Solingen, Germany. All the same styling and build cues as the Frank Buster Fight'n Rooster knives from the same factory: i.e. proud pins, scalloped and raised covers, deep bone jigging, blunt spear nose and multi-color etching on the main blade. A very nice knife, 1 of 1000.

That's a beautiful knife, Bob! Is that the Antique Yellow Jigged Bone?

Yes, it is. Very well made knife. I think GEC's F&F is just getting better all the time. :thumbup:
