I had a nice collection of GECs and some were highly desirable rarities in some of my favorite covers. But, my favorite was always a stag 73. Unfortunately I sold them all including the 73. I recently lucked out in acquiring a pair of 74 Mustangs. One a stag (yippee!) and a Black Plum which is a pleasant surprise.

Mighty fine single blades Alan! Stag is a thing of beauty and the 73/74 combo is real easy on the eyes. My favorite single blade GEC is the 65 pattern. I’m drawn to the slim, generous length and I’ve always been a clip blade fan. The Snakewood isn’t real pronounced, but it’s still a keeper.

Thank you David, I appreciate it. It's much easier photographing knives than some other subjects. They just lay there and don't complain. Lol!

Here’s a recent addition that’s an instant favorite. 72 Lockback from 2010 in Dark Red Jig Bone. One of three made.

I feel this entire thread could be replicated in the Knife Photography thread. All you guys have flattering photos of knives that deserve to be flattered. Beautiful images. Congratulations to all you talented fellows.
