Wow, I'll say eye candy, Nate, that shade of green is outstanding!
That's just about my perfect knife, Barlow pattern, single spear-point blade, EZO, it's checking all the boxes for me!
Thanks for showing that beauty!

Eye candy!
Beautiful color, looks like Jade. Nice score, I love the GECs under a different name.

Have a few 72 LBacks, and I really like them, but this one is so different, but in a good way. Love it so far. More slim than the LB. The drop point rocks. I tried and failed to get Ebony. Not paying an extra hun for it either. Micarta is good.

Update: after using it a few times here are some observations. The spring tension is fabulous. Stout, tight, solid with heavier pull. I'd say7, maybe 8. Which is how I want it. I cut a lot of cardboard and some knives are so easy close, week snap, that they will close on you when ripping long pieces of cardboard if you're not careful. This will stay open, solidly, tight, zero wobble or movement. Like a dream. The last couple patterns from them have weeker tension to the point of mushy and feels like it might accidentally close on you. Week spring or just the tension. This 72 plainsman is a pleasure to use. It scoups, slices, peels, pokes, cuts well and all. The textured or jigged micatra is even better gripping than smooth. And I love the brushed finish bolster and blade. I also like the understated dusty-look color of the micarta and the excellent feel because of jigging. 5 stars, 10 out of 10, A+ from GEC.

I would agree with your observations on the Plainsman! Glad you like yours. I'm very pleased with the one I have.

Beautiful C/C, David, I was going to ask when I previously saw it for the details, but that's not necessary now.
What a nice knife!

Nice scores GPOman, and DM11. I personally love the cherry wood and the jigging, and the Beaver shield. And the bare head. Sweet looking knives gents. Good size.
