Do You 72 ???

Post by Gunstock Jack »

If you are a fan of the 72 lockback, there is good news! GEC announced this morning that they will be producing a run in a few weeks. These will be in spear and clip configuration in the usual variety of handle materials including ebony, bone, stag, and cocobolo. ::ds:: ::super_happy:: ::ds::

For dramatic effect, let me just add this gorgeous photo by Earl.

The wallet says, "No Knives For You"!!!!
So I listen, I hope they make an ugly one that will lay around until the wallet relents. :roll:

I never saw a 72 that I didn't like!

This run is Tidioute and Northfield. The elk is a Great Eastern handle material.

If you missed out on the elk 72's and have a good line, I will consider selling a pair in clip and wharncliffe. PM me if you have a sob story. :lol:

I'm leaning towards an ebony clip or cocobolo, but only if they've fixed the blade play problems of the earlier runs. Anyone know if they've improved that? ::hmm::
