GEC 42 Missouri Trapper/Trader
Re: GEC 42 Missouri Trapper/Trader
Thanks! You gotta get you one, the two blades are a bear to open but the lockbacks are smooth! Better yet just get two, they are better in pairs.

I might have to get one then, do they have half stops? I wish my #72's springs were stronger and had half stops.

Re: GEC 42 Missouri Trapper/Trader
The single blade lockbacks don't but the double bladed do. They have quite a hefty spring on them, it's such a difference between single and double blade. The difference in springs is night and day.

Wow Barry The 42 is my favorite pattern and Elk is even better
Re: GEC 42 Missouri Trapper/Trader
I thought I'd kick this back up and show some 42's. The latest one's in stainless and the wood's just keep me coming back for more!
If I'm not mistaken I think this is the first time acrylic has been used on a lockback.

What a gorgeous group of #42's Bob!!
It was really nice to see GEC do the #42 in Stainless as well as the Tidioute and Northfield on this last run.
As far as GEC Lock-Back's in Acrylic.....I think there were some #65L's run in Acrylic last year.
Sweet set of knives you have there, looks like there are some Proto's in that pile, happy to see you post....

Thank's guys, it's still a work in progress. Trevor I'd forgot about the 65's in acrylic and Monk I don't recall seeing that 72, must have slipped by me...

Re: GEC 42 Missouri Trapper/Trader
The #42 Trader has really piqued my interest lately. It has all the characteristics that I really like.
Been chewing on getting one in either stag or the Green jigged bone.
Bob ..... that is an awesome collection.
..... and after seeing Trevor's group of Elk in another thread, I would probably consider doing something obscene in the town square to have one of them. They are simply stunning!

Looks like we will be seeing a new blade etch on the GEC SS #42's. It's the 'GEC Practical Knives' banner like on the new hats and t-shirts. Pretty cool.
