Scored this GEC 72 from a member here. Love the green bone. I see myself carrying this one because it's slim and light being a single blade. The color and jigging remind me of a big green Florida alligator I killed and had made into a pair of boots. A comfort knife for sure.

Very nice, Rick, that's a beauty! ::tu:: I'm a single blade guy so this baby is up my alley, had it had a spear-point blade, I'd be all over it. You might want to also post it in "Comfort Knives". ::hmm:: ::shrug::

Thanks Marco I figured you would like this one. Super thin, single blade, light weight. I carried it today. No need for a belt pouch unlike the 86 with 2 blades thick and heavy. I may look for more 72s.

That’s a beauty Rick. Glad you like it. Wasn’t easy letting that one go. Green is my favorite color and that one just looks beautiful in green.

Wow, "Stout" is an under statement, Dog, it looks absolutely vicious! Is it a Demko build by any chance? ::shrug::

WOW! J1890, your scores are so refreshing. Love these older knives.
Did they all come from the same place?

Thanks Tree.
No, they came from different people. I traded for one, bought the others.
It was fun tracking them down. A couple were just the right time and place.

J1890 those are four really nice looking old knives. Just something about the looks of these that appeals.

Chickenman, that is a sweet looking Congress. I collect Congresses too and love this pattern. Some very fine scales on that one.
