The 43 is a winner. Slim lockback style knife without a lock to fuss with. I just finished putting a fresh edge on mine.PCwizard wrote:Got this wonderful GEC 43 Oregon Trapper in the mail today. Bryan (bkazz5)and I did some trading and this is what I got.

Here's one I got a couple of weeks ago that I forgot to post! This is my second Camillus 72, and this one is in FAR better shape than the first rust bucket I found. I paid too much for this guy, but I am very pleased!

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Excellent choice Suitcase. By now you are probably finding out what a great pattern the 72 is. I don't know what you paid that was "too much" but in my world, depending on age & condition, $20-$45 including shipping is about right. JMHO

Congrats on the Bose TRiver, great looking knife. That's one pattern on my someday list. Someday when I can actually find one, if the bidding isn't too high, slow week, someday maybe.

Nice scores on those Case/Bose collabs guys!
Beautiful MOP handles on both of those.
I just put in an "I'll take it" for the Antique Bone Norfolk on the left in this pic. My 6th Case/Bose Norfolk purchase. I think I'm kind of obsessed with the pattern.

Re: Mail Call !-Post your new pick-ups here............
Wow!
You guys are showing some great knives here. Very nice. Congratulations.
Here's my humble, but well made, George Wostenholm budding knife. 3 15/16" closed.
Just that one pin in the spring.
They must have the tail end of the spring stopped in the "bone"
to keep the spring from pivoting.

Thanks but I'm all tapped out after that purchase. I did just help another AAPK member snag that Chestnut Bone Norfolk though.
