Naww Gino, I wasn't sure what model it was, I thought you had originally said #73, but I wasn't sure. ::handshake::
It's hard for me to tell the difference until I see a pattern number. ::nod::

It's really, really difficult to tell a 23 from a 73 when looking at a photo. GEC scales everything up on the 23, including the shield and laynard. Prob'ly use larger pins as well.

I rotate a few around but these 3 have been used the most since I've gotten them. The #33 has been my everyday knife since I got it at the beginning of October. It had replaced a #66 Jack. The #48 Jack has been in my pocket the most while at home. And the #73 is the one when I need to do some serious cuttin'

That line up is SWEET 2Dead! Some pretty nice GEC walkin around, COOL!! ::nod::

These belt sheaths from TSA are the best I have owned. Went on a short scout the
other day and decided to take only this #23. The first hour was on some pretty steep
ground, so I had my wife braid some string for a quick tether.

The one getting all the time is the Bull Nose #71.
It's been a lot of fun, even though it differers from the norm of stag, bone and wood. I think that Delrin is a pretty nice material. ::tu::

Slight update... I've been using my #71 instead of a #73 since I got it and switched out my ebony conductor to one with elk covers. Still using the same #48.

Vikingdog - what model is the white bone wharnie? I can't place it. Great looking knife, I am going to have to see if there are any more of those out there.

Thanks,

Yes!

I like 73/72's for my extended fly-fishing/camping/backpacking knives. I like the single-blade 48's for my backyard/day-hikes/outdoor food knives. A White Owl has recently replaced my usual 3 1/2" office, urban, custom knife. There is at least one more White Owl in my future.

This is my EDC GEC that Gino gave me.
GEC BF ez open jack b from Gino with use.jpg
I carry it everyday, except today I had to switch to my Canal Street AAPK pinch lock because I shut my thumb in the door of my Expedition. ::dang::
The spring on the GEC is so stiff that it hurts my thumb to open it, so I switched to the Canal Street because it has a much lighter spring in it.

I will switch back to the GEC as soon as my thumb quits hurting so bad. ::facepalm::
