All About Pocket Knives

New Northfield #73 Antique Peach Seed Bone. I've been watching this one on Knifeswappers website for a long time I finally could'nt take it anymore. This one has a serial number, it is #14 I checked out the 2009 production numbers on GEC site and it looks like, for what it's worth, they only produced 19 on these babies. Man this is going to be a tough decision as to carry this one or not ,I'll have to think on this one a day or two? Thanks again knifeswapper for great price and service.

I looked at that knife for a month wanting to buy it.
O'well, looks like I'll just pick a different one.

Beautiful knife, the pics are amazing, very nice, awesome knife.

Good luck with your choice.

Nice knife BuckEye---------does the blade lock ????

Hey Big M, I'm not Buckeye but I know the answer to your question.
It's a slipjoint, and a very beautiful one at that.

That's a beauty, Buckeye! Tough decision to make, better you than me. The 73's are my all time favorite GEC pattern, but it's a toss up over the single blade slipjoint or single blade liner lock. Come to think of it, I like the jacks and trappers too! Click the pict for a close-up look.

Awesome display G S Jack! Thanks for posting the pic

Very cool knife Buckeye

Johnny, I can see why you spent a month looking at that knife I could stare at that thing all day

No it's a slip joint big monk.Look at the picture with the white lid it has #735109 written on it, if it would have the #735109L it would have been a liner lock,these numbers are also stamped on the tang.

Gunstock you have some beauties there as always. I have four 73's now but this is my first slip joint and I have to say I like it better than my liner locks because it is a little thinner and feels better in my hand.
Sorry about that johnny hope you beat me to next nice one.That's the problem with these darn GEC's is I like and want them all.

I really like the bolster pattern on that one. It is a bit different than the usually plain smooth bolsters.

That is nice. Kind of looks like the bolsters on the Schrade Fire and Ice trappers they did.

Hey Buckeye, I'm glad one of us got to it.

P.S.
Theres a reason I stopped looking at that ONE.
