All About Pocket Knives

There was a recent discussion about the difficulty in finding current GECs, that is, the actual GEC manufacture. So, tho I've shown this Great Eastern before I thought to show it again. It is a very early model, perhaps from the first year of operation. The scales are a vivid red but photograph as more orange tho I tried different lights.

Is this a #23 ?

kj, Although it looks similar to the # 23 it isn't. This knife is 3 3/4" in length and has a single blade. Don't know a pattern number for it but the serial number is 735108.

It's the #73 pattern. The #23 is the 'same' but 4 1/2". I prefer the smaller #73. It seems just the right size. Yours was made in 2008. The handles look like what GEC called "Red Stag", much sought after by GEC collectors.

kj, thanks very much for the input. I do like it very much. I have only a few GECs, of all labels, but this is my favorite.
