You can open a beer, but it ain't worth the risk!!

Use the edge of your wife/girlfriends best oak table and slap down on the bottle cap it works a treat.

Will the hoof pick work on ingrown toenails? Asking for a friend.

Yes and you get a free blood transfusion and infection for free.

I mostly carry CRKs these days but today I decided to put my #71 in the pocket. Although it is "just" Farm & Field it has to be one of the better GEC patterns for every day use; the handle is very comfortable but it is the drop point that makes this knife so usefull. It made me wonder what other GEC patterns are gifted with a drop point?

what other GEC patterns are gufted with a drop point?

Here’s one, H73216

 

[Hoffmajo89]

And the GEC 23s came with drop point blades as well. It’s a whole lotta knife though.

The 74 mustang has a beautiful drop point. It is a more refined 71.

#83 with drop point (and long pull):

Take a look at the number stamped on the tang (or, listed for the production models in any given year). The first two numbers designate the model. The third number designates the shape of the main blade. If it's a "5", it's a drop point.

Let's not leave out the venerable 73...

Interesting has the hoof pick version been done before? I'd love to see pics.

 

[Jacques Mi]

Thanks Gents!
I didn't know there are so many GEC patters with a drop point. You all posted so very purty examples I might go hunting for one or maybe just arm myself with patience and wait until a new drop

 

[Will Power]

The 73 pattern is one of the original GEC knives from their start, Drop-Point is a fantastic blade, like how it lies down low in the well of the knife. Very pleased how it was used as a replacement for the Spey on the Dixie Stockman. If only they would make a 'Dixette' version say 3.5" marvel

CK Release. These look nice.

"While doing #48’s, GEC ran a few of our good old blackwood Improved Trapper models."

I always regretted not getting an Improved Trapper during the last run. I remember the (pickle green?) sat on dealers shelves for weeks. On the “reserve” list with CK for this one.

 

[black mamba]

Man oh man, that improved trapper in blackwood is the one #48 I would just love to have. Had not heard about this new run. Prolly too late, now.

That combination of blackwood, shield, and wharncliffe was just way too good to pass up. I'm pretty excited for this one.

I'm surprised to see that GEC did an SFO for mike without the blade etch. I like!

I didn't need another of Mike's awesome improved trappers but I couldn't pass it up. That shield is just terrific.

It's been a spell since I've bought a new GEC and I'm happy I could throw some support Mike's way.

These pics from the ordering page appear to have the CK blade etch.

Ah! I missed that in the lolly-scramble, lol. I appreciate it being on the pile side.

I missed knifeswapper ’s drop today, but that Blackwood 48 is a real beauty.

I never even got a notification. Really hate that telegram, it's really hit or miss on whether I get a notification or when I do it's delayed.
