The title pretty much says it all. I've recently taken a great interest in the 23 and 73 from GEC. So, post them if you got em post your thoughts and opinions of them too please

I'm trying to convince my self I need one or both of them

23 and 73 with 42 in middle

IMHO 23 is too big for EDC,and 73 is perfect,fits pocket nicely,feels great in hand and blade does everything you need
of course you need both of them

That's my 23. It's been in my pocket every day since I got it just over 8 months ago. I had both the the 23 and 73 in hand and decided to go with the 23. It just feels better, in my opinion. It was a close call though, and I don't think you can go wrong with either. They are by far my two favorite GEC patterns. Here's a shot of my 23 with the 73 I was contemplating:

#73 in Ebony. Perfect size. :thumbup: I just wish I could find a single blade #73.

My giifted 23L (thanks Duane!). The finest locking folder I own, always close by in my daybag/daypack regardless what I EDC. :thumbup::thumbup:

I just wish I could find a single blade #73.

Me too Bob, the #73 single blade is the knife I decided to buy first, when I discovered GEC. I'm still without one.

Just announced by GEC. Coming soon to a Distributor near you.

The #73 is my favorite pattern by GEC. I think the #15 is a little better made, but the #73 with its flush tang is just so classic. I wish GEC would make a version with a clip blade.

^^^^that pic is what started my interest in the 73 and 23. That's a beautiful knife!!!

There's been great pics so far I'm lovin it!!

 

[kamagong]

Thanks. It's a bit more beat up now, broken-in and comfortable. I love it.

A more solid knife you'd be hard pressed to find! Either one is a winner!
The infamous 1 of 1 calico bone #23 and a few others from 2006, the first year of production?
