This group is still a work in process.
Some great Research and my thanks to the tireless work done by Sue OldsWidow. Check out that index, you just may be there for days! Also her research turned up an old resource that is worth revisiting if you have not seen.
Produced by iKC Member Tobais Gibson its a good reference for collectors: http://apg2k.hegewisch.net/index.html

Welcome Jake DeBaud and thank you for joing us. Come right on in and have some fun
James,
That is an amazing article and knifemaker.
Welcome James. Glad to have you here.
We were all beginners at one time and we're all still learning.
Come join us on this journey of discovery and sharing.
We are all pleased to have you with us James
With that large Spear blade I have every reason to believe it will function much the same as an Easy Open pattern knife. Being a Lockback style of knife there is no strong spring to overcome in opening, and the lock does tend to wear-in with use making closing safe and easy. I have been using my Wharncliffe blade #72 quite a bit and I don't even use the nail nick to open the blade. It is that easy.
You will like the #72 Mini-Lockback, a good choice for Ladies and Gentlemen alike. And that is an attractive handle as well. A lot to like there.
Donnie can get that lock worked in for you. An hour in front of the television locking and unlocking the knife repeatedly and he'll have it working butter smooth. It is a precisely fitted lock that I personally admire. Strong and safe!
Dave,
I am hoping the spring wont be too tough in that new GEC 72. I never could open a 23 but this blade makes this look like it may have the feel of a larger knife without the challanges for me. I think Robert is right, it sure has the look of an classic knife pattern and I like that handle color also
My feelings exactly.
They don't come any better than Jan.
And you're sure right. Good = Good!
