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!

Well I don't know about that Dave.  I got me a Cajun and a Desert Hermit.  I feel like I am in the best company around.
