The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel

GEC Knives are an Auction Highlight at the Spirit of Steel Show Nov 5, 6 & 7!!

Not sure how many of you can make the Spirit of Steel Show in Knoxville, TN coming up, November 5, 6 and 7 but it just came to my attention that there are a pair of pretty incredible Great Eastern Knives being offered at auction. The knives were donated by Great Eastern Cutlery and the procedes are going to the National Knife Museum.

You can bid onlne if you're interested by going to the Spirit of Steel Website. www.spiritofsteel.com I'd really like to see the two knives up close. When you realize how big the slabs of Mammoth Ivory are on those Sunfish, they have to be pretty dramatic. Bidding is going to be separate for each knife.

Yeah, I looked at them, it just reminds me of how bad I'd like to be there, and the fact that I can't go. :(
Have fun everyone.

John,

When you get a moment tell us about the show. Any idea what the toenails went for?

Jan, I was not there on Sunday so I am not sure what they went for. They were a wonderful set of knives. Wish I had enough extra money to put in a reasonable bid on them but afraid not. I will upload some pictures of the show when I have a little more time. I was able to add to my Ka-Bar collection. I did a little buying and a little trading. Found a 1980's Ka-Bar Club knife, coke bottle with a sweet handle. Paid only 40.00! it was the find of the show for me.
Met with Gary Kennedy, he's got a sweet collection, thanks Gary, the knives I got from you made the trip so worth it!
