Yes Johnny, there to big for me, but I'm sure alot people want them as collectables. It's a great knife and should get the big knife crowd excited. I'm still waiting for the "Missouri" pattern.

Not for me Robert, I'll be getting a #36 one of these days, but not a Roughneck.

I was wondering what the boss, Scott King, thinks about all these large pattern knives by GEC? I know he is a large pattern knife collector and these should fit the bill. Well, what do you think, I think they are great knives that should make collectables, now and down the road.

Wow, so quiet in here.  You could here a knife drop (and everyone rush to see if its ok)

Great Eastern makes many knives for other brands.  I have always admired the cotton sampler pattern and recently was able to pick up the Krack a Jack's line made by GEC.

Yes, we have quite a few Roughnecks here in Louisiana too, most are young hard working guys that have not gotten into knife collecting. They sure know what a good knife is though. We were in a light hearted conversation about squirrel teeth and stuff and I was still in that mood when I made my remarks about roughnecks and all. I have alot of friends and relatives that were roughnecks when they were young, right before I went to work for the Wild Life and Fisheries of the state of Louisiana, guess what? I was a roughneck for a couple of years.

Jan....

Yes I know but I don't have this problem with my better half.  But many do.

I never understand that question Clint.  "What do you need another knife for".  Even before I joined Donnie in the collecting realm, I always seemed to have understood that knives are tools.  Tools that can make a hard job easier and quicker.  Now that I collect also, I even have friends that ask me the question LOL.  Standard answer for me is...because I want one

Bob is saying, there are a lot of new people in his State who are along way from home and are making lots of money.  Because they are away from home, they have a good deal of disposal income so they are buying things they did not feel they could afford before.  Also, most likely they left their financier over watch committee of one (wife) behind so there is no one to say, "What do you need another knife for?"  LOL!
