Why buy a knife if you want to change everything about it? Why not just order your one of a kind from a custom knife maker and be done with it?

Luca, this sounds like what Buck does in their custom shop. 

I think as of right now, GEC may be to small to start something like this up. I don't know for sure, but I wander if they would have to higher new employees to get this going. I like the idea, but it sounds like a dream that you have just infected me with and now I will never sleep again.

Luca, I like your idea, if GEC could make that work. That might also allow engraving of bolsters, etc.  Lots of potential to own a 1 of 1!

Guys and gals, sorry to be off topic as usual, and talking about my dreams, as usual, but another thought came to me that I thought I should share. Fender guitars, another great American manufacturer, has a "custom shop" that makes limited edition guitars and will customize guitars to spec'. GEC will and does manufacture "custom" knives to customer specifications in both their own product line and those made for other brands and those are called Special Factory Orders, but they're not one off's and require a minimum production run. What if GEC could set up a shop within the factory that could customize their knives as an after market modification. Customized cars don't come out of the factory that way, they're worked on by craftsmen afterward. Imagine, you send in your existing GEC knife, whatever it may be, and have it modified to your liking by GEC's finest craftsmen, perhaps switching out one blade for another, or taking one out, or changing the scales. OK, that's what I'm dreaming about now. And hey, that service certainly wouldn't be free, but I think it would be a business opportunity for the great craftsmen at GEC, and an opportunity for us all to get the knives we dream about made by the company we so admire. Made by the GEC Custom Shop, I can se the COA now!

Is anyone trying the new #26?

It looks like a nice little pocket pal with that Clip blade.

Looks like the Wrangler is a #56 reverse like the geppetto, with a lady leg main blade.

Hey folks,

Tom let me know that I have been remiss in advising you all that there is a group on iKC for the Daniels Family Knives.  It is in Toms words a  new chapter of high quality American made knives.  Brought to us by Ken and Ryan Daniels.  So check out their first offering right here on iKC (and surprise, it's a Great Eastern made knife)

Gotta love a purdy #72! I agree with you Terry, makes a good companion to the iKC knife.

Thats a real beauty Terry.

It's hard to beat those #72s, they really are just too slick to resist.
