Thank you very much, Ralph. And Fred Kemp, I'm probably not gonna put this one in daily rotation. May carry on special occasions and the holidays. :) Might change my mind but I already have several I use everyday.
Fantastic score T. Smith. Good looking, thanks for sharing.
That's a good looking knife, T. Smith! Is that a daily carry?
Thank you Ken for the kind welcome in this community. I am definitely a fan of the Great Eastern produced examples and I hope to visit this forum often and become more familiar with like-minded members. I actually received a nice example today, an SFO via Charlie C. It felt like stepping back in time as I went over the details of its scratted parchment bone covers on this 15c115. Thrilled for the opportunity to have in my possession.
Thank you for the heads up Jan. They have had some really nice GEC's put up.
It would be super great if they had a Northwoods Presidential :-)
The collection purchased by Erin must have been a doozy!
"Friday 4-3-2020, there will be 15+ New (old stock) Northwoods knives added to the store. There is a wide variety of handle material available. Some knives come with a medallion as well. Each knife has it's own beautifully made leather sheath. "
Kenneth,
You did indeed score and YES! Blue Creek rocks
Well I finally made a purchase with Blue Creek Cutlery. I love to support dealers that support iKC Forum. I bought three knives from Blue Creek Cutlery. I spotted a GEC#93 Rams-foot Oily Creek Bone knife on Franks that had been sold. I went on the hunt , big time. I spotted the #86 Oil Field Jack Oil Sucker Rod Wood knife. I snagged it. I missed out on that one last year. I had been eyeing an #81 Osage Orange wood knife with a rare knot hole. I snagged it. . There was photo of a really dark GEC#93 Rams-foot Oily Creek Bone knife at the lowest price ! Man I scored well today. Blue Creek Cutlery ROCKS !
After the #23 run , things will get real exciting. We are going to see better knife/scale choices. The dealers have plenty of NOS knives. GEC and the GEC dealers will need to make money , not get stuck with NOS knives. Bill Howard knows what sells faster and sells out quickly. The best GEC knives are yet to come , this and next year. GEC needs to offer more scale choices and less quantity of each knife offered. Beaver shields is a great example. On the #23 Brazilian wood , go half beaver shield and go half bomb or hounds tooth shield . Some collectors will try to buy both, like me. More choices is always better. And less pieces will drive up the value of the Great Eastern cutlery knives. The #62 Pocket Carver Camel banana and square bar shield knives are a great example. It is going to be fun to see what GEC comes up with after the #23 run.
