I do feel guilty that I haven't ordered the Janberry Jig Whaler too since it was named by our own Jan Carter!  I already have three on order though and need to catch my breath. Jan you will have to add the Primitive Bone Whaler to your primitive bone GEC collection. You asked how to display them - at first I thought with a steer skull like on the old Eagles album (I am really dating myself now) but it may have to be with some whale bones now that the primitive bone Whaler is out. I wonder where a fella can get some whale bones? How about using some cowhide in black and white since the primitive bones are cow shin bones? That might be easier to come across than whale bones or a narwhal tusk. You got lucky with the Beaver Pelt, that is not something we see every day down here in sunny FLA.

I kind of hope that GEC doesn't make the Whaler in genuine stag - the cost would be astronomical! The burnt stag is already high rent. Can you imagine one in Mammoth Ivory bark though? Like those $500 Rendezvous Whalers on Ebay. I saw a few Musk Ox handled Randall Made Knives recently and that was a pretty darn cool handle material. I don't suppose that is cheap either but while we are wishing for nice scales....

It may have been burnt stag.

I thought I seen one on the knifecollector.net site in stag and it wasn't cheap either.

Janberry Jig.....I like that!! I wonder if Jan likes it?   How about the new Burnt Stag and the Primitive Bone Whalers?

I wonder if they will make a genuine stag version.

If I were to invest the money into a whaler, I would get the "Janberry Jig Bone" or at least thats the name I like. : ) But seriously, I think the added story behind it, fresh out of the tube would be enough for me to make a purchase, but we'll see. I still need a Hogan, and maybe a Kate. 

 

I'll be praying for that ugly knife that I don't want, but we all know thats not gonna happen.

No problem Jan. I wanted credit to go where it was due. I think that I would like Knife Collectors Anonymous - I enjoy seeing other folks favorite knives. After seeing what the new Whaler's cost in Burnt Stag and the bigger upcharge for the serialized models over what we usually pay I think that I am going to start collecting the bowtie knives! Ouch!

Dan,

I am sure glad he enjoyed his day at the training camp, he is a nice young man and I know he was looking forward to it.  We ended up with 1 of the show knives, 1 of the 5th anniversary and two of the cranberries.  Cant wait to see you both again next year and I am so glad you joined here also.  Keep us informed on your newest and how your son does this season

Dear Don and Jan (and other Great Eastern fans) - It was absolutely fantastic to be able to attend the rendezvous last weekend and to meet you guys.  I was there with my high school football-playing son who was fired up about going to the Steelers training camp in LaTrobe on the next day (he got 11 autographs including Hines Ward and even gave big Ben a hand slap when he came out to walk toward practice).  However, my great day was at Great Eastern, where Pat gave us a wonderful tour and I ended up parting with some $$ to get the laser-engraved smooth-boned whaler made for the event.  I am glad that you pushed me in that direction Don! I have collected stag GEC since early 2007 and wish I had attending more of these events.  What about that great pig roast?  I'll be back!  Best, Dan

Now the Tidioute Cranberry Wine Jigged Bone Whaler that Jan got to name is up on GEC's web site. They must have run out of room for text cause they only called it Red Wine Jigged Bone. Jan, you'd better straighten this out with our pals at GEC! The whole concept of being selective could get lost with these Whalers. I am sensing another checking account overdraft similar to when the Templars and Courthouse Whittler's came out! Sign me up for Knife Collectors Anonymus pronto!
