I just received a white bone Pocket Carver #62 and a #38 Bocote wood single blade. I have been eyeing a #38 2017 single blade knife since I starting collecting GEC knives in 2018. I can afford any knife that I want. I stay off of Evil-bay since they charge state tax now. I like most of the GEC dealers. I know which dealers will bend over backwards for me and the dealers who could care less. I learned how to get the knives that I really want. I am a single blade fool. But I learned that GEC#86 Jack knives are so much fun in your pocket. I took a leap of faith on those knives and scored heavily. I am excited ,stoked ,and frustrated over the GEC#23 two blades and #23LL Trappers. I'll be money set next Friday for the #23 knives. I bought too many GEC #62 congress/carvers and I still came out on top with my saving. I just received my CASE XX Trapper-lock Kickstart green zebra wood knife. The knife deals are popping up everywhere . I am so weak ! I plan to buy ten GEC#23 knives , maybe more. I want to support Great Eastern Cutlery and the GEC dealers. I have bought all the NOS GEC knives that I really wanted. "PUSSYFOOTING" is the true enemy of knife collecting. I am up to sixty-seven GEC knives now. I am so blessed and thankful. My whole knife collection is getting Krazy. "GREAT EASTERN KNIFE COLLECTING IS WAR !"
I hate that the knife factories are being closed for this virus but I would hate it worse if our few & far between cutlers were taken by it. For now, let's all just look to see if there is a piece we are missing in our collections and try to find it. While our manufactures may be closed for a little while, our sellers are not...let's be supportive of them?
Just an FYI from TSA Knives
adding today:
11 GEC Specialty knives from the Charlie C. collection. All are new in the box, dates ranging from 2012 to 2016. Most of them are barlows, with a few others mixed in.
I get it on the closing, so sad. God willing, this virus will run it's course and the whole world can get back to whatever it is they love to do.
Having said this, I'm on the list for a #23 from Frank's and Collectknives! However, all good things come to those who wait, right?
GEC Collection: 160 New & Old Stock Knives NIB
Looks like a collection may have been purchased
