"HEADS UP ! JSR SPORTS & MORE Has WOODLAND MICARTA & BEAVER GNAWED CHERRYWOOD GEC#23LL SINGLE BLADE LINER LOCK knives in stock at the release date prices. "RIGHT NOW" 5.16PM 11/21/20
8:56 PM JSR SPORTS & MORE still has the Woodland micarta #23LL liner lock single blade Pioneer Trapper. I would of bought both. But I need more #19 Little Rattlers and the 2020 Viper#47s will be out soon. I only bought sixteen #23/23LL 2020 Pioneer Trappers. I have gone fool for GEC knives.
I just went back to JSR & Sports and the Rattler #19 Kingwood knife is still in stock. I told Mr. Jamie that I wanted to buy a second GEC#38 Special in tractor green for the child that makes straight AAAs in private school , earlier this year. Hank's two older brothers brought home a C for the first time. College courses must be at least a "B" to count. They can easily make an "A" and bring that up. Goofing off with football and no studying. They get nothing , maybe some old used knives. The little one is getting the perfect GEC knife for himself. I tell people all the time , if you want God to bless you with better knives , give a nice one away to the deserving. It works for me. JSR has a about 6/7 GEC#38 Special green & 4 GEC#38 Red bone knives left at the original low release date price. This #38 Special knife is perfect for a young child or wife's purse. The pull is a 5 and not a nail breaker. I love to carry mine daily. We all need to support our iKC supporter GEC dealers through these dark days ahead.
JSR Sports & More has seven GEC#19 Little Rattler Blue Teal Natural bone knives in stock. JSR is an iKC supporter . JSR always has the lowest prices and they never go up . I bought two GEC#38 Special Tractor Green knives at 2017 prices. Mr. Jamie is Jam Up !
I love Blue Creek Cutlery . Ken Mundhenk is wonderful. I bought some nice NOS GEC knives from Ken Mundhenk in 2020. And I scored two Maher & Grosh knives. I just bought an Arizona Ironwood GEC#47 Viper to go with my GEC#74 Ironwood Mustang. I still can't believe the GEC#81 Osage Orange with the knothole. I pussy footed a year on that knife before I pulled the trigger. As soon as I bought it , the three other same knives disappeared. I love to buy the last knife , that way you know it is a blessing from GOD !
I almost forgot about the late dropped #93s and #86 knives. Ken Mundhenk put out a late #GEC93 Rams Foot "Black" Oily Creek bone knife during the shutdown and I snagged it. Ken Mundhenk also dropped a late Oil Field Jack GEC#86 Oil Field Jacks in Oil Sucker Rod wood and another #86 in natural micarta. I missed the GEC#86 Oil sucker rod wood knife at the release date price. I ended up with the last one with the lowest price , from Ken. I let everybody know about the other knife that was available . That is what I do. It is more fun to help others score the knives of their dreams. "Thank You Jesus !" Please support our iKC supporters !
Congrats on the Viper score. I've been reaching out to blue creek for the last 2 months and no luck with the viper drop. I had to buy my first Viper from secondary market for double the price.
JSR Sports and More sent me an invoice for an Ironwood #47 Viper. Looks like am going to end up with three ironwood #47s . I have the Black Plum jigged bone #47/#74. I turned down an extra Black plum #74. I bought one Brown Burlap micarta #74. I bought three Arizona ironwood #74s and three ironwood #47 Vipers. I scored the phattest ugliest #74 Sambar Stag that I asked for and love. I have one #47 Sambar Stag on Pre-order. I scored an AAPK club knife. I think I scored the last one. "Blessings from God"
I am on the look out for the next GEC schedule. I will send out emails to dealers that might help me. Then I come straight to iKC , and I will give yall the scoop first. I have never sold or traded a knife in my life. I spend my time helping others score the knife of their dreams. This aint easy , it has taken me three years to learn how by knives on the web. I still don't know what I am doing. I have an old computer . You just can't give up. "GREAT EASTERN CUTLERY KNIFE COLLECTING IS WAR ! "

Not sure how many people here have heard of YouTuber Advanced Knife Bro, but he's one of the most hilarious & intelligent knife reviewers on that platform. Whether you agree or not, it's still worth checking out this video of his recent love for GEC knives (he's usually a tactical / camp knife reviewer). And if the following video doesn't catch your fancy, check out some of his other videos (he's got a lot of them, & most are far shorter than this on).
Hey Guys, I know i'm not very active here. But I thought someone here could help me out.
Some years ago I got a very nice GEC in a trade. It's a Burnt Stag handled #23 with linerlock from 2008. It's never been used or sharpened and is complete with paper, card and tube. The stag is very thick. And turning green one one of the scales. And it has a couple of corrosion spots on the rear of the spring.
Now I'd like to sell it somewhere....I know it's a rare piece It says one of 50 #3 but if you look it up online far fewer of them were ever made(19) . But I've no clue what kind of asking price I should put on it.
I've included a quick pic but can always provide more on request.
Well, I'd take some pics explaining what you mean by "scales turning green" and showing the corrosion on the backspring, as that will obviously decrease the value. Also consider estimating ru he pull on it. I know these older GEC 23s can be nail breakers....even the current ones are.
Some of the pith of the stag near the butt of the knife is turning green. Pith is known for this, which is why high end knife makers usually get rid of it all.
The pull is very heavy. I had someone over the other day who couldn't even open it. I wouldn't know what to rate it as but it probably is a nail breaker.
I'll take some more pics later.
The corrosion on the spring is only tiny spots. And I could easily polish them away without anyone being the wiser. But I know that in some cases responding old knives only brings down the value. So I haven't yet. It's nothing a few seconds of metal polish of the buffer wouldn't sort out.
Some bonus pics of the rest of the knife. If the value isn't too great I'll fix it up a little and just use it I guess. But if it's actually worth it to some collector then I'll be willing to part with it. It's a really nice knife apart from the green stag and the slight corrosion.
Not sure if you're asking if someone here would like to buy the knife or simply looking for feedback on the value. Personally I love the 23 pattern but many people don't prefer it, they feel it's too large for daily carry. This tends to keep demand and prices down a bit, the 23 is nowhere near as popular as some of the other hot patterns and consequently it's nowhere near as inflated on the secondary market. For me, an older/rare sample like this would be a $200-250 knife if mint. That green pith is a real turn-off though, enough that I'd likely still pass at $150. That's just my (dis)taste, others may not care as much. I'd recommend flushing the pith with mineral oil, see if you can scrub some of that green out, then use it!
If that's the case then I'll probably keep it as a user or something. I happen to like this size in a knife. The green pith isn't too much of a hassle. I can just clean it and then seal it with CA. No more problems with green ever again after that.
But if the value is that low then it's worth more to me as a user. Thanks for your honest evaluation though.
Yes on the 83s, but will there be enough for everyone to get a chance to buy one. I've had no luck getting one on early reserves for quite a while now.
After being robbed a few years ago, I have been able to replace all but 1 of the knives taken. Tidioute Kryptonite 682211. I know it is a long shot as it is/was fairly rare. If this ever pops up or you have one and may want to sell...give me a holler
