OK Max, I guess it is not you. Our newest members are Chuck Harnage and Rob Hupp. They both appear to be new to IKC and our little group here. Let's make sure we give them a great welcome to the community
Chris told me,the new fixed blades,including the Bird and Trout,won't be ready to ship until probably sometime in November.They are also going to be VERY LIMITED production.VERY!

Jan/Ken .. it'd be great if a link to GEC's hm pg were in the opening Group Discussion "Information" section. I know I have it under favorites .. somewhere. Or I could certainly google it again. Just came here quick thinking I'd find it .. & didn't .. just a thought.
It just seemed like a right nice place to have a link direct to their (GEC's) homepage.
I really knew very little about GEC before iKC. I still don't own one .. but .. that will be rectified soon. Hopefully, the link & where it's @ will turn a few more member's on to GEC.
If you have not read this entry in the blog by Scott King, you should. It will make every collector laugh and feel the pains of what we thought our collections would be and what they really are.
Are you going to list them for sale in the Sale or Trades? I was going to start a discussion for everyone to put their notice that they have GEC's in that blog for sale, but think it would be more effective for those folks to put their notice right here on the comment wall. What do you think?
Jan - speaking of older GEC's. I'm looking for a 735208 in Burnt Grizzly. I remember more than a year ago Doug Scearce told me that there were only 5 pcs serialized and 7 nos in 2008. I know it's a long shot but I doubt there is anywhere else on the web that I would any more luck than here.
Thanks Jan. I sent the owner an email. Now I will have to start my research to see if I can figure out all the models that have been produced with the Burnt Grizzly bone. I would like to have a complete set.... but finding them is half the fun!
I just spoke with Chris Tucker the other day, she's the sales director at GEC, about special ordering custom spec knives. Their minimum order for a custom knife production is 50 pieces and they have a three to four month turnaround time. We have 88 memebers here so far, so we could use our numbers to order ourselves a very special knife and we could do so 3 or 4 times a year too. The way it works is that we spec the knife, from their existing patterns, choose materials, blades and details, and a mimimum order of 50 pieces (if not more) and they come back to us with a price. If the price works for us, we just sign the papers, give them the go ahead, and the money, and wait for our special packages in the mail! We'll get to talking about commissioning new patterns from them later, like a real repro of the C. Platts Jumbo Swell Center, although I did see the one the club made last year. Anyway, let me cut to the chase: I propose that we ask GEC to price out a Northfield #36 Sunfish all steel with smooth shiny all deep black buffalo horn handles (big black and shiny like a grand piano!). Anyone interested??? If I hear back from fifty of you out there we CAN do this! And then do it again and again!

Oh yeah .. but don't think GEC's makin' one @ the moment.
I'm rather fond of modified mini-copperlocks .. small unique quality locking folders in the more general sense.
My current EDC is a Queen's 06L Teardrop in honey amber bone. I'm rather fond of their buttonlock version of the 41L too.
I've been looking more & more @ GEC's product & there's certainly a purchase in my future !!!
