We may be there, I sent Luca another order a couple of hours ago. I know he is doing some work away from his computor lately. I hope we find out tonight. I am so excited!!
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEY!!!
WE MADE IT TO 50! 50! 50!
I'll call Chris Tucker at GEC and tell her the news later today and get the ball rolling!
I have received 23 out of the 40 (some ordered multiples) address and telephone numbers I need to add to the list. Please send me your info a.s.a.p. so that we can finish up nice and neat.
I bet you can see that I am smiling from ear to ear!
I want to thank each and every one of you for hanging in there and believing in the possibility that we could make this happen together! We did it!!!!!
I will post final payment instructions today for everyone, after I speak with GEC. I'll also reach our to everyone personally, just to make sure we're all on the same page.
To those who have friends who have signed on to the project that are not part of iKC, please send me your friend's name, address, and telephone number for the final ordering list, so that I can pass the info along to Christine Tucker at GEC. Thanks.
Just heard this bit of news and thought I would pass it on.
I just found out that the first of the Courthouse Whittlers coming through will be the Frontier Bone and they should be coming off the line tomorrow. By Friday, there's a good probability we could see 2 more handle materials coming through. It will be nice to see this new pattern
OK my friends, we have the go ahead to complete our orders for the GEC Northfield UN-X-LD #36 all Steel Buffalo Horn Sunfish!
Please contact GEC, by email, telephone, or even regular mail, and send them your hard earned dollars, euros, pounds, and rupiah, payment for the knives you ordered. GEC accepts almost every form of payment known to mankind! Credit Card, Personal Check, Money Orders are all good. You must mention in a note that you are part of this group effort, by mentioning iKC and the name of the knife, #36 Buffalo Horn Sunfish, or my name even. GEC will already have your names and info and will then be able to check you off the list when payment is completed.
OK, payment options info:
Send email payments, by credit card, and a note to: chris@greateasterncutlery.net
Call in your order by telephone to Chris Tucker: 814-827-3411
Mail in orders to:
Chris Tucker
Great Eastern Cutlery
701 East Spring Street
Building 2, Unit 10
Titusville, PA 16354
Now, most importantly, GEC will not even order the necessary buffalo horn handle material until every last one of us is paid up in full. So, I am asking you all to please make your payments promptly. As soon as we have all paid for our knives GEC will schedule the production for them to be made. I am going to send them my payment now, immediately after I'm done typing this, as a start and hope that you will all follow me in doing so.
Next as a recap, the final price for one knife will be $114.73 plus $10.00 FedEx shipping added at time of shipment. The $10.00 FedEx shipping is good for up to 6 knives that will fit in a box without getting too heavy. So the final cost for those of us ordering more than one knife will be $124.73 for the first knife and $114.73 for each additional knife up to the limit of six knives delivered. For members of our group who live outside of the US, GEC has graciously agreed to maintain the same shipping costs as above, but the method of shipment will be by USPS, so that should make it nice and easy for all.
OK guys and gals, let's all step up to the plate and pay GEC so that we can get these knives in our pockets, or knife rolls, or display cases as soon as possible. Remember that GEC says that the turnaround time for delivery will be three to four months, and that's from the time we are all 100% paid up, so lets finish this up and get it done.
It's nice to be able to turn a dream into a reality and we did that, together as a group!
Also, I forgot to add below that GEC will not cash your check, or charge your credit card, or money order, until all of our payments have been received for all of the 50 knives ordered.
After mulling it over a great deal, I think I'm going to skip this one, Luca, but I admire & fully appreciate your dedicatication & efforts to get this special order knife off the ground. I do hope there'll be another spec run knife in the future that would be more to my liking.
Jan, Yes we have 21 payments in so far after one week (thanks to those of us who paid already), out of the total of 38 payments we need to make to GEC for our 50 knives. Next week I'll ask Chris to forward me the names of those whose payments are still outstanding then, and I'll gently remind them to complete their orders promptly for the greater good of our group.
Thanks. That is actually a test run peice. It is called End of Day in a 250109. That is the only one made in that pattern but End of Day was actually on a total of about 6 test run peices in 2009. I can tell you that if you ever get a chance to go to the Rendevouz, that is the best place to find those odd peices.
We're down to the last few payments needed to complete our special factory order of the GEC #36 Buffgalo Horn Sunfish. If you haven't contacted GEC to make payment yet, please do so by the end of this week, or all of our orders will be delayed until all of our payments are in, which will hold up the production of these knives for all.
For any of you that dont know, Pat Vroman is the materials ordering person at GEC (among other things) His Birthday is tomorrow. If you go to the GEC forum, I have started a Happy birthday VMAN. Please feel free to add your thoughts.
