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.
Miss Jan, have you heard any news on the new knives planned called Full House, French Kate, Whaler and Weaver Jack? The Whaler might just be in time for fishing season.
Here's the next new variation shipping most likely on Monday, April 25. Unfortunately, we won't get to see pix until then but here's the details. All of these will be Jacks including the 3 blade.

No news yet on the french kate, full house or whaler. I have heard tell that one of them will be a show knife for the rendezous this year but dont know which one it might be
Just wanted to be sure everyone knows about the show GEC is in this weekend. Took this from the GEC site, it is from Bob Andrews.....
Just to make sure everybody knows where we will be, The NRA Convention is in Downtown Pittsburgh at the David Lawrence Convention Center. The Monroeville Gun and Knife Show is at the Monroeville Convention Center located just off the Parkway East,or the PA Turnpike in Monroeville,PA,maybe 10 miles from Downtown. I will be at the Monroeville Show all weekend with a large selection of Great Eastern Cutlery. I will be accompanied there,on Saturday, by Christine Tucker from the Great Eastern Factory.
