Just wanted to let you know about this amazing sheath for your GEC's. Donnie has one and I beleive I am going to get one for myself also. I have never carried a sheath because as a female they always seemed bulky to me. This one holds the knife in place in the back pocket and does socomfortably.
Here’s a great way to carry the Ben Hogan knife. Out of sight, yet readily available in your hip pocket.
The Hip Pocket sheath positions your knife in the corner of your hip pocket, just behind the hip bone. Out of sight and out of mind until you reach back for it, always in the same location and always available. The Hip Pocket sheath takes up little room so the pocket is still useable for other items besides the knife. Comfortable and discreet, the Hip Pocket Sheath and your Hogan goes anywhere.
The Hip Pocket sheath can also be carried easily in a jacket or coat pocket. Now there’s no reason not to have your Hogan with you!!
Hip Pocket Sheaths can be made for other GEC knife patterns as well
love that sheath it looks nice and comfortable most men are used to carrying a wallet that looks more comfortable than a wallet i think i will get one thanks jan....
All Knife Leather Traditions custom sheaths are available through Greg, at TSA Knives, who is the exclusive distributor for Knife Leather Traditions products.
He can work with you on a sheath for any Great Eastern Cutlery knives.
Great Dave thanks for the info. Stephen, If you haven't worked with Greg before..He is awesome and I know on his ordering page for these there are many choices to make that special sheath your own
It ain't much, but it's something...... The latest on the Whaler is that it'll be 4 3/8" OAL closed and be a Swell Center...and the one being raffled at the open house is Red Spiral Cut Buffalo Horn.
You rock girl! Thanks for passing on that info! I figured that they would be abalone like the last few Rendezvous knives. I have been on the fence about entering the drawing but will have to give Chris a call ASAP. I have two spiral cut red/black liner lock #23's that I got on Ebay and I love them. A few years ago I didn't get too excited about this handle material and jigging/tooling but once I got one and held it in my hand I was hooked! I can't wait to see this knife and hope whoever wins it will post some pictures of it. Best of luck to everyone who enters the drawing! Jan I'm jealous of you and all of the folks who get to attend the Rendezvous! The rest of us will have to live vicariously through you! Please take some pictures if you don't mind. I still fancy that rainbow acrylic knife that you picked up at GEC previously and posted pics of. I wish GEC would put a few of these gems on their website for poor schmucks like me who can't make it. I'm sure that everyone will have a great time though. Maybe next year I can talk my family into a road trip to PA!
No word on the blade as of yet, I will let you know if I hear anything. Tom I will certainly be taking pics and entering info here as the days go on at the open house. If I see and end of day I will be sure to let you know
I probably won't enter, I'll just watch the fun. I really plan on falling in love with a knife, maybe even a model I don't have, what ever I get it's gonna be happy at home in my collection. Good luck & God Bless to all who enter.
I'm really liking Ben with the Spear, we'll see how he looks in person I guess.
Hey Jan, I just got word back from GEC saying that I won't have my #72 until sometime in August. It'll be a long wait, but it would be longer without my #72 Red Wine.
Damn! Something came up and now my daughter and I will not be able to attend the GEC Rendezvous! I had everything planned and ready to go, but my Dad had to go on a business trip and my Mom has Alzheimers and so I will be staying here to take care of her. I wish I could bring her out too, but she would just get too confused in an unfamilliar surrounding.
Jan and Ken, have fun and I'm sorry I won't get to meet you in person this time around. I also won't get to meet Chris and the whole GEC gang and I was really really looking forward to that for months!
Happy 5th Anniversary to GEC! Check out the Whaler, just posted on the new releases page on the GEC website this morning! Call your distributor and line up to get one! This has to be my favorite knife of all time!
Happy 5th to GEC indeed. When I look back I think about all the times a customer on here has said "I wish..." and the next thing we know that wish is incorporated in a knife. Little things like adding a bail because the customers wanted one. It is one of the qualities of a great company to hear what the customers are saying and care enough to make a product that fits the customers needs. Thanks GEC
The raffle is today folks. Be sure to contact Chris before 1pm. That will allow her some time to get your name on the tickets and the tickets in the drawing...Remember guys this is a one of a kind AND a proto, also an opportunity to help a great Project. Let me hear that phone ring
I think that the Geppetto will be some type of whittler since that was Pinocchio's dads name and he was a cobbler wasn't he? Wonder what they will do to the Templar to improve upon it? More natural scales like bone and wood? Multiple blades? There is always plenty of suspense coming out of GEC's factory!
Thanks for setting the record straight. Been way too many years since I read Pinnochio, either myself or to my kids. In any event, I would wager that GEC will do it up right. The #33 frame makes sense. I would like to see a slightly larger model too someday. Not quite as big as the #54 Stockman Whittler (which I do like) but in between that and the #33.
Johnny, I think that you are like me - you fall in love with almost all of the GEC knives! Even ones that may have not originally caught my attention find a way of speaking to me at some point and then one shows up in my mailbox! It's the darndest thing!!! I do like whittler's though.
I'm thinking about a Ben Hogan, and to be honest I wasn't really worried about getting one for a while, but now.... I don't know? They all just look so good, I feel like I should test them all. : ) A whittler would be fun, I think it would do well for GEC too. I don't have enough green for them to show up in the mail box that often, but I try.
I've got a few Hogans and I like them. Mine are mostly Genuine Stag, Burnt Stag and Snakewood been thinking of picking up a Red Wine one. I struggle with the green issue too Johnny. Too many knives...too little money! I agree with you that a whittler would be a good seller for GEC. I liked the Courthouse Whittler but would like a humpback whittler, a seahorse whittler or just a plain old fashioned traditional whittler. Sounds like you got a pretty good collection though my friend and to boot you got a one of a kind Ryan special Powderhorn - a one of one! No one else can claim that!
Tom, the Garnet bone has my number right now. I may attempt a rescue mission of one, but I really love the Yellow Rose, but I can only save one. : (
Nahh, I'll just wait till I can get both. I think a traditional whittler would be my first choice, I now have an executive whittle and I love it, I just need to actually whittle with it.
The Garnet bone is a handsome knife as is the Yellow Rose. I haven't gotten on the Y.R. bandwagon yet but I have had my eye on one or two. Sometimes I wait too long and they are all gone! I have a few of those Executive Whittlers myself - just got a cocobolo one with the New Aged finish when they came out. I need to do some whittling with mine too. I typically use my other New Aged #25 for that and as an EDC. Let us know how you like your Hogan(s) when you get them. I need to send one of mine back - my new Snakewood one with the clip and double pulls has neutralizer still on the blade and it gives it a brownish appearance that does not seem to rub off easily. I hate to part with it because it is sure a good looking knife but it needs to go back to PA to visit my #72's I guess.
Boy, these whalers are nice but I ordered without knowing the price. Does anyone know. I like the Northfieldbest, but got the Tidioute as it was the anniversary knife.
Well Tom, I fight with that same decision, then when I send it in, it's all right. Know that it's in good hands my friend, they will be getting your 72's back to you soon I hope.
