    To clarify further "ioute" is one syllable pronounced "yoot" or "ute" or "yout" (all the same)Tid-ioute, a two syllable word.

  • Bob Andrews

    Tid dee yoot,three sylables,a native american name.

    Has anyone heard any big GEC news for this summer? Except for their Rondevous. They must have some plans on a special knife or something like that. We need to hear some exciting news and get us all out of this winter time boredom.

  • Dana Mayo

    Well I'm not bored with 3 new GEC's on the way.

  • Dana Mayo

    My Mom passed away this month and I think it's fitting that I'm getting 2 Black  GEC sunfish. One from Alan (the Luca Buffalo Sunfish) and a nice black ebony Watch Pocket from Bruce's website (Doc's Knife works)

  • Tom Peterson

    Dana, our sympathies go out to you and your family. Best wishes to you.

    Dana, really sorry to hear about your Mom, my prayers are with ya'll.
  • Dana Mayo

    Thanks all, Correction I have now 3 Black GEC's this month with the addition of another Tid-ioute watch pocket Black Buffalo from Bruce. In memory of Mom

    Has everyone seen the Whats Happening today?

    #66 Moose spear blades ready to be blade ground.


  • Jan Carter

    Dana,

    We certainly wish your family peace as you move forward, our prayers are with you all.  Losing a parent is certainly difficult.  The Blacks will always remind you of her and that is wonderful

  • Dana Mayo

    Thanks Jan!

  • Dana Mayo

    Jan, Where is the "Whats Happening today" link?

    What's at the end of the Hall? Looks Like Paul  Bunyan to me....

  • Dana Mayo

    Thanks Alan and Jan. Got it and bookmarked it.

    Yep, I've seen those 66's what's up with them spear blades.

  • Dana Mayo

    I'd like to see nail nicks added to those

    I got excited when I got the news of a Moose in production until I realized, I just got one that size in stag. What I'm really looking for is a 54 Moose in Primitive Bone.

  • johnny twoshoes

    That would be very nice, the #54 would look great with some beautiful age old primitive bone.

    I can't find out, are they making some #66 Moose patterns and if they are, then in what handle materials. I'm looking to get a small moose for a user in wood or bone. I'm fired up, finally, a Moose!

  • Tom Peterson

    Robert,

    This is what I see from one of the distributors:

    #66 – Moose – Big Clip and Big Spear

    Tidioute – Smooth Bolsters
    Spring Green Bone
    Ebony Wood
    Tomato

    Northfield – Lined Slanted Dimpled Bolsters
    Southwest Turquoise Acrylic
    Cocobolo Wood

    Northfield – Straight Lined Dimpled Bolsters
    Blood Red Bone
    Burnt Stag
    Genuine Stag
    Primitive Bone

    Jan, I see the Primitive Bone Calf Ropers are up on GEC's new release page!


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    That will do just fine, I'd like one in Cocobolo. After all this time and all the knives I've been through, I don't have one in Cocobolo. I have a bunch in wood just not that one. I wanted another small moose to use when I wear shorts in the summer. Thanks Tom.

  • Dana Mayo

    Dark%20Front.JPGLight%20back.JPG I just received this Northfield #36 in burnt stag . The handles are different shades. What do y'all think?

  • Clint Thompson

    I LOVE-EM!

  • Dana Mayo

    Thanks Clint. I was considering returning it, thinking it was mismatched. But I really do like each piece.

  • Jan Carter

    Dana,

    I really like them also, gorgeous scales.

    Robert,

    Still crossing my fingers for a 54 moose for you

    Tom,

    Already on the way (LOL) 

  • Dana Mayo

    Lets see if I can get this picture layout right this time. Nice or mismatched?

    Robert Burris

    Miss Jan, are they gonna make some 66 moose patterns?

  • Jan Carter

    http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/information/whats-happening-jan...

    According to the What Happening today, they are building parts for one


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    I saw that today but that doesn't tell me exactly what their making. I did see the name Moose, so thats got me hanging on...lol

  • Jan Carter

    Sorry Robert,

    Go look at these 66 Mooses

  • Tom Peterson

    Robert,

    The post that I put up earlier was from Collector Knives early reservation page. Seems pretty clear what Mooses will be made.

  • johnny twoshoes

    Yeah, we have a Moose on the way. I wouldn't mind picking one up, but I keep looking at the #66 jacks and I don't know, they look really good.

  • Dana Mayo

    A few Knife pics.

  • Dana Mayo

    One more. The Buffalo Horn duo.

  • Ron Cooper

    Dana,

    In the pic of the knives on the blue and white towels (below) that Spyderco stands out like a guy eating a cheeseburger at a vegetarian convention!

    You have some very drool-worthy knives, my friend!

    Cheers!

  • Dana Mayo

    Ron, Good analogy. I do have a more appropriate drawer for that Spyderco Military.

  • Jan Carter

    But the Spyderco is enjoying the company

  • johnny twoshoes

    Dana, you got a nice collection for sure. I don't buy as many Case knives as I once did, but they still make a better pocket knife than I do. : )

    Those Backpockets interest me, but don't tell GEC. LOL

  • Dana Mayo

    Well Johnny, Case was my 1st love

  • Dana Mayo

    Also Johnny, those back pockets have that abrupt half stop. It will suprise you if your not expecting it.

  • johnny twoshoes

    Dana, I have a good friend who has one and I got to play with it for a while. I really do like the knife, I may end up with one someday.

  • Luca Vignelli

    Dana, looks to me like you got yourself a beauty from the #36 Buffalo Horn Sunfish run we did last year, lucky you. I hope you enjoy it's infinite wonders. I know it's just a knife, but the possibilities are endless, right?

  • Dana Mayo

    Luca, I agree totally. There is something infinite about an edge.

  • Tom Peterson

    Dana,

    Nice looking #36 & #26!

  • Tom Peterson

    Ron,

    Look on GEC's web site & look under patterns. Click on the picture of the first one and it will have a date. Some of the really old patterns don't have the date on the picture though.

  • Jan Carter

    or look at the production total lists under information

  • Dana Mayo

    Hi all, I have a repair question. Is it possible to raise the kick of a knife that closes to low in the frame?
