I'm curious too as to how easy it is to sharpen 01. I know my GEC 1095 holds a good edge and it's REAL easy to get a razor sharp edge!

Hey guys, while I was talking to Chris last night I asked her if the glow in the dark one white and she said no.  Faint green tint even when it is not glowing

Craig......

O1 is just as easy to sharpen as 1095 and will hold and edge longer...I've been using O1 knives in the outdoors for the past 5 years and have been very happy...

Thanks Jim! That's good to know! 

I'll have to get a black Bull Nose sometime.

I wonder if that Bull Nose would go over in "John Deere Green"?

#23 HUNTER  - I LIKE IT!!!

HAYN’ HELPER - I like the sheep foot/pen blade version.......

ITS A BEAVERTAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Have I told you about the GREAT service that Great Eastern Cutlery has? Well, they  do!!

The Fairmont,WV Gun and Knife Show is this weekend. Probably the best Show in the State of West Virginia. See my Post on the Events page. Love to "See Ya There!"

The #65 is not one of my favorite GEC models, but, I really like the Coffee House Acrylic!

Have a Beavertail coming :)

I like the jigged wood on those Jan.

I wanted to let you all know, I will be at the Rep weekend at SMKW this month 12-14.  This is a weekend where the reps come up and man their own product areas at SMKW.  It promises to be a good time with the ability to ask questions and meet the people behind the knives.  With that in mind I found out last night that Chris from Great Eastern will be joining us there!!!  So if you feel the need for fall, want to see whats going on in the knife world this season, or just have the need to put some in your hands....Come on by, say hi and look for Chris  (she will probably know where to find me also)

• PROJECTS TO PONDER:

• Halfwhit
• Huckleberry
• Indian Girl
• Coon Skinner 
   
  
  Hmmm........

NICE! 

Geez, that was fast....again. Does Pony Express go right past your house?

That's a beauty, Jan! I love that Beavertail shield!

Have you seen that Hogan done in Calico bone? http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/

Those look pretty good Ron. I saw them in Cocobolo yesterday. The Ben Hogan is growing on me......slooowly......after I saw it in Cocobolo.

Craig,

I think the post office has my house on speed dial LOL.

I was never as fond of the first hogan as I am of this one.  I think it is a combination of the lockback and the handle choices.  Calico has turned into the handle of choice for me but I cant resist a Beavertail!

Do you have the non-lockback Ben Hogan in Beavertail?

Hmmm, Pheasant Feathers. I think I like it.

KRYPTONITE! 

I guess Superman won't be getting a GEC knife in these handles!

Is there a Canoe in our future from GEC? Look at the end of the hall.........

http://greateasterncutlery.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/INDI...

The new Halfwhitt (half-whittler) is a #57.......a "penknife" version of the #57!

I'm also glad to see they are doing another production run of the #25 Little Jack! Most dealers don't have many left of the original ones.

Now, if they'd just do another run of #33 Conductors!!!!!

Craig....

I think you called it on the canoe...could that be the Indian Girl

GEC is going to use "Ring Wood". I wonder if that's the same as "Ring-Porous Wood"? 

"Hardwoods may be divided into ring-porous and diffuse-porous trees. In ring-porous trees the vessels laid down at the beginning of the growing season are much larger than subsequent vessels laid down at the end of the season (or ring). Diffuse-porous trees form vessels of roughly the same radial diameter throughout the growing season. Larger vessel size permits more-rapid water conduction."

I think it's supposed to be Kingwood. You're seeing a Typo.

They shouldn't do that to us old guys! LOL!

Little Jack covered in Buffalo Horn!

Superman hates these! LOL!

The Skunks are coming.............dead.

King Wood!

NICE!

These are all Protos and belong to SMKW now but what an amazing set

Absolute art!!

I want the ones at 8 o'clock and 2 o'clock! They're all nice, though.

Nice!

I will have one of these........

#25s......

A couple more Tidioutes.......

I like that Autumn oak, is that a new handle material?  I do not remember seeing it before

I like it too. It's a nice redish brown.

I see a Primitive Bone down there calling your name......."Jan, Jan....."

Okay Ron, you asked for it. I told you it was a small collection........so far.

HEY, you can see my toes!
