Had a chance to talk with Bill today and he says the canoe and the boys knives are being received VERY well!

Most under rated handle material right now?  Coffeehouse, looks almost like an old celluloid but does not photo very well

Jan I agree it is a nice material.....  IMG_0975.JPG 

I like that Coffeehouse too. If it looks better in person, so much the better!

I give!  Any ideas on what the CKW means?

Jan....Cumberland Knife Works ...one of the first Great Eastern distributors...had the the rams horn and ebony Sfo's made for them

goodness I had totally forgotten that.  We used to buy a lot of knives from him

I use to buy knives from him, also. He told me once he was a preacher, here in Louisiana, I think that's how the story goes. Well anyway, he's a real nice guy. Just like all of the GEC distributors.

We bought from him but not GEC.  He used to sell Case alot

I think I mostly, bought Queen knives from him. He's a nice old guy.

When I go there I don't see GEC listed.

Craig....

He hasn't been a GEC Distributor for over three years now..every so often he does post a few from the first 2-3 years...

For those of us that have been privileged to extend our collections with Bruce Piehl. He has shared with us today that he lost his brother this week.  Please keep his family in your thoughts

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bruce and those respective family members who are now mourning Russell's sudden and tragic death. So sad to lose such a valuable life in this way.

My Prayers are with the Piehl Family.....

Condolences to Bruce and his family.

I had a good talk with Bill Howard not too long ago and one of things we discussed is acrylics.  The new coffee house gets us closer to the look of an old celluloid.  I got my first one today in the 57 pattern and I have to tell you this is one sweet handle material and the pattern just makes me want another one :)

My prayers are with Bruce's family.

I really like that Jan! The handles look very old timey....which I like.  I hope they use it on the Pemberton. 

It is so awesome in person, it really does have an old timey look to it.  Thanks  and I hope they use it on the Pemberton also

Nice lookin' half whittler ya got there, Miss Jan!

Thanks Ron, I thought it was fitting for me LOL

That's another beauty Jan!

Got as 74 in burnt stag today.  The newest EDC.  First impression, sharp out of tube, no blade run and the blades have no play.  I imagine it will see some use next week.  Will get some pics up tomorrow

That's nice looking! Interesting with the Wharncliffe blade.

It is interesting.  This one is an EDC so the 2 blades will each be useful in their own way on a remodel job :)

This is Donnies EDC or yours? Very nice stag on that pretty thing.

That sure is purrrdy, Miss Jan!

Donnie claimed it as his EDC when he opened the tube Robert.  I can see it as useful for him at work so I sis not complain too loudly LOL

You know I was just reading a review here on iKC about the 4 blade Cuban and now there has been a release of a 2 blade.  Looks like a very nice knife.  Anyone considering them?

Almost forgot....In case you have not seen the review

http://www.iknifecollector.com/forum/topics/gec-cuban-castro-stockm...

and have any of you seen this???

Hmmm, a big Cigar pattern "Double-end Jack".....I like it!

That fixed blade does something for me

I love a good clip point. They have other handle material, also.

One of these is headed to our home :)

Just talked to Chris at GEC and today is a great day

she is giving tours today for the boy scouts and cub scouts.  That is just a fantastic way to grow knife folks

These are all the gec knives that I own. The farmers friend is the one I got in the mail today. I thought I was going to get a redneck farm tool. It's ok though. I think I'll keep it.

I just heard that the jigged bone will be Autumn Gold (Thanks Bob)

Lee,

The Redneck is scare to find these days but same tool with a different name.  That is one nice knife they put togeather.  Whats the S & M on the bottom of the pic? I like the bolsters on that one

Lee..

I like your choices.  Nice looking knives.

that's my shatt and morgan gunstock. 1 of 30.

Yummy! I have to have one.

Well, I have been waiting for them to finish some of these and the first day I don't check, here they are. I gotta get me some, yea!
