I really do like this knife Billy. I find as I grow older I like a simple single blade knife a good deal! The glow in the dark makes this one user friendly but it also makes it fun
Howdy Folks,I'd like to tell you about an upcoming event that Great Eastern Cutlery will be participating in. The Allegheny Sport,Travel and Outdoor Show will be in Pittsburgh,PA> next week. The Show runs from Wednesday the 13th thru Sunday the 17th of February. It is located at the Monroeville Convention Center,Pittsburgh,PA. Here is a Link to the Show website with the full details:Allegheny Sport,Travel and Outdoor Show
Great Eastern Cutlery will have a Booth at this Show. I will be manning the Booth on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday Afternnon. Chris Tucker and Billy Howard from the GEC Factory will be there on Friday Evening and Saturday and Sunday.We will be displaying a wide variety of Great Eastern Cutlery,some of which is no longer available or not yet available, from Distributors. Chris and Billy will be able to answer any questions about Great Eastern Cutlery,and I'll try my best! LOL! So if you're in the Western PA area next week,come on out and see us! We would love to meet you!
For anybody that can make it to the Allegheny Sport,Travel and Outdoor Show,Great Eastern Cutlery will be located in Booth 1137. I'm going to meet up with Chris today and help set up our Display. The Show opens tomorrow at 3 PM. I Hope to see you there!
Thanks for the nice comments folks. I thought the Flag was appropriate for American Made Cutlery. It was actually a gift from the Show Promoter. We display it proudly!
Thanks Stanley. I'm hoping to get a chance to meet some of our IKC Folks.I know Johnny Two-Shoes doesn't live too far from here. I also know he is a VERY busy young man!
Wednesday and Thursday Evening and Friday Afternoon went quite well Jan. I talked to Patty briefly today and she said Saturday and Sunday went well. Chris should be back on Wednesday and I'll get the full story then.
Take a close look at the "What's Happening" page on the GEC website. Look carefully and you will see a reference to a great,new ,as yet unannounced pattern.
I read every blog and each time I gain more knowledge about this brand. I love the GEC brand of knives and when I can afford to buy one I do. I am thinking about another Cotton King whenever they make another run.
I am a pup when it comes to this brand so I just watch and learn. I think blogging has gone down across the board. However, keep them coming......
I'm glad you're interested Clint! Just about everybody is a Pup when it comes to this brand. They've only been around 6 or 7 years. We're all learning together!
Ha! Bob, I bet if I showed up to take 'ol Jack off your hands I wouldn't be able to pry him away from ya with a crowbar! Judging by the way he was casually grooming himself and hanging with you out on the deck he looks to be family. But you can do me a favor and give ol' Jack a little back scratch the next time you see him. And tell him that I said "howdy!"
The 99 Farmer Jack has a lot in common with the 15 Boy's Knife. Very simple,clean lines. No fuss,no muss. A basic pocket knife,everything you need in a cutting tool,and not much else. Form follows function.
It's going to be a nice weekend to spend indoors in our area. If you live near Niles,Ohio,you can see the folks that make the knives for GEC. The Sportsmans Show in Niles will have Chris Tucker on Friday,Chris and William Howard (son) on Saturday. And Chris and possibly Bill Howard (owner of GEC) on Sunday. Stop by and say "Hello".
Any one going to The Knife Roadshow at the Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center in Dalton, Georgia this weekend March 8 - 10? I'll have couple tables, stop by and say hi. Saturdays temp is suppose to be 65!!

Here was the last GEC purchase that I made about a month ago. The handle really does glow on this one.

A gift from their Pap they would probably cherish the rest of their life! Or at least long after they've lost the knife!
