Bob,

We will be there, you?

ok so my knife says its a gec TIW 151113 huckleberry boys knife nifebright acrylic. I cant find it on the list. How do I find out how many where made?

Lee.....

Are you familiar with GEC's numbering system..if not will lend a hand...if you notice the last two numbers refer to the year made......and GEC just release the 2012 Totals you'll need to wait another year.

No I'm not. I've been carrying this knife for 2 days. Now i'm not sure if I should carry it. Looks like the production numbers are pretty low.

Tang Number Chart
Main Blade Identity
0.Wharncliffe
1. Regular Clip
2. Regular Spear
3. Sheep Foot
4. Spey
5. Drop Point/Skinner
6. Sabre Clip
7. Sabre Spear
8. Muskrat Clip
9. Cotton Sampler

For Example: if the Tang Stamp reads 735208
# 73 = Pattern number
5 = the main blade (Drop point/Skinner)
2 = the knife has 2 blades
08 = it was made in 2008

Here's just a little assistance......

And I wouldn't worry about carrying it

I will try my best to be at the Rendezvous this year Jan!

I cant wait to see everyone at the shop, the Rendezvous is always so much fun

I wonder what will be GEC Rendezvous knife this year. Time to start guessing.

LOL...Robert!   Donnie asked me the same thing last night.  OK, lets start the discussion

We have seen an engraved whaler, an abalone 66, and some first run acrylic 25's .  I spoke with Bill Howard this afternoon and he tells me a pattern has been chosen but...............what do we think it will be?

Well, last year we had the Lockback, so I don't think it will be an outdoorsman style knife. I'll bet it's gonna be some sort of Whittler, probably on the large side. That ought to make JJ.'s day..LOL

let hear your experience story... I'll bring my popcorn.......eating it ::::chewing:::::

My my! Would you look at that fancy ringed n' dimpled bolster! And then those long pulls on not just the Master but the Pen blade as well! And, is that an 03 I spy on that gussied-up bolster?

That Pemberton pup sure sports a proud profile! I hope it serves you well for many years to come, my dear friend!

Cheers!

Real nice knives Bob.  Great picture too.

Wow great Bob, I love to see a man [or women] enjoy a knife that much. I think you have choosen a great pattern and a great brand. I know you won't be disapointed. I can't wait for your review, I have popcorn ready...LOL

Actuall, I was surprised how well the Stag Handles worked on these little guys. Sometimes,on a very small knife, the Stag Slabs have very little figure because of their small size. And sometimes,to get some figure, the slabs are left bulky like Bob refers to. But on the Pemberton's I've seen and handled,it was like the Stag Slabs were taken from little tiny deer. They had very nice figure and were well proportioned to the knife,not left all blocky and bulky. This whole run of knives were just right! A Fine job by GEC!

Bob,

The little guy is sure getting out and about.  Funny, I am watching your pics for the knives and the scenery too

Last night on KnivesLive SMKW, had a few older and awesome GEC

Bob, that's a fine GEC knife. It deserves a good ride. Enjoy!

As the Blade Show nears....who will be coming with us?

Great Eastern Cutlery Booth #255

The latest 92 Eureka Trappers in Black Buffalo Horn, Striped Buffalo Horn and Chechen Rose are on their way to Distributors now.

I would like to see the Chechen Rose

Che Chen Rosewood it is Jan! Now available at Old Hundred Collectibles

This is a very nice knife Bob.  Thanks for sharing the photo.

LOVE IT!  Wish it had a beavertail :(

Wonder who the special guest is?

Ya'll be careful, driving over there. Please take a lot of pictures.

Yep I'll second that.

Had dinner and a coke with Chris tonight :)

I understand there are two knives done special for Blade AND there is a knife making its debut.  Any guesses?  Pictures tomorrow!!!

Miss Jan, ask them what "Babylon Hill" means. Tell everyone hello for us Poboys and Gals.lol

Babylon Hill was the house of ill repute once owned by Ben Hogan and Kate LeCounte  (French Kate). It was on a hill  outside Tidioute.

Wow, I see, thanks David. It sounds like a place down in New Orleans, it was so bad, if you didn't have a knife when you got there, they'd give you one.

Babylon Hill is a summit (or hill) in Tidioute, Pennsylvania.  It forms the west border of the Allegheny National Forest.  The rest of it David shared LOL

Chris and Billy were kind enough to allow us a first look at the Blade Show knives and they are SWEET.  The 06 Pemberton is available in both interior and exterior Ivory.  This is the first time I have held the Pemberton, I like the size and in Ivory it is beautiful.  The Swing guard is making its debut available in CheChen Rose and Kingwood for the show

Those are some nice looking knives.

Thank you Alexander, these are the two that came home :)

Those are REALLY SWEET, Jan! I love the shield! Ivory??? What kind of Ivory is that?

Wow Miss Jan, I like em, I like em a lot. I seem to never see these offered for sell anymore. With Ivory, I mean.

Thanks guys! It is Elephant Ivory, one bark and one interior.  They were a special run for the Blade show and they are pretty amazing!
