I just receive an E-mail from Kifer Cutlery , my Blue Camel bone GEC#23LL has been shipped.  I am sweating it out on the Mesquite-wood #23LL invoice.  I got skunked on the GEC#29 Snakewood , last year.  It aint yours until it's in your hand.  

I just paid  for my Mesquite Wood GEC#23LL invoice.  I bought a CASE XX Pocket Worn Harvest Bone Tribal lock knife ,  Seal1 CLP paste , and a braided lanyard black leather.  I had to prove , I was thankful.   

The Antique Autumn wavy rogers jigged bone GEC#33 Conductor knives were released today.   No news or photos on the GEC#33 Sambar Stag knives yet.  A GEC#35 "Beer & Sausage" knife has been announced.   This #35 knife is in production.  I believe the scales will be Autumn Leaf jigged bone.  

Mike Latham : Owner of CollectorKnives.net    ---  His ranch was hit by 102MPH winds for at least 15 minutes , about two days ago.  His family is picking up the pieces.  Pray for him and his family.   Thank God , no lives were lost.  Give him at least a week to get back to business. 

That is some fast winds. We get 60-80 at least once a year here in Oklahoma. A Blessing no lives were lost. The concept of this coming knife looks to be a good one to collect.

Great Eastern Cutlery is having a Pennsylvania Wounded Warrior  raffle. August 14,2020   235220 UN-X-LD Sambar Stag "Bullet Shield  ( 1 of 2 )   I  guess the factory museum gets one two.  Check it out on the right side of the GEC Home page.

 I talked to Mr. Frank today of Franks Classic knives.   GEC did run out of bovine cattle bone during the production of the  Northfield #23LL Trapper Antique Autumn bone knives.  Those knives and the Northfield #23LL "Bullet" Redtail jigged knives will be assembled later this year ,after more cattle bone is back in stock.  A Sambar Stag #33 should be the next release.   Parts for a #35 run are being made right now.  Maher & Grosh will have a knife coming out in August ,2020.  I believe that will  be a #35 in Gabon Ebony wood.  Any other scales for Maher & Grosh will have to be assembled later.  (not confirmed) That is all I know right now. 

The Tidioute #33 Antique Autumn wavy jigged bone Conductor knives have been already shipped out to the GEC dealers.  Look for postings and invoices soon.  The Northfield #33 Sambar Stag knives are released today. (8/7/2020) Those will shipped out next week.   400 pieces of each (not confirmed) 

The Northfield GEC#33 Sambar Stag Conductor knives have pinched bolsters !

The Sambar Stag #23 with the bullet shield is the best looking GEC stag knife ever. I just paid my invoice for the GEC#33 Conductor Antique Autumn wavy jigged bone knife.  The Sambar stag #33 is next and GEC will start  shipping them out to dealers on 8/10/2020.   

8/11/2020  A GEC dealer dropped three different GEC knives today.  Those sold out in less than ten minutes.  Woodland Micarta #23LL , Antique Autumn jigged bone #33 Conductor knife , & a batch of Northfield Antique Autumn Natural bone #23LL knives.   This might be a good sign that GEC received some new bovine cattle bone. All the parts have been made , just waiting on the bone.  GEC also posted a "What's at the END of the Hall ?" photo.   "CLUES !"  The #35 BEER & SAUSAGE" is going into assembly.  Maybe a #47 & a #74 also  There is a funny silver thing above the "Cobra" 's head.  It looks like a pile of knife parts.  If those bone parts are at the factory , we are rocking !  (Not Confirmed) You got to have bone or some other scale material to assemble !  Things are looking up !

Great Eastern Cutlery has posted the new Beer& Sausage schedule on their web-sight.   Autumn leaf jigged bone . ebony-wood , and natural canvas micarta.  Yall need to contact iKC GEC dealers NOW to pre-order one or all.  Kifer Cutlery Classics -- JSR Sports & More  --  TSA Knives  --- Blue Creek Cutlery    These knives are super hot !    (HEADS UP !  YOU SNOOZE !  YOU LOOSE !) Most will be sold before the release date.   All will be sold in minutes after posting.  

Thanks for the heads up Kenneth. I got one pre-ordered in ebony. Best wishes 

Looks like the #35 Beer & Sausage will be made in very low numbers.  I can't give an actual number. (not confirmed)   You have to choose which one you like best.   Many dealers hate pre-orders and this will create a knife buying frensy on these knives when posted for sale .    I am signed up on notifications with every GEC dealer.  That might help.  Contacting iKC supporter GEC dealers "NOW" is your smartest bet ! And I takes the stress out of buying GEC knives.

GEC posted photos of the Beer & Sausage combs.  Photos of the spear blades should be posted soon.   

I was just on the Great Eastern Cutlery web-sight .   #74 Mustang triple line bolsters are being made.  The "Things to Ponder" clues showed a horse with a mounted saddle.  I  believe this run will have a two blade GEC#74 Saddle Trapper knife.  The "Beer & Sausage"  shields have been placed on the Natural Canvas Micarta #35 B&S knives.  

I would like to see the Mustang in the #74 pattern with elk handles.

MAHER & GROSH  GEC#35 SFO   four Choices  !   two bladed jack knives ---- Ebony-wood ---  Cocobolo wood  ----   Appaloosa bone  ----  Antique Yellow Pick Bone  ----  I just bought the Antique Yellow Pick Bone and the Smooth Appaloosa bone M&G   #35  knives.    I emailed M&G and I thanked them for supporting iKC knife forum.   

The Maher & Grosh wavy Antique Yellow Pick jigged bone SFO GEC #35 knives sold out in hours .     I am so glad I did not pussy foot around .  

Well it is 6AM on 9/11/2020 !    It was 19 years ago , all of our lives were changed because of Muslim Terrorist and please do not forget all those that died in Benghazi 9/11/2012 !   -------    I just checked the Maher & Grosh web-sight.    The Appaloosa Bone M&G SFO #35 ("The Trapper" $1.50 Steel) two blade knife is the only ones left. Those won't last long !    

All the M&G #35 knives have vanished in less than 20 hours.   I would guess that would be about 400 knives total.  

It is 6am in the morning.  I opened my email to see that Ken Mundhenk has sent me   package.    I have not ordered anything from Blue Creek Cutlery.   It was my Maher & Grosh Order.   I was very baffled !   Too early in the morning.  I wish I could of bought the cocobolo and the ebony-wood #35 M&G knives.  I needed to save for the better GEC#74 Mustang run and hopefully for GEC#74 Saddle Trappers too.  Blue Creek Cutlery !!!! Did I win other knife from iKC ? No Dummy me !   Baw-ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha !   I had a brain injury in 1989. I aint right in the head ! I am all left !    Baw-ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha ! Thank you Miss Jan !

Great News !   A Pennsylvania Federal Judge has just ruled that scumbag P.A. Governor Tom Wolf is unconstitutional .   Tom Wolf will try to appeal , he has been embarrassed .   Not one "China Virus" death in Titusville , PA.   This ruling will protect W.R. CASE XX/Zippo and Great Eastern Cutlery from Tom Wolf tyranny. I have faith in our small businesses to do the right thing to protect their employees and their customers ! I joined "Knife Rights" last month. ($32 yearly)  "Essential Tools , Essential Rights !" 

love that bar knife ! thanks Ken

GEC has plenty of Bovine Cattle Bone ,now.   All the GEC#23 & #23LL parts have been made.  Two blade #23 Trapper Northfields are being assembled right now. The bone is being processed and applies to the frames.  The #23LL single blade trappers are next.   Antique Autumn Natural bones and Redtail jigged bone with bullets shield !   The #74 Mustang run with four choices will be short with 200 pieces each. A GEC#19 Little Rattler 2.81" closed run with six choices (400 each NOT CONFIRMED) yet

I ate wild pig pork chops and The best sausage sold at the Piggy Wiggly   last night.  I have always eaten my food too fast all my life. I used my GEC#35 B&S ebony-wood  knife and I slowly  enjoyed my food. I have  two GEC#35 B&S Autumn leaf jigged knives coming in the mail.  My neighbor freaked out over my knife.  I told him if both knives look the same , I will give him one. The dark one look more like burnt sierra jigged , I seen some with one white edges and some have really bright colors.   I was drunk , first time in six months.  I hope they both come in different.  I have the best neighbors.  Baw-ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha !

I sent these two  knives to a friend in CA for repair and customizing.  The 2016ish Queen Mountain Man Lock-back jammed the first time I opened it.  My friend fixed it and it opens so much more smoothly now.  I had the main skinner blade removed on this 2020 Northfield  #23 Antique Autumn Natural jigged bone Pioneer Trapper knife.  I love the phat spey blade on this knife.  I use the spey as the main blade on all of my GEC#23 Pioneer Trapper knives. The pull on the single blade Northfield custom is now a 5-6 pull.  The nail nick is on the right side of the blade , so this is the perfect EDC knife for one arm left hand me. 

Looks like he did a great job Ken. I love both the blades but that Spey by its self looks awesome. I've always liked the spey too. Reminds me of the Case Classic Jumbo Trappers. Thanks for sharing. Here's a pic of my 23 in a Autumn setting. 

Richard Schuchman ,  try this first.   Take some gun patches and clean off all that buffing compound in the track , oil and repeat !  Take an old t-shirt and wrap it around the blade.  Work that joint back and forth a thousand times while watching TV. It is a little more difficult with a liner lock.  I do it with one left hand and the knife tween my thighs. Work that knife , rock that blade back and forth.  There is a guy that does knife repairs and custom work on iKC .  I don't want to break any iKC rules.  

     Hey Richard ---   www.schleyscustomknives@gmail.com   This guy supports iKC , check him out first . after you work the blade .

Hey Ralph Nelson , Friend you scored a 10 ! I only spotted one that I liked better. It looked like someone ripped a small patch a dark skin off of it.  These #23 knives are amazing.   I pre-paid for the liner-lock natural bone.  I am waiting on the Redtail jigged #23LL and both will be shipped out together.  Both Northfield GEC#23/23LL knives will be released and shipped out after the yearly shut-down.   The bovine cattle bone is here.   The best GEC knives have not been made yet.  2021 will be even better.

Beautiful looking knives. When do you think they will do another Cotton King type knife. I have one now but I need one for my Uncle Mike. He raises cotton in Kansas. Around 300 acres this year.

I got another Northfield #23 two blade antique natural bone coming in the mail.  And I have the two GEC#23LL Northfield single blades coming too.    Sweating it out on the GEC#74 Mustang knives.  

These 74s turned out great. Who's going to have them available first?

Hey Ralph , These GEC#74 knives are going to be the hardest to find.  200 pieces of each choice.   You are really late for reserves !  Never give up fighting for your dream knife. Go to Every GEC dealer web-sight.  Register and sign in.  Join any kind of notification emails.  I always buy from iKC supporters first , but this time it is all out war. Every dealer will sell out in 5 minutes or less.  The really big dealers that never take reserve orders , they are your only hope right now.  If you have a really good eye-phone , you have a chance.  I have an old jalopy computer. I am still fighting.  Kifer Cutlery is not taking reserves.  iKC supporters !  Ask Mr. Kifer ,"Will he be putting his knives on E-bay ?". Mr. Kifer had problems with people backing out of reserves.  Ask questions to give yourself a better chance. Ask Mr. Kifer his plan ???? "GEC KNIFE COLLECTING IS WAR !"    Evil-bay might be your only chance.

Hey Everybody , I truly believe there will be a GEC#74 Saddle Trapper 200 pieces per choice run is next. (unconfirmed)  "Things to Ponder??" CLUE : a horse with a saddle and two snakes --- That clue aint a #74 Mustang , it has #74 Saddle Trapper two blades all over it.   The GEC#19 Little Rattler schedule was put up and taken down in less that 20 hours. The GEC web master made a boo boo , I believe.  Check the GEC Schedule from 9am to 5pm everyday , multiple times. If you see a GEC#74 Saddle Trapper schedule contact TSA knives , JSR Sports & More , or Blue Creek Cutlery might be able to help you.   Stay alert !

"BOMB SHIELDS"  on the GEC#74 Arizona iron wood Mustang knives.   

Not my photo --- This photo is from a dealer that dropped a #19 red coral canvas micarta knife , today.

"Heads Up !"   JSR Sports and More have  just dropped a batch of GEC#19 Little Rattler red coral canvas knives.   Please support this wonder iKC supporter.
