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.
Does your friend work on other people's knives, too? I have the 23LL beavertail and it's a nail breaker. I bought a pouch, which I like, but its cumbersome for edc.
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 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.
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 !
"HEADS UP ! JSR SPORTS & MORE Has WOODLAND MICARTA & BEAVER GNAWED CHERRYWOOD GEC#23LL SINGLE BLADE LINER LOCK knives in stock at the release date prices. "RIGHT NOW" 5.16PM 11/21/20
8:56 PM JSR SPORTS & MORE still has the Woodland micarta #23LL liner lock single blade Pioneer Trapper. I would of bought both. But I need more #19 Little Rattlers and the 2020 Viper#47s will be out soon. I only bought sixteen #23/23LL 2020 Pioneer Trappers. I have gone fool for GEC knives.
I just went back to JSR & Sports and the Rattler #19 Kingwood knife is still in stock. I told Mr. Jamie that I wanted to buy a second GEC#38 Special in tractor green for the child that makes straight AAAs in private school , earlier this year. Hank's two older brothers brought home a C for the first time. College courses must be at least a "B" to count. They can easily make an "A" and bring that up. Goofing off with football and no studying. They get nothing , maybe some old used knives. The little one is getting the perfect GEC knife for himself. I tell people all the time , if you want God to bless you with better knives , give a nice one away to the deserving. It works for me. JSR has a about 6/7 GEC#38 Special green & 4 GEC#38 Red bone knives left at the original low release date price. This #38 Special knife is perfect for a young child or wife's purse. The pull is a 5 and not a nail breaker. I love to carry mine daily. We all need to support our iKC supporter GEC dealers through these dark days ahead.
JSR Sports & More has seven GEC#19 Little Rattler Blue Teal Natural bone knives in stock. JSR is an iKC supporter . JSR always has the lowest prices and they never go up . I bought two GEC#38 Special Tractor Green knives at 2017 prices. Mr. Jamie is Jam Up !
I love Blue Creek Cutlery . Ken Mundhenk is wonderful. I bought some nice NOS GEC knives from Ken Mundhenk in 2020. And I scored two Maher & Grosh knives. I just bought an Arizona Ironwood GEC#47 Viper to go with my GEC#74 Ironwood Mustang. I still can't believe the GEC#81 Osage Orange with the knothole. I pussy footed a year on that knife before I pulled the trigger. As soon as I bought it , the three other same knives disappeared. I love to buy the last knife , that way you know it is a blessing from GOD !
I almost forgot about the late dropped #93s and #86 knives. Ken Mundhenk put out a late #GEC93 Rams Foot "Black" Oily Creek bone knife during the shutdown and I snagged it. Ken Mundhenk also dropped a late Oil Field Jack GEC#86 Oil Field Jacks in Oil Sucker Rod wood and another #86 in natural micarta. I missed the GEC#86 Oil sucker rod wood knife at the release date price. I ended up with the last one with the lowest price , from Ken. I let everybody know about the other knife that was available . That is what I do. It is more fun to help others score the knives of their dreams. "Thank You Jesus !" Please support our iKC supporters !
Congrats on the Viper score. I've been reaching out to blue creek for the last 2 months and no luck with the viper drop. I had to buy my first Viper from secondary market for double the price.
JSR Sports and More sent me an invoice for an Ironwood #47 Viper. Looks like am going to end up with three ironwood #47s . I have the Black Plum jigged bone #47/#74. I turned down an extra Black plum #74. I bought one Brown Burlap micarta #74. I bought three Arizona ironwood #74s and three ironwood #47 Vipers. I scored the phattest ugliest #74 Sambar Stag that I asked for and love. I have one #47 Sambar Stag on Pre-order. I scored an AAPK club knife. I think I scored the last one. "Blessings from God"
I am on the look out for the next GEC schedule. I will send out emails to dealers that might help me. Then I come straight to iKC , and I will give yall the scoop first. I have never sold or traded a knife in my life. I spend my time helping others score the knife of their dreams. This aint easy , it has taken me three years to learn how by knives on the web. I still don't know what I am doing. I have an old computer . You just can't give up. "GREAT EASTERN CUTLERY KNIFE COLLECTING IS WAR ! "

Not sure how many people here have heard of YouTuber Advanced Knife Bro, but he's one of the most hilarious & intelligent knife reviewers on that platform. Whether you agree or not, it's still worth checking out this video of his recent love for GEC knives (he's usually a tactical / camp knife reviewer). And if the following video doesn't catch your fancy, check out some of his other videos (he's got a lot of them, & most are far shorter than this on).
