    Hello Ken,
    Just received the Dusk Buffalo Horn Lumberjack this morning, safe and sound. Exceptionally beautiful scales, very happy with the blade and the f&f. Thanks for the great shipping. I'll grab a #57 next, as soon as I make up my mind on which one...LOL. Cheers from Gregroy in OZ....

    Hello Ken, Gregory from Aus here. I'm planning to buy one of your Tuna lockbacks in Ebony wood early in the new week off the Blue Creek website and I wonder if you would mind choosing me one in the darkest wood you have? It's a little hard to pick between them from the photos. I would appreciate your help if it's not too much of a problem. Cheers mate from Gregory...

    Hello Ken,

    We have actually meet before, it was this past year in Lexington @ the knife show. We talked Tuna Valley & GEC for a bit. It was very nice to meet you & thanks for the warm welcome.

    I've been looking around your site over the past couple of days, I have my eye on one of them GEC stag 73's single blades.


    Maybe you could post some of the upcoming 2013 knife shows you plan to attend, it would be nice to catch up with you & one of them.

    Best
    Steve

    Thank you Ken, I was given a Great Eastern a couple of years ago for Christmas and at that point was not familiar with the brand.  The one I got was a Farm & Field tool and what it lacked in looks it more than made up for in quality.  I use it weekly if not daily for various tasks around my shop, primarily for cutting open FedEx boxes and the like.  Then last year the same person got me a Blade Forums #35 "Double End Harness Jack" Limited Production model.  I must say it's a stunner in burnt orange worm groove bone.  I will admit I tend to look at this one more than I use it.  Prior to getting these, my favorite all-time carry knife was (and still is) my WW2 Camillus Navy knife, one that was a rusted-up, broken-tipped basket case when I got it.  After welding a new tip on it, refinishing the pitted and rusted blade, and oiling it up good, it makes a fine 75-year old daily carry knife.  I was telling somebody else on your page that I ate a thick steak with it just yesterday.  While my favorite knife is the old Camillus (for the same reason you love that one-eyed dog you throw in the truck and take home and feed), the Great Eastern line is my favorite line overall..
