Those look great! Are they the double bladed ones? I'd love to get one of the single bladed ones but just discovering now how you have to consult the GEC ouija board to find out what's being released before it's a gleam in a knife makers eye and then preorder sight unseen and price unknown.

Here's my 23's so far. I was on the list at Frank's, but didn't make the cut.

Makes total sense to me. I mean the SFO's are certainly a cool collector aspect but that stuff has to be a logistics nightmare from a production standpoint and if it's watering down/ hindering the GEC brand itself by consuming material priorities then that's definitely a potential marketing issue in the long run.

Kenneth,

I agree.  If we go back to the first years of GEC, the handle materials were distinct to that company.  No one else was offering Primitive Bone, Bubbinga wood with a Beaver shield, snakewood, the looking glass materials.  All of those in 2010 meant Great Eastern, Northfield and Tidioute.  So yes, better choices not more grew them, it should be able to sustain them

Beautiful knives for sure.

No more GEC , SFO , Northwoods , Club or Forum SFO knives.  The bigger dealers are hogging up the best bone color , saw cut , and wood choices.   GEC needs to offer better choices , not more choices.  Dealers need to sell out in weeks after release .  Bill Howard knows what he is doing .   I am supporting GEC the best I can in the future.  Please support our iKC dealers.

I just received my invoice on the GEC#23 SFO .  Mr. Frank picked me out the darkest , thickest , and winter-bottom style jigging in the bunch.

        I talked to Mr. Frank , these Exotic India bone knives are sold out and 32 buyers wanted two.  I wanted an extra one to remove the main blade for EDC.  Everybody gets only one.  I bought the last Northfield #Pioneer Trapper Antique Autumn natural bone and I am going to have the main blade removed.  The secondary phat beefy spey blade is wonderful for chores.   iCK forum supporter : "JSR Sports & More" has the first three #23s in stock right now at the best release date prices.  Woodland micarta , Beaver gnawed jigged cherry wood , and Northfield #23 Antique autumn natural bone two blade Jumbo Trappers   !
