Well my knife finnaly arrived. I ordered a Northfield sunfish # 36 with a crimson grizzly handle. The knife  appears to be of good quality and heavy duty and well built. I am not dissapointed at all. The last time I ordered a knife from someplace which I wont mention here, I wasn't overly thrilled with what I received. This knife seems like it be be a great work knife though it seems too pretty to use.

 

 It also doesn't appear to be difficult to open and has a tight fit and seems to reasonably secure in place when open. Both blades seem razor sharp out of the box. My big concern now is how this bone handle will hold up when / if dropped. I also hope this company offers great customer service in the event I should ever need a repair. I will more than likely order another knife from this company.  I give this a two thumbs up. This is a good knife and I am happy with what I have.

Actually as much as I hate to mention names my last knife was from a company called Canal Street Cutlery. Please don't get me wrong I like the knife, but I do not think it's as nice as this sunfish.

By the way I keep meaning to ask everyone. I normally use 3-In-One oil on my knives. What does everyone else use and suggest?

Donald,

I am so pleased that you were able to give them 2 thumbs up.  I will tell you that the customer service is excellent.  If you have any issues just call them, talk with Chris and she will get you taken care of.  They have a great reputation for pride in not only their product but also their service.  By the way, the biggest problem I have ever had with a GEC, is finding one that is not to pretty to use.

I sale 5 to 10 Great Easterns weekly and a GEC is the only knife I carry. I have customers that buy there first Great Easterns call me all the time to Thank me for the knife or to even order more but I am yet to have one person call me and and say they don't like the product. Or regret buying one. Not once. I am so glad to here about your recent purchase and how pleased you are with the quality.
