I got a call from an individual who had read the recent Blade Magazine article featuring Great Eastern Cutlery.  During our conversation, he found out I was a fan and a seller of the Fallkniven line.  He asked if I was familiar with the Tre Kronor from Fallkniven that was advertised on page 31 of the article.  The short version is that he bought a GEC and had me order a Tre Krono TK1 for him. 

I'm sitting here looking at it with a burning desire to take it out and cut something.  What a gorgeous knife.  The presentation box it ...<< MORE >>

Not sure how many of you get Blade Magazine, but...if you get a chance, pick one up and read the article starting on page 28 in the January 2009 issue.  It's a terrific article about Great Eastern Cutlery with some really nice pix.

So.... how does this affect any of you?  Let me give you a tip.  The magazine was distributed on the East Coast the first of the week and I hadn't gotten a copy yet.  On Tuesday, I started getting requests for Great Easterns that were pictured in 'the article' in Blade mag.  I didn't have a clue what they were ...<< MORE >>

Just in time for Christmas I'm told!!!

There's a brand new Great Eastern coming out that's going to be called a "3 Back Spring Whittler" which I'm going to refer to as the 3BSW.  Understand there'll be more details coming soon, but at this is point this info is about as fresh as your gonna get!

My understanding is the size of the knife will be close to the 54's.  It will originally be offered with a Clip blade as the main blade on one end with it's own spring.  On the other end will be a long Spey and long Pen blade each ...<< MORE >>

Just got in the 73 Jacks.  The Northfields are in Burnt Stag with a Spey and Pen blade, while the Tidioute's are Hemlock Green Bone with the New Style Shield.  If you order the Burnt Stags and have a serial number preference, please include a second and third choice.

GEC is making a run of just 29 Tidioute #25 Jacks with a SHEEPSFOOT and a Pen Blade, both regular pulls.  Originally, these were going to be unnumbered, but I purchased all but a handful of them and requested that they number them.  The last I knew, they will be serial numbered with a COA stating the total run quantity.    They'll feature the Acrylic Patriot Handles which will be the last standard production run knives made with the Patriot material.  On top of that, they'll feature the old style Shield rather then the new Hourglass (or corset) shield. 

This is going to be a ...<< MORE >>

As I mentioned in an earlier entry, GEC made a special run of just 22 knives in Red Wine Bone continuing the Bronco Charlie Commemorative Series.  In 2007 they made 76 knives in Horsecut Walnut and 96 in Buffalo Horn as part of a run of 250 knives.  This run of Red Wine Bone is by far the lowest production variation yet in this series.  Great looking knife with the 'old' Northfield blade etch, swedged blade and 235108 tang stamp.
