As of noon 5/25/09, I've been informed that the Production Total sheet that GEC put up on their website is going to be revised as there are a number of errors that need correcting.  When the corrections are complete, I'll republish them on our site as well. 


This is an extremely valuable tool for the collector as GEC is one of the few companies I'm aware of that gives total, actual production numbers for their knives.  A number of different things can affect production and just because 50 knives are projected in a run, it can end up being a total of 9 or 10!  That can make a huge difference in a knife's desirability as a collectible.  It can also explain why a certain knife is so hard to find or why a collector may be asking what seems like an incredible premium. 

Whenever I've been aware that a specific knife is only being run in a very small quantity, I try to post that information on the blog or on my inventory sheet.  In a few instances, those knives may sit for a long time before anyone takes notice.  In the few short days the '08 production totals have been out, I've sold a lot of low production knives including 6 to one buyer.  So be aware, collectors do pay attention to this information.
