GEC Knives are an Auction Highlight at the Spirit of Steel Show Nov 5, 6 & 7!!
Not sure how many of you can make the Spirit of Steel Show in Knoxville, TN coming up, November 5, 6 and 7 but it just came to my attention that there are a pair of pretty incredible Great Eastern Knives being offered at auction. The knives were donated by Great Eastern Cutlery and the procedes are going to the National Knife Museum.
You can bid onlne if you're interested by going to the Spirit of Steel Website. www.spiritofsteel.com I'd really like to see the two knives up close. When you realize how big the slabs of Mammoth Ivory are on those Sunfish, they have to be pretty dramatic. I've requested permission to post the photo of the knives on the blog, but you can also check them out at: Spirit of Steel

And if one of you readers is lucky enough to win the auction(s), let's hear about it!

Wow! those knives look fantastic. I would love to go to this show, but it will not happen this year.

Anyone care to take a guess at what the winning bid for those #36s might be?
I take it that they are being auctioned as a pair.
My experience says that sometimes benefit autions bring more than they might otherwise but then WHAT DO I KNOW?
Would $2,500.00 be a fair guess?
More?
Less?

Good one!!! How about a free Halloween Poster to the closest guess. We'll take your lead and If they go individually, we'll add the sale prices together for the total.

That'll be fun!
I just sent an e-mail to bruce@jbrucevoyles.com for a clarification as to whether they'll be offered as a pair or individually.
When I get a response, I'll post the answer here.
I'd love to get my hands on the bark ivory example.

Here's the e-mail reply I received from Bruce:
"not sure actually, I'll have to ask. Right now I suspect as a pair."

Thanks! Keep us up to date. For now, we'll base the winning guess on the "total" sale price for both knives.

So what's your best guess as to what will be the winning bid?
If you win you can send the poster to the person who comes in second.

hmmmmmm...... I'm gonna say $1200. As fickle as this market has been the last year, it's hard to say. The thing that will make this interesting is the money is going to a good cause and hopefully that'll make folks dig a little deeper.

Let see. I just got in, missed all the excitement at Philly airport. Left there at 9am. I am going to say 1050.00. Good to be home, checking all all the entries. Will be sending in my picture for the other contest soon.
