Do you know what Great Eastern Cutlery just did???
Let me tell you.....
In an effort to help Luca get closer to the magical #50 Buffalo Horn Sunfish, I had asked GEC to include a Prototype in the production run which I would purchase. I told Chris I intended to put the knife up for another Wounded Warrior Project Auction.
Yesterday I called Chris and told her to go ahead and charge me for the Proto whenever. Chris told me she had talked to 'upper management' and the Prototype would be donated by Great Eastern Cutlery for another WWP Auction. This is not the first knife they've donated and I sincerely hope everyone takes note of their generosity and maybe drop a note in the mail saying thanks. I don't know how many other knife companies are willing, or do step up like this, but I think GEC sets a standard for the industry to follow.
It'll be a while before the knives go to production so this auction probably won't take place until summer. I'll be talking about this again as we get closer to auction day and in the mean time, Thank You Great Eastern Cutlery!!

TSA also sets a high standard for distributers. This came about because you Greg, were generous enough with your time to run another auction and generous with the product you represent and sell. I will be sending a personal thank you to GEC, consider this our personal thank you for all you do.

Thanks Jan and I hope more people take the time to tell GEC thanks. I get all kinds of great emails and posts on the blog that express thanks to me for my efforts which I really appreciate. But, I just can't encourage everyone enough to take the time to thank the folks at GEC. It's just to easy to take what they do for granted without acknowledging it.

I went over to the GEC Forum and started a thread under General Discussion entitled "Thanks GEC", if anyone would care to add a comment to it of your own.
Once again, Greg and GEC lead the parade! A gracious gift for a most worthy cause.
