Re: Vintage Rigid fixed blade knife

That is a Rigid Ripper model. Whether it is a USA Hand Made version or later Japanese made version I can't tell. The Stamp, where it is placed, examination of the Sheath, etc would tell us more. If you happen to have a copy of "Gun Digest Book of Knives" (1st Ed 1973) you can refer to page...

Re: Perry Miller MIA?

I spoke with him about 3 weeks ago. I'd say he is just busy buyin & sellin and getting ready for the BLADE show. Give him a couple of days to answer and if you have to try again.

Good on ya for checkin in with him.

Since I'm patial to GEC's I will recommend the #23.

I think Queen has done a really good job with Dan's models I just prefer the GEC.

Re: Great Eastern Model 23 / Remington R-1123

Thanks guys.

Paul- Your quite right about the prices. :mrgreen: In 1925 the Remington would have sold for approx $2.25 Now keep in mind what other things were costing then;

Bread $.09 lb
Coffee $.50 lb
Suger $.35 5 lbs
Corn Meal $.06 lb
Oranges $.57 doz

Times have certainly changed.

Well, GEC has brought forth their first Lockback. The pattern seems to be based on the Remington Bullet (complete with Thong Hole). I have heard that there will be two sizes, the first to arrive is the Mini - which is still plenty large enough at 3 7/8" closed. Here is the Release fresh off the...

Well you were right, the numbers should be completed by mid March or early April. There are still a few short runs that need to be completed and those call for the remainder of the '09 blades so the Totals can't be tallied until these are complete. If I get them before they are posted I will put the...

To be honest I've never used one with the 440C steel, the only two I carry both have 1095.

I'm sure someone will post here with some firsthand experience, or perhaps you could ask the same question in the GEC Forum.
