All About Pocket Knives

Thanks Mike ____you"" Da' Man""_________so from what I get,from the GEC web. site,______ is,they made 227 Great Eastern #23 pattern knives,and Ken has #217 serial number,which has the Casein Open House Special,scales on it and they only put that Casein handles on, 10 knives______

We shall all learn together,as we proceed on this journey________""THANKS""________Monk

PS______________ain't this a great site

Perhaps some other guy with the GEC Grand Open knife the only 11 were made and see what serial number he has in his bolster.
GEC 23 Pioneer Ivory Casien 2006 # 217 SS OPEN HOUSE.

Thanks mike and big monk I do understand now the way big monk said it. It just did not sink in the first time I read mikes answer.

Yes the GREEN one is a 2006 acrylic. I picked up 3 others also and have them in my safe. It was that I have this photo of the GREEN one and no knife is all. I was trying to figger out why.

All of this confusion is caused by me putting them in my DANDY STORE. I want to get things RIGHT.

Ken

here is my 2006 casein #212 of 11

I haven't looked for it; but there was a thread some time back with all these same details. Seems like someone even posted exactly which numbers were the caseins....

Hi Bryan do you have any thing to add to this????

Please jump in now and say some thing...

Ken or justold52

Got "'LUCKY"" and found these Red Stags

They were produced,back in July,and most were bought up pretty fast,before most of us knew,they were even made

I now have a new ""Favorite GEC""

Monk those are some of the nicest Red Stag's I've seen... ...you know it's pure torture for me to look at these....

So they came out in July...dang it, that's about the time I got back in country....I wonder how many were made...?

Bob____from what I have been able to find out,less than 40 were made,and the only others,( 3 ) that I have seen,don't have serial numbers?? There is nothing on the blades ,about,being 1 0f 50 or the likes ????

If anyone,knows more about these,please post ???? I read a little ,about them,on BladesForum.com,although,I'm not a member,and can not post_____so much,for asking those guys--------THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INFO,YOU MIGHT SHARE ______________Monk

On the NF #72 Red Stag serialized the back side of the blade is etched 1 of 25, the non-serialized version I don't know the numbers, but if we want to keep tabs add one n/s.....

They started serializing the first 25,then the others,were not----I think they were going to make 25 un-serialized,but sometimes end up short or over that number, depending on materials available----count won't come out till mid 2011 ????

I've allways had a soft spot for toothpick's...these #12's by GEC are neat little knives.

I thought I'd get them together for a group picture before they go into winter hibernation.
I hope you guy's enjoy them.

Bob

never been a follower of the toothpick, but that is one heck of a picture of a group of them!

welder bob you may be GEC,s biggest customer ! what part of the ozarks ya in ? iam in lebanon.

Hey CB, I'm sure there are others that would put me to shame...but I do my part...

Lebanon you say...I'm just south of you in Texas Co.

o ok down around houston mo, i work at durham in lebanon, and they have a plant there in houston also. i just noticed someone on the AAPK store has a new release 66 2 blade jack already.

WelderBob I never liked any toothpicks untill I went to GEC factory. Dang it it I came home with 2 . These are gr8 knives and I now have five 12s.

I see 2 of your's have the acorn on them. Is it safe to say they are Stainless Steel?

Found this older Great Eastern,#73 Scout Trapper________some pretty "'Ivory Casien"" scales,that would fool you,for the real Ivory____

After I saw Ken's__ #23 pattern_____I had to have one ________but in the smaller #73 version

If you see one more like your please let me know.

I will call them mom and dads Ivory GECs (23 & 73).

Who knows?? Perhaps if the temp it right in my floor safe I will get babys.

Love that acorn....

Hey Ken your right, the Elk and one Bone with the acorn are stainless...I think it's a classy shield...

Better be carefull puting those two together...no telling what you'll end up with...
