Great Eastern Cutlery
Great Eastern Cutlery (GEC) specializes in highly collectable and premium quality usable pocket knives, hunting knives and kitchen knives. GEC is noted for it's American craftsmanship and traditional hands on manufacturing methods and is located in Titusville, PA at the site formerly known as Cyclops Specialty Steel.
The historic building is open to the public where you can observe skilled craftsman at work in a unique and panoramic manufacturing environment. These are highly crafted traditional knives handled with exotic hardwoods, North American cattle bone and Genuine stag. The jigging is also done on site in the GEC bone works.
The blades of these quality knives are crafted from either high carbon steel or stainless steel and have tang stamps that include Tidioute Cutlery, Northfield UN-X-LD and Great Eastern Cutlery. The company also makes other knife brands on contract.
The company's higher end line is generally made with the Northfield trademark while its more affordable line carries the Tidioute trademark. The GEC brand is normally reserved for stainless steel bladed knives.
