Re: Engraved Knife Handles -Artist's Name

Maybe "etching" or "scrimshaw" are more correct terms for her work.

Engraved Knife Handles -Artist's Name

Does anyone know the name of the woman who used to engrave subjects and scenes on pocket knife handles? I've forgotten her name. As I recall, she mostly worked with Case knives. But she also engraved GECs. I passed up a chance about 10 years ago to buy a peanut with a trout engraved on its handle. I...

Re: 19 Little Rattler

I scored 4 Little Rattlers. 1- red coral micarta 1-white bone 1-blue teal 1-kingwood. I plan to give each of my 3 grandsons a knife and keep one for myself to carry. I'm a fan of small knives although most of my GEC collection consists of large pocket knives. I've been collecting GEC knives since ab...

Re: GEC#29 Stockyard Whittler knife 2019

The 29 stags seem to me to be fairly expensive. I was able to find the last one at a dealer site for $149.00. I saw that another dealer had sold out of his small allotment for $159.

92 Antique Calico Jigged Bone

Last night, TSA Knives opened reservation opportunities for their special order #92. Required a $10 non-refundable deposit with an anticipated delivery date of September.
I took a chance and ordered one. Sold out quickly.
I don't think I've seen antique calico jigged bone handles. Have you?

TSA Knives just listed about one dozen of the Stockyard Whittlers in its online store.
Nice looking knives and about 3 of them have been sold already.

That looks like an open crack.

Re: Tuna Valley still alive!

I missed out on a beautiful Tuna Valley stag humpback whittler this morning on eBay. My high bid was $202.00 and it went for $240.00. I believe there were 2 other bidders. That's a pretty lofty price and lots of last minute action, in my opinion, considering that it sold on a weekday at 11:30am. I k...

Re: GEC # 97

I received the 97 stag today that I "bought blind" off of eBay from Circle A Knives.
I'm very happy with it.
Nice, fat stag with lots of character.
Sides match fairly well.
Fairly easy pull but I'm good with that.
Nice transaction.
Good service, beautiful knife.

Buy it, receive it, inspect it, and keep it if you like it. If not, put it up for sale and I'm certain that you'll make a profit regardless of your opinion of its appearance. I have a 97 stag enroute that I "bought blind" from 'Circle A Knives that I intend to handle in the above fashion. ...

You are very welcome. I've been buying GEC kives from TSA for years.
The owner, Greg, is a very good guy.
He delivers quickly and if you have a problem, he can be easily contacted by email or phone and he'll resolve any issues fairly.
