Will There Be More Northwoods ?

The Northwoods Knife brand name originated in Gladstone, Michigan when a man named Dave Shirley adopted it as his knife company's name in 2004. Dave was well known for collaborating with popular knife companies to have knives made to his specifications for resale well before 2004 & beyond. KnivesShipFree bought Northwoods from Dave & has continued to team up with respected makers to produce knives marked with the Northwoods brand name.

Will There Be More Northwoods ?

Post by kootenay joe »

The Northwoods brand has established itself as premium brand and for the past number of years have been made by GEC.
Some months ago GEC said they will no longer make SFO's for other brands. Does this mean no more Northwoods ?
Does anyone know what the plans are for Northwoods knives ?

I think GEC will still make Northwoods, we've recently seen Charlie's TC 15 Barlow Sepia and now they are doing a 38 club knife for OKCA. Time will tell.

It is possible that GEC had already agreed to making these 2 knives before they announced no more SFO's.
Would certainly be great to see more GEC made Northwoods.

I think Bill Howard might treat the Northwoods line a little differently. In my opinion, Northwoods seems more like a brand name than an SFO with a dealer's name on it.
