Can't wait for these Eureka Jack's to be released :D

I noticed you're in Honesdale Mike, looking forward to get back there this summer. I never miss the Roots and Rhythm festival downtown, with a stop off at Day's Bakery for some goodies on the way back to the lake in Wayne County. My wife always has to pull me away from their old fashioned Case display too :mrgreen:

Cheers,
Griff

Update on the Eureka's, the boxes that we are putting the knives in will be in my hands next Wed and so will the labels!! The certificates will be in by the end of next week and the knives should arrive right after that, I can't wait to get them and ship them out. Only have 6 stag knives left and one set just opened up for sale. It was a hold for someone that did not work out.

Thanks for all the support and business on these. Mike & Derek

Hi All, here is the latest update on the knives sorry but they are delayed at GEC!!! :( :( Derek just posted this on the website. Here is the link to see the new box label.

Update on Eureka Jack production schedule.

Posted on February 26, 2013


Update on the Eureka’s, the boxes that we are putting the knives in will be in my hands next Wed and so will the labels!! The certificates will be in by the end of next week.

Unfortunately the factory is now saying we won’t have the finished knives until mid March. This is disappointing news since I can’t wait to get them in my hands and ship them out. (Only have 6 stag knives still available).

Thanks for all the support and business on these. Sorry about the delay, Mike & Derek

Thanks for the understanding all. I just recieved the boxes and labels for the knives. In the picture below the top 2 boxes are old ones from my collection and the bottom one is a new one that the knives will be coming in when they come in!! I really like the way that they look. Tell me what you think, Mike & Derek.

The GEC website has some new pics of the knives in process - the cocobolo sure looks pretty after being cleaned up a little, and the stag is nice also!

I am really getting ansy now about getting the knives!!! Just checkout this picture I was sent showing one of the first Rosewood??? knives to come off the line at GEC. The color of the wood is WAY better then I could have ever imagined. On the site seeing all the wood handles and all the different shades in them has really got me going!! So much so that when Donna saw it she said we are not selling any we are keeping them all LOL ::ds:: ::ds::
