Where can I pre-order a #46 Whaler?

GEC specializes in highly collectable and premium quality usable pocket knives. The company's USA manufactured knives have quickly proven to be a big hit with both collectors and users who seek quality American craftsmanship.

Greg, he had the reservations up and marked as "Sold Out" for quite awhile. Must have taken it down recently.

LSS152 You just wait till you try to get in on a Northwoods release. Talk about leaving you discombobulated and dizzy. You won't believe it. ::cb::

I know i keep harping on it, but, Where are the Muscle Bone Whalers ? GEC finished these and shipped them out over one week ago, maybe even 2 weeks. However very few have shown up on dealer sites. For example: KSF is one of the 2 largest GEC dealers yet they have not posted any MB Whalers. Only 2 or 3 dealers, have posted the MB Whalers and being smaller GEC dealers they had only a few.
So, where are the Muscle Bone Whalers and why are they not being listed for sale ?
It is a mystery; what is going on ?

And now available at KSF.

Edit: i am about 10 posts late with this announcement.
So many dealers put the MB Whalers up for sale at the exact same time, there must have been collusion, maybe to help thwart flippers.

It will be interesting to see how long they last today. I also wonder what the production numbers were.

Here is the muscle bone I ordered from Collectors Knives, I'm thinking I like this better than the iron wood.

Collector Knives must have gotten some extra allocations as their reservations have been closed for months.

I was thinking that the ones that I am seeing for sale at CK are much cheaper than the others, but I now see that they have cosmetic issues.

Well the horn sounding by all of the AAPK watch dogs worked to perfection today and I would like to thank and commend all who participated. If you wanted one and didn't get one today, shame on you. ::handshake:: :D
