Price check on isle 3, price check on isle 3!
I just ordered a GEC knife last Friday on Blade H.Q. so I know they can be ordered at the prices listed on the website. It is not always easy to find one, but it can be done. I have bought 4 other ones from BHQ, over the past year and all were GEC knives for the listed price. So, maybe I am missing something.

Re: Price check on isle 3, price check on isle 3!
I was unaware that BladeHQ had GEC knives. Looks like they are still selling these at the MAP prices that dealers use to sell GEC knives for. Now most are selling them at or above the full suggested retail price. One dealer sells his on eBay in auctions and gets a lot for them. I’m surprised they haven’t jacked their prices up too.
I have an account set up with BHQ but don’t receive any emails about drops on GEC knives, is it possible to receive those? I only get generic emails from them.

Are you finding available to purchase GEC knives on the Blade HQ website for $595? Because I cannot replicate that if so.

To make the posting clearer, I am showing B.H.Q.'s price and then also a "re-seller's (I guess) price. As you can see there is a slight difference (about 600%1967redrider wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 1:34 pm Are you finding available to purchase GEC knives on the Blade HQ website for $595?

Ok, gotcha. My opinion is a reseller charge whatever he or she likes; doesn't mean I'm going to buy it.
