for real?

Post by gringo »

so, is it like the add says, and this guy claiming to be a smith is sending off to GEC for his knives to be made?

i picked up one of his knives last night, and he never mentioned a thing about farming out production...?

ok, link is not working in here..i posted the knife elsewhere.

Looks like a GEC tube and GEC pattern. Can't say for sure if they made it or not but I'm sure that they would make it up for you any way you wanted it as a special order. Very nice knife though ::tu::

I am fairly sure those are standard smooth white bone on a GEC frame. Nothing custom about it other than the name / etch. You would think it was primitive bone by the description, but doesn't appear to be.
