Matchstrike sounds "'awesome"" !!!!!!____and maybe ""Rat Tail Bolster""??????? with some awesome bone jigging ???? ___ Mike, I got one of your photos,to show off that Carrier Eureka__that's the one I really like !!!!___________________the wait is on !!

Matchstriker main blade but no rattail yet, maybe on the next one. The bolsters will not be plain though.

Here's and update on the knives.

They are to have all steel construction as the first knife did. The handles will be 50 Stag and 50 Rosewood. The spring for the secondary coping blade will come all around to the front, this is a feature on older knives and custom made knives that we just had to have on this knife. Matchstriker long pull on the main blade and we are toying with having a second pull on the main blade at the front.

More to follow in a few days, Mike

Thanks for the thoughts on the double nail nick Jody, you are the 4th person that told me that you would rather they not be on the blade so they are gone!!

OK here is the latest scoop on the Eureka knives GEC will be making. If some of you noticed on GEC's website the Rosewood handles and were wonderring why none of the first knives we made had Rosewood handles for sale please go to our website and you will see where they came from and why. The Eureka will have these handles on them and let me tell you I can't wait till they are done. The handles came from the old Cattaraugus factory that my friend and I found there. To have them put on a knife that is marked JBF Champlin for us is BIG. Please let us know what you think of the article and knives that are going to be made with them.

Thanks to all the people that are following and encouraging us on this project and I will have an update later this week about what will be in the package with each knife also.

Mike & Derek

Some really amazing people & stories on this site

Just read the article and the source of the rosewood scales. Very neat.

You have pricing info on these new ones yet? Has the double pull feature been scrapped?

galvanic1882 · Post by **galvanic1882** » Tue Jan 22, 2013 6:56 pm

Double pull is scrapped and you can email me about orders and pricing at [email protected]

Thanks for the interest, Mike

Earl · Post by **Earl** » Tue Jan 22, 2013 10:24 pm

You and Derek must be stoked. Congrats and man what a thrill to follow this venture with you fellas.

Donna would rather stay behind the camera, not in front of it!!!

Thanks 1 and you are so right!!!

Another update on what the Eureka's will look like. They will be marked JBF Champlin over GALVANIC on the main blade tang and deep etched on the face of the main blade will be GALVANIC. The lettering will be an older type, of course. Galvanic was an early mark used by JBF in about 1882. Stay tuned as we will have one more announcement on what will be in the package with each knife. No wiping cloths this time!!!

I will be posting the next info on the knives in the advertising section. I am not sure if I should have posted info on the GEC specific forum if it's about selling. Please forgive me if thats the case.

galvanic1882 · Post by **galvanic1882** » Sun Feb 03, 2013 3:11 pm

Figured I would show a picture of the etch that Derek is working on for the Eureka's!!!

I do like that font. Gives it that real old time look. Good choice.
