GEC Primitive Bone knives are very scarce!

I have a friend who saw mine and is frothing at the mouth for one of his own, so I did a very thorough search, on all the AAPK stores here and on E-Bay....with ZERO results. Looks like they've all been snatched up, either by collectors or dealers who are waiting till the prices escalate dramatically.

So....in spite of the initial "issues" I had with mine, if any of you know of one for sale, please inform me and I'll pass the info along to my friend Leroy in California. He's wanting a #23.

Thanks
Dewey

As per the #23, and especially with the transition blades; there are none that I have seen for some time.

I have #73's, with and without EC's; but not the #23's. And I know distributor's that never got any in the first place.

I have two 73s in primitive bone, and stuff is outstanding! I can see why it's so popular.

Hey dewman, Bill Horn aka mint set man has the Primitive bone knife in a #73 model, a couple actually. Go to the New Product Announcements section and look for mint set man and click on his link to Cumberland Knife Works.
BAM, thats it. Merry Christmas.

I guess I should count my self as being among the lucky ones. My #23 Primitive Bone has the 2006/2007 transitional blades and is numbered #13! And yes, she sleeps with me on many of these cold wintery nights when my wife is down in Boise working.

Maybe he snagged it already... If not somebody got a good one.

Did you get 10 originally?

Yes. But I ended up sending 5 or so back because of cracks at the pins.
