Here is what I have received over the last few days. All GEC 35’s. 4 Maher and Grosh and 2 Beer and Sausage knives. I think these Maher and Grosh 35’s are some of the best GEC has made, they are that good.

Seller responded that he had been in an automobile accident and had been in the hospital. Okay. Stuff happens. The next thing I know, the auction was cancelled. Say whaaaa? I applied for and after much going's on, received a refund. Today the knife showed up in my mailbox. I'm pleased but very confused. So I sat down and wrote the seller a check for the knife and shipping. I'll get that in tomorrow's mail. Very confusing but I'm glad to get the knife.

But other than that, it puts on a very good show. It makes a nice addition to my EDC's. (It's a thin Line between Showcase & EDC)

It has two stamps Port. USA & Ireland. My guess is that Coast contracted these out to be produced in Ireland & then maybe assembled in Portland which would explain the ( 1/2 - 1mm ) difference between liners & springs. But I'm just guessing on that. Other than that one point, the F&F is very nice.

(FYI) The same seller also has two Coast knives with double stamps but they are stamped Port. USA & Japan and both have bone handles.

Anyways, here are some bad pictures of it. Take Care & Thanks for looking!

Tom,

As best as I have been able to determine, Coast Cutlery has NEVER made a knife. Everything that I have seen with their name on could be traced back to some maker - Western, Imperial, Camillus,etc. Western made fixed blades for them starting back in the 1950s.

I got a new one today. Madmarco is influencing me. This is a CRKT called the CEO. It’s designed to be worn in your shirt pocket like a pen and it’s just about the same size as a pen. The slender blade is amazingly sharp. The carbon fiber handles are really nice looking. It will deploy out completely with a little practice. My fear is that when it moves out and my thumb slips off the thumbstud and the blade is not fully deployed, I will slice my thumb. Not a knife to hand to a friend to try out, unless you carry bandages with you. I think the slender design works against it if you have fat thumbs. Still, I really like this knife and intend to carry it.

Prices range from about 40 to 65 depending on where you get it. Not bad really.
