All About Pocket Knives

I don't know either Ken but my blade has the same etching on it as yours and a 35 on the bolster. Maybe I got the very last one?

Ken,there were #35 pcs. made of the #735108 American Elk, during the "'Factory Test Production Run""______ You got a very nice one,with,low serial number

I have a 2008,second cut stag,#53 Cuban Stockman,serial #24 of 24 pcs. (Factory Test Production Run )

They made a #53 Cuban Stockman,in American Elk,that was regular production,but only 29 pcs. I have serial#13 of 29 pcs.

Again,that is """A DANDY"" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Monk, I have the 08 53 Cuban Stockman in American Elk as well. #23, but on the blade it is etched 1 of 50. Was that 50 08 Cuban Stockmans being made and of that 50, 29 were American Elk? Smoke

PS. I also have the 08 Muskcrat in American Elk. Marked 48. How many of them were made? Thanks Smoke

Hey Smoke___you can't believe the blade etch,on the GEC's____ we,just have to go to the prodution total page,on their web. site___the blade etch,says 1 of 50,but only, 29pcs. were made (all serialized)_______on your 53M Muskrat,there were 50pcs.serialized and 63 pcs, without serial numbers __hope this ""helped "" a little__??????? Monk scroll down the page to the Great Eastern Totals *****

Ken, that is a beautiful knife. I know I, and I'm sure several other AAPK members were eyeballin' that baby. I don't think you paid too much at all. They won't be makin' any more of 'em, so, it's like waterfront property... That's all there is... and there ain't no more! So I say... for Justold52!!!!

Thanks Monk!

WOW some more Malibu water front propery...

Both sides are well matched with that Ivory Elk look.

Here is the back side photo.

Now I am very happy just to get this one and not to out bid any AAPKs on it....

She came today. WOW she is worth all I paid for her.

Thanks you all for helping me understand the Factroy Run stuff...

My most recent elks.

While rummaging around in the safe I found a pair of Elk's that I'd forgot about, 23 Great Eastern made in 2008.

I wish they would make some with a single clip blade.....

WelderBob.....


If rummaging brings beautiful Elk like that out,rummage more

Nice ones Bob!! Good to see ya posting Hope everything went well in Cleburne.

Thank's guys...I'm still rummaging Jim, hope I find some more.

Earl the job went very well...and I'm glad to be home....

GREAT EASTERN #735108 American Elk

I sure am hunger for some more American Elk handles...

I would like any one to PM me if they come out with NEW ones.

Ken

Sure Ken! How about a 721111 lined bolster, one of seven made in 2011, and a 720111, one of six. I was very fortunate to snap these up from KSF when they came out! I had no idea they were so scarce at the time, and apparently, neither did Derek. I'm sure GEC will be making more of the lined bolster 72 elks in the future!

Barry....

That is fitting Elk in the wild......plus prime Elk too

WOW THOSE look like a DANDY set of GECs.

Are the back sides like the front?

Ken

sure do love the American Elk............

Those are absolutely beautiful!!!

I couldn't imagine owning something like that. WOW

Paul.....


Great pair and the Elk is really looking good on these 48's....

Those are CRAZY nice Paul!! BIG Congrats on em

IM

Thanks guys... does anyone know about the letter on the boxes . what e and d stands for ?....

I think the letters on them are just a way to keep track of the un-serialized knives.
Some of the dealers add the letter to the end of the Item# in thier stores so they send the actual
knife you bought.......and don't have to go look again. I think thats the main reason anyway.

.....such as "Item#: 488212EC-AE-C" from Ken's store.


IM

You're right Trevor___I got the one with ""F"" on the tube***__just a way to,mark the inventory ***

thanks ....so i can mix them up on my end and it don't matter......
