All About Pocket Knives

I think 39.

68 officially as of yesterday 02/03.

Re "custom level quality": GEC keeps getting closer. The average level of fit & finish is even higher now than it was 3-4 years ago, when it already was the best we had ever seen in production traditional pattern folders.
I still have some very fine custom folding knives, too fine to ever get used. The advantage of a GEC is that you can get yourself to use it, even though it is a very fine knife.

I have 7.

The eleven GEC’s that have been AAPK’s annual club knife are the only ones I own.

Currently, I have two:

GEC Northfield #77 Yankee Barlow Single Blade SFO - Old Tan Sawcut Bone 771115
GEC Tidioute #38 Grinling Whittler - Gabon Ebony 381315

Both purchased in April of 2015.

Two are incoming:

Easy Pocket Half Congress Tidioute Blood Red Bone
#86 Oil Field Jack 861219 Tidioute Natural Canvas Micarta

Good choices. I think you'll be extremely pleased with both.

Just these two 2019 AAPK knives.

At this point I have about 50-60 GEC made knives. I don't need any more. But every new release is such an attractive well made knife that I find it difficult to not buy at least one example.
And I find it hard to sell a few of them because each time I think of selling one of my GEC's I think "this is such a fine knife I really should hang on to it", and so back into the safe it goes and my GEC count continues to increase.

I just counted seventy-five Great Eastern Cutlery knives.

Since my above post in February i have sold quite a few of my beloved GEC's. Not sure exactly but am down to about 30 now.

Counted 30 and one in the mail.

Oops. I forgot to count the 3 AAPK Forum knives so it's 42.

I bought a bunch of GEC NOS knives during the shut down. That #81 was one of them. I am all caught up. Great GEC knives will be made this year. GEC is fighting for their lives. The dealers need to sell knives , not collect old ones. I am looking foward to the next run. I pre-ordered a GEC#33 jigged bone Conductor knife.

I still have only the one. I would be in the market if they had a harness jack pattern available. Anyone know what number that pattern may be? What handle material did you get on your #81?

Does still trying to figure out which one count? So far, I'm still sayin' Calf Pen.

I have the Green jigged bone #81 made in 2017. It looks like midnight green to me. It is a very well made knife. I also have an Osage Orange wood #81 with a tiny knot-hole.

I believe that I have around 225+ it's hard to get an exact number, removed some from the safe today and took a appreciate count, but have maby 30 or so more that are in display boxes that I didn't count.

Here are the 45's

And the 46's

And a bunch more

Holy smokes, Adog...we need to start seeing some pictures of some of those. You know they need occasional sunlight, to get their vitamin D?

This one is called a Harness Jack.
