All About Pocket Knives

Jerry, i would say a lot . you can tell every one here gets the first ones by the consecutive serial numbers being posted

Is it just me or does the Ben Hogan look like an extended frame Copperhead?

I think your right Paul. I've had that impression floating around in my mind for quite some time. I don't know how many knives they produce in a given year but there sure are a lot of them that show up here on AAPK. I'm betting Big Monk accounts for about half their yearly production. They should put him on the board of directors. We could tag him with a new moniker. How about Great Eastern Cutlery Chairman of the Board. I'll bet it would be cheaper for him to buy the company and just take what he wants as they come off the assembly line.

I just noticed you're out on Eastern Long Island. I'd like to go out there some day. I've never been beyond MacArthur Airport.

Be careful,what you say, Jerry________________it's not nice,to fool with ""Mother Nature""

Mr. Chairman. You're calling an attempt to corner the GEC market, an act of nature?

My newest.

Excellent looking pair of knives JWS !! Great pattern.

My newest is a GEC #66 River Valley Bone Jack. I didn't really give these guys a chance at first but I must say they've grown on me. Black Micarta, Pearl LG+, and Snakewood round out the collection.

Yep,those are very, impressive !!!!! ____you're doing the #66 Jack, pattern,like I did the #56 Jack's_____over-looked at first,then went back,and got most all of em'

Beautiful GEC's Fella's!!


How about a Tuna Valley.....

That Tuna Valley is, Lookin' Good ,JR !!!!!!!!!! ya' need one of them ""Four Blader's ""____to go with that one don't ya' ???????

Yes Sir....it would be nice..

Nice pick ups Trand!! So whats your thoughts on that Pearl,I've got one picked out just haven't pulled the trigger,not sure how I'm gonna like seeing the pins throught it

johnnie that TV trapper is SWEEEET brother,good look'n stag and nice pic buddy

here's a beast of a knife for ya johnnie.................lol

Thank you Earl.

Nice Whaler, Earl! I like that one a bunch.

JR; love the Tuna Valley First Edition! That is one fine lookin' knife!

Wow....thats a SWEET one Earl!!.....nice catch.

Thank ya,Barry.

Thanks Barry & johnnie its a cool pattern imho done very well by GEC,gotta put one in your hand ,its a trip......

I was extremely fortunate to be able to aquire one of the show knives! They are very well done and certainly are a handful of a knife! It's difficult to imagine the size of these hawgs without having one in hand!

GREAT Whalers Earl & Barry ! one fist full of knife

Nice snag Barry! Can you imagine carrying one of them around and using it?

It's hard to imagine cuttin' large rope at sea... watch those fingers! Easy to understand why so few survived the rigors of whaling and of merchant mariners in those days. Salt air and carbon steel soon equals..., well, you know.

Beautiful Whaler,Barry......I really like the etching on those!!

This big ol' Whaler,came in the mail today !!!!!!!!!!!! Cocobolo Wood ----my new ""Centerpiece""

Not only can you paddle your boat with it, it's also a boat anchor!
Not recommended for use as a floatation device!

Thats some pretty wood,Monk!!
