Looking for Ivory GEC

Post by Cbro553 »

Hey knife people!

I’m on the constant lookout for Elephant Ivory GECs. I have lots to trade, or can buy outright. Let me know what you have, and we’ll see if we can’t work something out!

Best of luck cbro. There are few ivory GEC collectors here and these knives are now hard to find. Those who have them are hanging on to them.
If you post that you are willing to pay "crazy high price", then some of these collectors might contact you.
Just posting that you are interested is not likely to shake loose any ivory GEC's. But it is worth a try. If it works please let us know by posting in this thread.

Hey KJ, thanks for the reply!

My GEC ivory collection is a small but not insignificant group of 5 knives, two of which I received from members here, two from social media groups, and one from a dealer. It’s a long shot for sure, but I feel I’d be doing myself a disservice by not exploring all avenues. I’ve got some pretty rare and tempting trade bait, and I’m not afraid to make a good offer for a tusk I like.

So if anyone has something in ivory that they never quite clicked with, or is a pattern they don’t really like or in a safe they haven’t opened in a year and would like to turn it into cash or a pattern they’ve been looking for (or both), feel free to reach out!

Just updating with some particular patterns I’m looking for. If you have any of these patterns, I can make you a very attractive offer!

I for one would enjoy seeing some pics of the ones you have. I have a few Bulldog ivory knives posted over on the Bulldog forum. Good luck with your quest. ::nod:: ::handshake::

Wow!!! Some very awesome knives. The swell center and the EO are patterns that always catch my eye but those are all exceptional. Good luck on adding to your wonderful collection ::nod:: ::nod:: ::tu::

Thanks, guys! I truly, actually love each of these knives very much. I’ve had some success in my search, over paid for some, made poor trades for others, and was just in the right place at the right time for a couple. Not to mention stalking a handful of collectors.

The 57 Whittler was my biggest score. That’s my favorite GEC pattern, so getting ahold of that one was a big deal for me.
