Just thought I would make sure that anyone following this group had an opportunity to see this

Christmas in January Wounded Warrior Auction Bid HERE!

This 'gem' was in one of the lots of knives acquired recently. It's a very unusual piece from Great Eastern and I doubt there are many of you that have had the opportunity to have even see one, let alone actually own one.  This is your chance to do both.

 It starts today.  Bidding, that is, for the GEC "Christmas Wishes" 362209 Sunfish.  If you look closely, you'll see that Santa has a new GEC knife in his hand, ready for some good little boy or girl.   Remember, there were only 16 of these made, all unserialized.  This is a truly classic looking knife that is highly collectible!!



To place a bid, simply click on "Leave a Comment" at http://blog.tsaknives.com/2012/01/28/christmas-in-january-wounded-w... and post your bid.  The auction will run until NOON CST, Wednesday, February 1.  The profits from the auction go to the Wounded Warrior Project and I encourage all of you to take a minute and visit their website at: Wounded Warrior Project.org to get an understanding of the good deeds they do for our returning injured vets. 

Let's let the bidding begin!!!!!

Oh wow, This Northfield Whaler with the chestnut bone handles is just great. It would almost pass for a antique. Thanks Chris and all you craftsmen at GEC.

Luca,I was sorry you couldn`t make it to Titusville,I was looking forward to meeting you.I don`t think I`ve ever met a pocket knife collector from NYC,but you prove you don`t have to be from the country,or the south,or wherever to have a passion for pocketknives.

   I believe GEC did a good job of living up to an orginal Platts jumbo swellcenter.And be careful edc that knife,you may start to list to one side,it`s a pocketfull.

I bought ebony and cocobolo. One as an edc and one to put away. I honestly couldn't wait for someone to make this knife again. A very fiew fine custom knife makers make this pattern and it's a special order and priced accordingly, so I couldn't get one. Original antique models of this pattern cost in the several thousands of dollars and that's from a friend, thousands more retail! So GEC came out with several models and finishes as a brand new production pattern premiering now. Well this was one of those occasions when I ran, not  walked, to get mine. Wished I coulda been there at the Rendezvous to meet you and other iKC fans of this pattern and most of all of GEC. 

Bravo! To GEC and all of those involved! And thanks to all of the members of the Elelphant Toenail Collectors Club here ate iKC for keeping this pattern alive!
