Tell us about your newest

Hi everyone and welcome to our newest members,

Something we have not talked about lately is new aquisitions. Tell us about your latest and greatest GEC. Donnie bought me both the new 23's in the Beavertail (Worlds greatest husband by the way) He got himself the newest 73 in Primitive bone. THAT is a heck of a nice knife.

What have you gotten lately?

Tom, I will be using the #85 for sure, it really feels like a classic pattern. I wasn't so sure about the #85s when they first came out, but I couldn't resist that bullet end.

Here is the knife that is getting all of the pocket time, it's an awesome knife and a great gift from my brother.

I would like to know how GEC serial numbers their knives. Do they number them as the first made gets number one and so on, or do they finish all the knives in a batch put them in a pile and number them as they grab them out the pile, one, two and so on? Anyone have the answer?

Johnny, that's a great knife, I just wish they would make them with clip point blades. I find those blades a bit of a sticker blade, kinda like a steak knife. I am sure alot of people like it, I just rather a clip point. They put nice clip points on whittlers knives instead of outdoorsman knives. Go figure!

Robert,

They come into Patty's area. They are cleaned and inspected. If it doesn't make the grade it comes off the tray. They are numbered right from the trays. #1 typically stays at the factory
