You'd sure make a darn good Irishman.

I see that you have already past 50 orders, is that correct? I would love to get in on the deal and would order 4 of them if you plan to take it towards 100 knives. The knife sounds like it will be an heirloom piece, and I would like to have the extras for gifts for special friends. As I understand I might be able to order up to six knives, but I feel that four will do. I have several toenails in my collection, but none will look as fine as the one you are describing. Thank you for helping me to stumble on to this group. It looks like a place I can hang my hat. Sincerely, Thayne Johnson

God bless.

Thanks.

Thanks for the "friends" invite.

(They don't see too many folks from Brooklyn, in the diner.)

I would like to be added to the list for the #36 GEC Northfield Toenail; how do I sign up? Thanks

I am interested in one of those #36 Buffalo Horn GEC Northfield Toenails. Please let me know how to proceed with next step. I wish that they would do more in shiny polished buffalo horn or spiral cut. I have two NF #23 linerlocks and love them. At first they didn't catch my eye though. Would like to see them do a #25 in smooth shiny red or black buffalo horn too. Thanks, Tom Peterson

I love GEC knives and it will be nice to have an exclusive model

This is a wonderful idea!! I have found that a general notice does not work as well in here as the personal touch. I have been forwarding what you put in to the members. The site I sent you to with the pictures of older GEC's belongs to a friend. I have also asked his permission to post it on his blog, we share MANY of the same folks. He also has a large overseas base of GEC folks. I see we are getting some good responses.
