Why Great Eastern Cutlery!?

[@davids9549]

Beautiful! I can only dream of those Northwoods, but over here in England UK I've managed to get some GECs (including one of those DIW Whalers!), and absolutely agree they are the finest production traditional pocket knives being made in the world right now - the day always feels that bit better when you've a GEC in your pocket.

Finding one available for sale is like winning the lottery. Biggest issue is they are not available unless you have a connection. Love them but they are unattainable.

So I was surfing KZbin today and ran across this video. After hitting play I was like hey him and I were friends on Facebook years ago. I'm Rob F. I sent you a Kershaw Skyline back before you went to Africa. Talk about a small world!

Good Story, You know one day about 10-11 years ago I found knives ship free and they were announcing the Introduction of this beautiful slim knife called "The Presidential" and I remember thinking this would be the kind of knife you would have in the Breast Pocket of your suit on Dress Occasions! I was able to take my time and Pick Out the Presidential in my pick of Blue Camel Bone,I think there were like 12 left to choose from!

What a brilliant collection! Thanks for sharing 👏

Hey Caleb great video brother and awesome collection of GEC! I have recently been getting into the GEC knife brands and have been watching videos of them, you have a beautiful collection there! Thanks for sharing!

Well, if they cant produce enough knives so we "other guys" to get some to keep all the rich guys or re-sellers from getting them to sell on the 2ndary market for 3x's what they paid, every time I want to buy one they are never in stock....ever.

[@markturner5207]

GEC’s are the best production knives on the market. The fit, finish, walk and talk are absolutely second to none. Yes they are more expensive but the rule applies, you get what you pay for. 👍

Stefan Schmalhaus is where you saw the video on the whaler. An outstanding channel with high quality videos on traditionals, often with a European focus.

[@calebfoster552]

That’s it! Yep I love his work

[@bwax1542]

Nice! Maybe next time you can give us some solid tips on how to regularly score the GEC knives.

[@calebfoster552]

Well it certainly has become a challenge! Most of my collection was acquired before the days of the frantic drops! My biggest advice is pay attention to retailers

[@chaddamron3877]

Awesome snags my man - GECs are great - solid collection 💥🔥

[@WhiteOak09]

Trapper , canoe and barlow have always been my favorite carry knives and I have just recently discovered the half hawk/Loom fixer knife from RR and have one coming in the mail and from the size and look its going to be my new favorite.

[@calebfoster552]

Great choices!

[@thorarthur66ddz]

sweet collection man

Here we go! Loving the content!

[@framusburns-hagstromiii808]

GEC knives are usually pretty great. At least the ones I have been able to get.....but they have been virtually unobtainable for several years....you have to be an insider on a list to have any kind of a chance of buying one and the price is always nuts. Speculators sweep them up and jack up the price for resale...pushing the average Joe out of the market....so I am no longer interested for that reason..I'm focusing on knives I can actually get my hands on...Bear and Son and Case(not so much anymore) yes the fit and finish are not up to GEC usually but they are in production, obtainable, affordable.....and American made with good materials. I no longer wish to play the 'Artificial scarcity' suckers game....paying stupid $$ for bragging rights for knives i will probably never use because they are too rare and expensive...just doesn't float my boat...But to each his own.

[@cheatobandito]

Thanks for the tips on the FB groups.

[@joe_a_photo]

You should make videos again. You do a great job talking to the camera.

Nothing wrong with knife hipsters.

Why? Because you're allergic to having a bank account balance lol
