Finally tallied up the results on the knife design survey and the results were pretty clear. About 60% of the respondents would like to see a Barlow. Over half would prefer a 2 blade with the majority of those preferring a Sheepsfoot/ Pen (or Spear). And finally roughly 65% would like to see 154CM blades. …

Trestle Pine Knives Design Survey
A few weeks back a lot of you were willing and anxious to comment on the current state of quality and customer service in the knife industry. This type of info is always interesting and with any luck, gets read by the people that can initiate change. Speaking up is one of the best ways…
Quality & Customer Service Survey Results
Here are the results of the recent survey on Quality & Customer Service. In the early days of the survey, I was informed the Survey format I was using had been upgraded and the survey was deleted when the upgrade installed. Fortunately, I had printed out the responses up to a point about 6 hours…
Quality Survey
The suggestion of changing my return policy definitely caught the attention of more then a few folks. Sunday alone there were over 170 hits on that single topic and it’s still getting hits this morning. It’s not that I’m that important but thanks in part to Bob over at Old Hundred Collectibles bringing my post…
Survey Results so far…
I have a feeling there’s a pretty good indication of how everyone feels about the survey so here’s a preliminary report. Frankly, as the trend goes, I don’t see it changing much. 1. Do you collect or ‘use’ your Great Eastern knives? That comes down to pretty much a dead even heat between collectors and…
Survey Time!!
Haven’t done this in a while and I’m curious as to what you all think. In the last couple of months, GEC has been running knives without shields, blade etches and serial numbers in an effort to keep the prices down for the consumers/collectors. I’ve heard some grumbling and I’ve had a few folks say…
GEC Farm & Field Tool line…good deal??
Since GEC came out with their Farm & Field Tool knives, I’ve been curious as to what everyone thinks of them. I know GEC makes a bunch of them and they don’t have any real attraction to the collector, or do they? For a number of reasons, until this latest release, I haven’t carried them…
Hey, got a new survey for ya!!!
It’s been a while since we had a survey so let’s do it! I’ve been interested in how long some of you have been collecting, how big your collection is, and where your interests lie. AND, it helps me decide what to carry in the store. It’s 6 short questions and I’ll let you know…
Which Knives would you like available in Stainless Steel?
Okay, so if GEC were to produce more knives with 440C blades, which specific models would you like to see? The smaller frames like the #33 or the bigger models like the #23’s? For the
time being, let’s forget about handle materials and just try to find a consensus on the models..

Survey Results RE: Steel Types in the GEC’s
Interesting. The survey’s been up just short of a week and here’s a breakdown of the responses to the question.
Should the new Fixed Blade GEC’s have had Stainless Blades instead of 1095?
The latest 731, 732 &733 fixed blade GEC trademarked knives were released with 1095 blades. In the past GEC trademarked regular
production knives have had 440C blades while the Tidioute and Northfields had 1095 blades. Should they have stayed with that tradition?
