#25 Barlow could be a Hot commodity

Posted on by Greg

A little early warning for those of you thinking about jumping into the Great Eastern Cutlery collector circle.  The initial interest on the #25 seems to be higher then I’ve seen for previous models.  The question of course is will is be sustained.  Personally, I think it will and here’s why.

Great Eastern has gotten their feet firmly planted on the ground, quality issues have been addressed and public interest is finally starting to spread.  I’ve sold more Great Easterns overseas in the last 2 months then I did all of last year.   They’re getting exposure on a TV shopping network which increases brand awareness and that’s …

The #25 Barlow starts shipping from GEC today!

Posted on by Greg

Got a call this morning that the #25 Frontier Bone and the River Blues are scheduled to start shipping from Great Eastern this afternoon.  It sounds like the Frontier Bone will be a run of just over 40 knives so might end up being a tough one to come by in the very near future.  There will be a small run of the River Blue without serial numbers coming in the very near future.

It sounds like there was an excellent turnout at the Great Eastern Cutlery facility over the weekend that actually started on WEDNESDAY!!!   A few of you have asked …

I just got confirmation this morning of the first two production #25’s that are coming out.  On or about July 23 the first one’s will be going out to the distributors and will be finished in Frontier Bone.  VERY shortly thereafter, it will be available in River Blue Bone.  Both of these knives will be serialized as a run of 50 knives.  I have both on order and am accepting orders starting today.  In the last week, I’ve received so many requests from customers wanting to be placed on a waiting list for the first one’s that I …

Some new Items Coming in the TSA Store

Posted on by Greg

For a couple of years now I’ve been developing an ‘identification’ crisis of my own making.  It’s arisen from the fact that I have an Ebay store as well as the www.tsaknives.com website.  I haven’t sold the same products on both sites and a lot of buyers knew I had one store, but not necessarily the ‘other’.  So someone may have purchased a Bark River knife on Ebay from me and asked if I had access to another Bark River to find out it was in stock at www.tsaknives.com.  (An item I totally overlooked adding to the website …

Shutting the Door for a long weekend July 10 – 13

Posted on by Greg

Any orders placed after 7:00 PM CST Wednesday evening July 9 won’t ship until Monday July 14. 

I’m taking a long weekend to commune with the bears and moose.  Gonna play some golf, maybe catch a trout, burn a couple of marshmallows over a campfire, check out the northern lights and spend a little time aimlessly whittlin’ on a stick.  I might not get up before 6AM all weekend!  …..well 5:30 at least …don’t want the whole weekend to get too far outta control.

Any orders that are placed will be processed in the order they’re received.

New Red Hangman’s Bone Arrived!

Posted on by Greg

I just got in some of the Moose and the Harness Jack’s with both blade patterns featuring the new “Hangman’s” jigging pattern.  These are called Red Hangman’s Bone.  Obviously, they have red bone handles but the jigging pattern is unique in that it has a look similar to rope.
