Tomorrow’s Memorial Day and I’m sure we all have plans. If they don’t include a parade, memorial service or other activity recognizing our veterans, let’s all take a minute to say
a silent thanks. And to any Vets and active duty personnel that might be reading this, THANKS!

Hi from across the pond,having always carried a pocket knife since I was a lad certain types have always appealed to me.The recurrent theme being bone handle usually clip point
style.Now I like most of you started with a slippie and I dont recall any problems or mishaps but then I discovered the lock knife, Buck of course!
I also came across G10 single hand opening etc well recentlyI got to thinking about my boyhood slippies and decided to revisit my past so a hunt round on the web reveals GEC hmmm nice no
UK dealers,ok so I e mailed Greg and …
Hey GEC fans, I received my fourth Great Eastern knife this week. No, not from Greg at TSA Knives but from an Ebay seller, however we thought maybe some of you would be
interested in some observations anyway. It’s a 2007 Red Diamond Back Bone Tidioute #73 Scout Trapper, Serial Number 210. It is new in the correct tube, with the wax paper
wrapping.
Now the fit and action are excellent as I’ve come to expect from GEC (with one exception, more on that later). However, when I first handled it, I was disappointed to feel rough flaws in the
finish of the handle …
If I get half of this right, it’s gonna be a miracle. My day started almost 17 hours ago and I’ve got a ways to go yet but I really wanted to pass this info on as soon as I got a
chance.
I had a conversation with Chris at Great Eastern this morning and she threw more information at me then I could handle. Information overload!!!!!! Let’s start with this….
understand, these will NOT all be coming out this week!!!!!!!
The new 54 Harness Jack should be ready to go late this week. (If I understood correctly, the 54’s will have end …
Just a note to you GEC fans. My (thanks again Greg) Red Buffalo 73 went to the Dana Point Yacht Club Opening Day festivities this weekend. He didn’t get to cut much, due
to my Wife’s warning about embarrasing behavior, and despite the lousy cutlery provided by our reception luncheon. Oh well, I felt confident if any necessity.
Anyway, this little knife has now taken over my pocket and won’t seem to let any of my other knives challenge for EDC. Now I’ve got a couple hundred knives, so this is good enough for me as a
recommendation. Shameless promo, my apology, …
Just got the 73 and 23 Linerlocks in Brimstone in and they look great. I was lucky enough to get serial numbers 2 thru 7 in both knives so anyone interested in a matched set, I’ve
got em! They’ll be available individually and I’m not pushing them as a set, but you don’t always see them come thru in sets like this.
Color is nice and consistent on the knives I looked at and they’ve got a great ‘gnarly’ feel to them!!

A few weeks back I had someone ask me if I had an opinion regarding the 440 steel Great Eastern was using in their “Great Eastern” knives. Sorry I can’t remember who asked me, but
I’d replied that I planned on trying one out in the near future and…alas, I haven’t had a chance to really put one to the test.
Anyone out there used a “Great Eastern” and have any comments regarding the blade? I’ll admit to being a great fan of the high carbons and have stuck with the
Tidioute’s and Northfield’s so far. There’s some great stainless out there …
I just got a really nice email from a customer today. He wasn’t happy with a knife he purchased a few weeks ago. We worked through it and I think both of us were
satisfied with the result. What made me really happy about the note was that it was spontaneous and I believe heartfelt. Many thanks.
A while back I said I’d post the story of TSA Knives and someday I will, but for now, I just want to share few personal things.
Years ago, in another life….I spent about 10 years with IBM. Started in the mail room, went to the manufacturing floor, …

Do I feel lucky!!! Here’s the deal….
As I mentioned previously, the availability of Genuine Stag has tightened up. Great Eastern just finished running the first #23L’s in Genuine Stag and ran a total of just
16 knives. They ran just 23 of the 735108L’s and a Grand Total of just 5 (actually 6 as they
always keep Serial #01) 735108’s without the lock in Genuine Stag.
The prices are up slightly, the quantities are down and we’ve got all three in stock!
