I just got confirmation this morning that I’ll be receiving another limited production #73. I believe it’ll be called Dusty Rose. This will be a Tidioute, non linerlock single blade. Production will be around 15 pieces total and I’ve taken the entire run.
It sounds like it’ll be a pinkish ‘rose’ color. Should be interesting!!

Those of you that get Blade magazine read the article on page 6 of the September issue, “Readers Respond” by Bram Frank.
In a nutshell, Germany has recently banned all ‘one hand’ opening knives and all folding knives with locking blades. Without trying to ‘reprint’ the article, it appears the lawmakers have effectively banned the sale and possession of Spyderco, CRKT, many, many others including a few Great Eastern knives. The logic is that these are weapons of choice of miscreants.
I recently got an email from Luke in Australia and we were discussing the upcoming US presidential elections. We’d previously talked about the Supreme …
Sometime back I’d written a brief article about the GEC’s being offered on Ebay with the 420HC blades and had made a few comments regarding a comparison with 440C. I’ve got my own opinions regarding 420 steels and meant to pass along the following link if you weren’t familiar with blade steels:

This is an excellent source of info with way more information then most of us need or want about blade steels. I always like to have a few good resources to fall back on and I’ve found this one to be great.

Start saving your spare change gang. Here’s what’s coming up in the next couple of weeks.
There’s probably going to be a couple more items come through in between, …
Great Eastern has run a very, very limited run of 73’s both liner lock and Non liner lock called “Fuschia“. They ran just 7 with Linerlocks and I believe 13 without locks. My understanding is none of these will be numbered as they won’t be finishing the run. It’s a one shot deal!
I purchased all of the linerlocks and a good share of the non locks. These will be coming in midweek next week.

The Genuine Stag Barlows sold out before I could update the storefront!!!! That was fast! Not to fret, I do have a few more coming in the first of the week. Tomorrow morning I should know how many I’ll have coming in that shipment.
Once I know how many more are coming, I’ll repost them in the store for anyone that wants to ‘preorder’ from the next shipment. They do look nice!!

Great Eastern has run a few 73’s with a jigged bone handle in a ‘new’ and as yet, unnamed color. Fusion, Fuscia, lavendar…???????
Anyway, this is going to be a relatively short run of non linerlock knives AND they ran just 7 in the 73 Linerlock. I bought all 7 of the Linerlocks and should have them the first of the week. Can’t wait to see what they look like. The linerlocks will be unnumbered and GEC has no intent on running more.
I’ll get pix up as soon as they come in!

Just got the Genuine Stag Barlows in and they look great! I was curious how the handles would look with a small piece of stag and it looks great. Nice job of matching up the panels.
Serial #’s 7, 8, 10 and 11 from left to right.

Just received the 25 Barlows in both Tan Barlow Bone and Black Walnut Bone. Both of these knives are the first one’s produced with the Northfield Trademarks.
The Tan Barlow bone is really sharp looking. It’s a rustic look that just seems to fit this little knife perfectly. Difficult to verbalize the difference in appearance with the Frontier Bone but it is definitely distinctive.
