I just got in a ‘semi’ exclusive knife from Great Eastern. These knives are part of a special order run for a GEC customer and I was lucky enough to pick up roughly half of the order. I say lucky because these are a really great looking knife.
It’s a Tidioute #53 Muskrat with “Black Cherry” jigged bone handles. Wish the picture did a little better job of showing the color off. It is nice! This was a run of 50 knives, each serialized.

The Genuine Stag #25’s will be shipping this week!!! …
I just got in some of the 53M’s in 2nd Cut Burnt Jigged Stag. Very nice!! The color on these is very unique in that the jigging has an almost ‘whitewashed’ appearance to it. Classy looking knife!!

To follow up on my article regarding the “ebay” knives……Since I started up as a distributor with Great Eastern Cutlery, I was under the impression that ALL of the Acorn Shield Great Easterns carried 440C blades. There have been and at last check, there still are some Great Eastern Trademarked #73’s for sale on Ebay that are…
Last week it was brought to my attention by a couple of you that there were a couple of ‘unusual(?)’ Great Eastern trademarked configurations for sale on Ebay and would I be getting any of them in stock. No one had seen them listed with any distributors and wondered what was up. The description of the…
The pictures are great, but the actual knife is nicer. The Burnt Grizzly Cut jigging has a great look to it, but the feel is even better. The panels feel a bit thinner then some. Combine the slimmer feel with the aggressive jigging a you’ve got a knife that feels like it’ll stay in your hand. Oh yeah….. the color is really nice. Excellent mixture of dark with some nice contrasting ‘bone’ color coming through.

i purchased my first (of quite a few) great eastern cutlery knives from TSA, which started up my new collection. these pictures are of the open house #25 barlow. which were offered to those who were lucky enough to attend . a…
I have two new knives coming in later this week. Both of these are leaving the factory today.
The first is a 542208 Northfield “Big Jack” in Burnt Stag with the Clip & Spey blades (on the same end). The second is a Tidioute #23 Single Blade Linerlock with a new jigging pattern called “Grizzly Cut”. No pictures yet, but it’ll look similar to a Griz’s clawmarks drug across bone. Should be interesting.

Once the rains quit, we had a great time with a little golf, lotta food, some cribbage and a ton of kickin’ back.I took along an older Cold Steel SRK with a CarbonV blade. (Actually, I’d hoped to have a handle on a Fallkniven A1 for the trip, but that project just seems to keep getting pushed…
Oh, these are so nice!!!! Even if you don’t buy one, at least find a buddy that’ll let you check his out. After handling the #23’s, 54’s, 73, etc, this definitely has an almost ……delicate feel to it. Hopefully, the pictures will give you a better perspective as to the actual size.
I’ve gotta carry one of these around for a while. Makes me think back to the days when I was little, sitting in church and watching some old fella drag a neat little knife out of his pocket and start doing a little personal maintenance during the sermon . You …
