Any GEC collectors from Austria in this forum?

At the moment it's very hard. There are only two official dealers in Europe and they are only getting small amounts of knives. So most of the time you have to buy from US-Dealers and pay import taxes. If you are able to get one anyway... but I am happy with what I have so far and if I am able to land one from time to time it's OK for me.

Welcome...hopefully you find a few who are more local to your area of the world.
 
GEC's can be hard to get here in the states, I cannot imagine the hurdles of acquiring them in Austria. A good forum friend of mine is in Austria, and he was a big GEC fan, but that was back when they could be bought off the shelves of multiple dealers with time to think about it. He has unfortunately not been active for several years now. Best bet, keep posting, make some friends, and maybe put a discreet message in your signature. If you go through enough threads and look at folks sig lines you will catch my drift. People around these parts can be very helpful.

It was our friend Andi who recommended me to buy a #66 Serpentine Jack, as he had one himself. I took his advice, and bought one from a UK dealer. It was the first GEC I bought, and it's still one of my favourites 👍
 
GECs do make it over the pond as two or three of the largest collectors i know of are overseas. however, they do tend to have "buddies" here that takes care of shipping over to them and receiving knives paid for. I can only imagine the mark up the European/UK dealers have to add now since its been some time since I've seen the last european SFO. One of them is in Germany and the others are in the UK.
