I have for sale a Great Eastern Cutlery Northfield #83 Yellow Rose Little Lockback. I carried this knife in my watch pocket alone for maybe 4 hours, and only cut two plastic bags with it. It looks brand new. It locks up with no play in any direction, truly rock solid. It sits centered and well below the frame. It has beautiful smooth yellow bone. It came nice and sharp. It opens and closes smoothly. Comes in tube.

Next I have two pieces of Pennsylvania cutlery history. These are "Bradford Cutlery" "Single Shot Trappers" made by GEC. As I understand it, Case was not happy about the use of that name and these will never be made again. They both have all brass hardware including bolsters and endcaps, as well as a brass shield in the shape of a .22 long rifle. They are on GEC's #23 and #73 patterns. The #23 has been used and carried and shows it. The etch has been worn off, there are knicks in the bolsters and endcaps, there are scuffs, and it has been sharpened to a mirror edge. Otherwise, it is rock solid with great action and beautiful blood red jigged bone handles. The #73 is unused, I have kept it in the tube hoping to pass it along later in life. It is rock solid with great action, and a strong pull. It came with some barely discernible patina spots on the blade. It's jigging is a bit different than the other's and really great looking to my eyes. Both have tubes. I will likely withdraw whichever doesn't sell first.

I have for sale this modified GEC #25 in Strawberry Jigged Bone. It has a wharnecliffe blade that has been sharpened down a bit, but has lots of life left and a razor sharp edge. I dropped the kick so that the very acute point sits deeply within the frame, but the blade is nowhere near striking the backspring. I also added a slight easy open notch so it can be pinched open. It isn't the most perfect mod, but for a GEC at this price I think it really adds to the useability. This knife has great action and no play. I have the tube, I believe.

I have for sale a Victorinox Huntsman 2. The difference between the 1 and 2 is the 2 has a corkscrew rather than phillips driver. It was used by the previous owner and does have scuffing on the scales and such, but it in great working order. I think the Woodsman 2 is my favorite EDC swiss army knife, and it's a great tool for anyone.

Please feel free to ask questions, and do so before committing to purchase. If you'd like to offer a trade involving an elephant ivory handled traditional, by all means do so. Please only purchase if legal. Thanks for looking!

Would it be possible to see a closeup of the EO cutout on the 25?
I don't own a GEC yet and while modified, I'm liking this little guy a lot.


Whoops, looks like I just missed it.
