GEC #46 Whaler (SPF) | GEC #56 Dog Leg (traded)

[Pàdruig]

Good afternoon, folks.

I am in a bit of a purging mood. I have been collecting GECs from most of the releases over the past year and a half or so and I have developed a pretty good idea of what I like, what I would carry, etc. As a result, a few of these have to go in order to make room for more in the not so distant future.

Up first on the block is a GEC #46 Whaler in Ironwood. This knife is new in tube, never been carried or sharpened, only handled to take a couple of pictures.

A few things to note regarding its overall condition:

• The main blade favors the mark side liner. I cannot decipher any rubbing and there are no marks to denote that is. But I also have not handled it that much.
• The top bolster on the pile side shows a spot of discoloration, likely from a buffing wheel.
• The shield has a couple of fine scratches that the knife came with.

These things were noted upon me receiving knife from the dealer and discussed in the GEC #46 thread here on the forums. The marks will be easy enough to remedy, I didn't want to mess with it any due to me being certain that I would not be keeping it.

Knife specifics:

• Great Eastern Cutlery
• Tidioute Trim
• #46 Whaler
• 2 Blades; Spear Main | Pen Secondary
• No Half Stops
• 4 3/8" Closed
• Ironwood Covers
• 1095 Steel
• Comes w/tube & wax paper
• ***PLEASE NOTE THIS KNIFE HAS VERY FIRM PULLS*** (inherent to the run with some folks rating it around 8-9 on the "universal" pull scale)

PRICE: $185 SPF (Price includes USPS Priority Shipping w/Insurance, International ok as long as buyer pays increased shipping costs)
PAYMENT: PayPal (Goods & Services Only!) (I got the fees, this protects both you and me and adheres to PayPal's and BF's ToS)

Please feel free to make offers but please do so via PM or VM. Thank you.

Please accept my apologies regarding the number of pictures posted. I thought I had taken more. I will update this listing once I retrieve the knife from my office this evening. The Ironwood is of the lighter variety but still quite attractive with a straighter grain.

Next on the block is a GEC #56 Dog Leg in Appaloosa Bone. This knife has been carried a couple of times in a slip but has never cut anything and never been sharpened. Aside from a possible swirl or two on the bolsters that are typical to nickel silver, this knife is in absolute perfect condition.

Knife specifics:

• Great Eastern Cutlery
• Northfield Trim
• #56 Dog Leg
• Single Blade; Spear Main
• No Half Stops
• 3 1/2" Closed
• Smooth Appaloosa Bone Covers
• 1095 Steel
• Comes with tube and wax paper
• Pull is decent at around a 6-7ish with good solid snap.

PRICE: $115 Traded (Price includes USPS Priority Shipping w/Insurance, International ok as long as buyer pays increased shipping costs)
PAYMENT: PayPal (Goods & Services Only!) (I got the fees, this protects both you and me and adheres to PayPal's and BF's ToS)

Please feel free to make offers but please do so via PM or VM. Thank you.

Thank you all for looking. First "I'll take it", followed by PM or Visitor's message gets it.
If deal is made before tomorrow around noonish, can get these shipped out then.
