There, they can discuss GEC prices to their hearts content.GEC inflation
I've been following the recent thread about flippers, and most often, if not exclusively, the knives that are being pilfered for higher resale elsewhere are GECs. It seems to me (though I haven't tried to verify it in any reliable way) that the secondary prices on GECs began to skyrocket once...
The Traditional Forum is for the discussion of knives, not their prices and not the purchasing process.
Thread is now open.

Very cool - what was the result of the transaction?
The first two number out of the six stamped on the tang are the pattern numbers. You have an #06 Pemberton and a #29 Stockyard whittler.
That’s a pretty nice start! There are patterns on each knife on the tang of one of the blades… first two numbers are the pattern number, third number is the type of the main blade, fourth number is the number of blades, and last two numbers are the year of manufacture. For example, on the bottom one (one of the best patterns, my opinion), on the sheepsfoot blade tang it should say 291319. That is the 29 pattern (stockyard whittler), main blade is a clip (1), there are three blades, and it was made in 2019.I am just getting started, these are a few I just bought. The GEC quality is stunning. Looking at prior threads, I have a long way to go. Are there pattern numbers on these things ? Clearly I have much to learn, so far all I know is what I like. I blame that Paddy Peeler guy for getting this bug.
What about that GEC hat?

I darkened mine with mineral oil it has nice even swirls either side.
The wood on the #73 Bocote is first rate.
