Lets talk GEC!

[Txjohn]

I'm really excited about micarta 25's . Well , Really excited about this run period

 

[556hunter]

Can anyone tell me more about the next run of #73's that are coming out.
1. What scale options will there be?
2. Is there a pre order? If so, where?
3. When is the next run scheduled to be completed?

Thanks
Ryan

Kind of OT, but Titusville had a bad fire yesterday that they say, basically, gutted the town square. Hopefully no one from GEC was affected and prayers sent to anyone suffering a loss from the fire. Wife said 28 fire departments responded. She's originally from Franklin, btw, so I get updates on what goes on in the area.

Oh, jeez! Yes, hope all our enablers at GEC and Queen are alright..... :/

 

[Woodrow F Call]

Hope all are ok.

News says Blue Canoe Brewery is gone. Anyone know if Queen Cutlery is near the fire?

 

[WillieD]

I could be mistaken, but I think Queen is a little farther out of town than GEC.

Talked to Chris today and she didn't even mention it. So I guess they are fine at GEC.

They haven't said, but generally on a 3" knife you don't have the real estate to have and end cap compete with an EO notch.

...they did a magic job on the 2010 ones.

(From the production schedule)

Top-shelf magic, this.

GEC is at 701 East Spring Street and the fire was on West Spring Street, nearly a mile away, it appears.

Queen Cutlery is on Chestnut Street, across town.

The news article said no injuries.

Well said P! - great photos

Thats great news, thanks Primble. ...well not great news, but....

...och you know what I mean.

Unfortunately, it looks like the local brew pub was lost to the fire.

 

[B.F.U]

That's really a shame. Although I'm sure a bar might be slightly easier, it is extremely difficult to establish a successful business in these small post industrial towns (though Titusville still has a relatively good amount of industry). I hope everything goes as well as possible.

The Blue Canoe was a lot more than a bar. They make their own line of Craft Beer on the premises and served Gourmet Quality meals. The local residents and vistors to Titusville will miss it greatly. And for knife content, the first of the #38 Grinling Whittlers will be shipping from the Factory today. Old Green Jigged Bone and Kryptonite Acrylic, maybe Ebony. No damage to the Post Office.

Oh wow, I didn't know it was that. I hadn't been there but I had planned to go after turning 21. That's a real shame.

The whittlers are interesting little knives, but just not my cup of tea. I'm hoping there are some GEC/440c knives in this run of #25s.

That would be awesome! :thumbup: I'm trying to put my purchases on hold for a few months but I would jump at the chance for one of those.

I'm in the same boat, but considering the span between this run and the most recent previous run, I think these will go fast.

That is tragic, although it might increase productivity at GEC & Queen :very_drunk:

Lol, that's good stuff:thumbup:

Quick Question-I recently was fortunate enough to obtain the knife pictured below from Brett. It is the Northfield, Copperhead, Abilene Stock Knife. It arrived today, and I noticed the spacer between the springs is "white" rather than brass. What type is it Steel or NS?
Thanks
Josh
