NICE KNIVES

It sure seems GEC made more knives that I wanted in the first five years than they do now.
The earlier patterns had a quite a few 53,54,23,48,73 etc,the bigger knives it seems people don't like as much these days for whatever reason,the 54 and some of the 86's didn't really fly off the counter,i mean they aĺl fly off the counter but some took a few minutes to sell out,the dynamite knife is still available but not the jigged bone variety,I've heard people describe the 78 barlow as a big knife,15 single blades and 77 barlow singles is the thing.

I was thinking more of my little ones, the 09's and the Pemberton. I should have known they were actually later, the 09 in 2014 and the 06 in 2019.

Thanks for the reminder
 
The very best part was you could actually buy them "off the shelf".

I look back fondly on the time when multiple vendors had a number of each model in stock, and you could spend days considering the different scale variations of stag, wood, and acrylic before making a final decision.
