    Great Eastern Cutlery?

    New name to me saw it mentioned on another board, US made quality as good or better than Case.
    I went to their site saw one that caught my eye but unavailable?
    So do they only do limited runs? Are these marketed as collectors and not user knives?

      I just started collecting traditionals so I'll throw my two cents worth. GEC seems to be at the top of the mass production knife world at the moment. They do sell directly but their distributors have more inventory. They make lots of different models and designs. Their Tom's Choice and SFO models usually sell out in advance and you may have to pick them up on the secondary market. They also have Northfield and Tidioute lines. Their quality is perceived to be above Queen/Schatt & Morgan/Case and others although some of them can have a little blade play, which seems acceptable to a lot of their buyers.

          Go to their website and look up their distributors for best selection. I just bought a Tidioute #77 autumn saw cut bone Yankee Jack from Blue Creek Cutlery.
