Very nice Greg. Even if you stopped right there it would be a great collection. Good variety of handles and patterns. Wow!!
I also noticed at least 3 of those have the arrowhead on the bolster. Never seen that before.

Thanks guys! I think these are going to be one of the most sought after collectables out there. They are with out a doubt one of the best factory manufactured knives out there today.

Cal some of the early ones are Queen made and some are by custom makers. That's what makes this brand very interesting to me. Quality throughout it's production.

Wow! Our man Greg doesn't half step when it comes to knives.
Even learned a bit, now if I can just retain the new info.

Greg, If my math is right you are adding 1 Northwoods every 2 days (8 knives in 17 days) so this time next year you should have about 210 Northwoods in your collection. Is it time for an intervention?

31 is even more impressive than 17 !
Northwoods knives are not cheap especially those with mammoth or stag handles. However i think they are a safe bet to maintain or increase in value.
The last few Northwoods have been rather plain patterns with little to distinguish them from a regular run GEC. I doubt these will be high on the Northwoods collector list. It is the earlier GEC made Northwoods like the Conductor #33 whittler or the #54 Presidential, and others that i think will continue to be very collectible.

And just think Greg, if you hadn't given me that Willamette Whittler, it would be 32.
Sorry pal. I ain't playing that Indian giver game.
What a beauty.
Thank you.
