Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
For the #62 i would like to have seen at least one run with a spear point master instead of the Wharncliffe master.
GEC gives handle options for every pattern but does not give blade options. As nearly every pattern sells out i guess GEC sees no need to involve optional blade choices.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
Just saw this on a GEC, Facebook group, page...
"The word over on Blade Forums is that GEC told the dealers no more SFOs. Including Waynorth, Northwoods, and Ck."

Do you guys know if this is supposed to be permanent?
Or just temporary due to the recent covid shut down.

From what i have read, permanent. Nothing to do with covid-19. But that is only my read on it, more informed members than me will know more.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I support Bill Howard 100% on this decision . Everybody go look at the production numbers of 2019 on the GEC web-sight. We have GEC dealers that are complete pigs about SFO knives. I have no problem with Franks Classic Knives receiving a 100 SFO knives every year. But the biggest knife dealers are complete pigs with 150 to 1000 SFO knives last year. The smaller GEC dealers have taken a pounding in 2020. Everybody needs to sell more knives and not be stuck with more NOS inventory . The SFO knives have the best bone colors , better wood choices , saw cuts , better jigging. This needs to stop. GEC need to make the next patterns with better scale choices. GEC is in the fight for survival . I have the CKs SFO mesquite #23LL and the Kieffer blue camel bone #23LL on pre-order. I am hoping these will be completed , the parts have already been made. This halt to SFO knives needs to be done , we need to support our smaller dealers that treat us with better service. I am looking forward to better knife patterns and better scale choices in the future. Stay away from the secondary market. Why pay krazy prices , shipping , and state taxes on EVIL-bay ! We need to support GEC and the GEC dealers more than ever . We need to buy a few from CASE XX knives too. "Buy American or Starve !"

How about a picture ? I assume it is a #23 pattern knife with flush & square joints ?

Microsoft New Edge has screwed up my computer. I can not load or down load a saved picture. I am not going through the process of correcting it. FaceBook attacks my computer every time I log on. As long as I can buy new GEC knives , I am not going to take a chance of my computer getting worst. PC Matic saves my computer every day.
Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I agree with onearmbladejunkie on this one for sure. Bill Howard knows what he's doing, and hopefully he sees lots of buyers like me who want to keep the GEC knife they're buying, not resell it, but are having a hard time finding them.
My general plan is to buy a Tidioute version (or two if handle selections) of every pattern. (OK, maybe not that 35 but still)...
I don't have any SFO connections and would much rather own a regular GEC, and if this policy makes the knives easier to find when new it sounds good to me.
