Great Eastern Cutlery Knives Are Great As Tools And Collectibles
Mar 16 2020 - 1:50
A pocket knife is a simple tool that is perfect as an everyday carry item or to keep in a desk or pack for quick access whenever you need a small knife to complete a task. Pocket knives tend to be made with varying degrees of style and functionality, but the best brands will have plenty of both. If you’re looking for a rock-solid tool that you can use for everyday carry or take into a campsite to use for small chores, our Great Eastern Cutlery Knives might be the perfect choice for you.
Reliable Construction
Great Eastern Cutlery Knives are constructed with unrivaled quality. Many of their lines are inspired by older pocket knife models that were widely carried through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This gives them a classic look which, when combined with modern materials and construction, makes them a perfect choice for any user.
Many of their lines, including their Tidioute Cutlery and Northfield Un-X-LD line use 1095 carbon steel in their blades and springs. This steel was one of the most common alloys used to make knives and other tools before stainless alloys were developed in the early 1900s. 1095 is an excellent all-purpose steel for many knives because it is strong, easy to work with, and it holds its edge well. This steel is ideal for the smaller blades that you will commonly find on pocket knives.
Not only are GEC knives made from quality raw materials, but the action mechanisms and joints on their knives are also tight and crisp. Their slip joints hold firmly and securely without any undue extra space and their knives open and close smoothly.
Great Eastern Cutlery Knives are confident in the sturdy construction of their knives. To that end, they offer a warranty on their knives guaranteeing them to be free from defects. It’s just another piece of their old school dedication to their products and commitment to customer service.
Handsome Components
In addition to the fact that GEC knives are made from quality materials and crafted to strict standards to ensure a seamless fit and finish, they also look great. If you take a look through some of our Great Eastern Cutlery Knives here, you will see just what we mean. Among their many popular patterns, you will find knives with handsomely engraved shield inlays over exotic and semi-exotic scales.
Great Eastern Cutlery offers knives with acrylic and micarta scales that will stand up to plenty of hard use, but they also offer knives with classic looks in scales such as Osage Orange, Bocote Wood, Stag, Rosewood and all different colors of jigged bone. Many of their pocket knives showcase nickel bolsters and brass pins that only serve to heighten their classic appeal. Quite a few of their pocket knives are styled like museum-quality pieces that would be just as suited to whittling as they would be for display.
Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute Huckleberry Boy’s Knife #15
The Great Eastern Cutlery Tidioute Huckleberry Boy’s Knife is a great all-purpose pocket knife with a number of features that not only make it more useful but give it some extra class. This model offers an attractive bail and chain to make it easy to keep it readily on hand but does just as much to give the knife some extra character.
Its straight edge and versatile spear point blade make it a great choice for light tasks like whittling and everyday tasks like dicing up apples for a snack.
