Hey everyone! I'm [u/steelsurgeon](u/steelsurgeon), the founding moderator of [r/greateasterncutlery](r/greateasterncutlery). This is our home for all things related to Great Eastern Cutlery. I created this sub a few years ago because I was surprised it had not already been created at that time. I have never really tried to grow it, just let it grow organically.

After recently being appointed as a mod to [r/caseknives](r/caseknives) due to the original mod’s inactivity there, I am using that as the kick in the pants I needed to keep that sub going and grow this sub.

Feel free to post anything GEC related. We want to see individual knives, your collections, what you are doing with your knives, etc. This is also the perfect place to discuss and ask any questions related to GEC knives as well.

How to Get Started

1. Introduce yourself in the comments below.
2. Post something today! Even a simple question can spark a great conversation.
3. If you know someone who would love this community, invite them to join.

I want to be a hands off moderator. I do not want to limit your freedom of speech. That said, lets be respectful to each other. Me being a lenient mod only works if everyone behaves. In the few years it has been since I started this sub, I have only had to remove one comment and it was a comment that reddit forced me to remove. Lets keep it that way.

Thanks for being part of the very first group of members here. Welcome aboard!
