WHY DO WE MAKE THREE DIFFERENT BRANDS OF KNIVES:
We make three brands so that we can provide collectors with a wider variety of knives to choose from.
GREAT EASTERN CUTLERY - They are the high end knives made from 440c Stainless Steel more expensive handle materials.
NORTHFIELD - Medium priced knives made of 1095 Carbon Steel instead of Stainless Steel.
TIDIOUTE (“tiddy-oot") - They are the less expensive knives we produce using 1095 Carbon Steel
