2022 #77 Yankee Barlow thread

[Pàdruig]

How do the 77's compare size wise to the 86?

Another shot - GEC Barlow lineup (25, 14, 15, 77, 86(x2))

Is this the first time they're making the 77 in Tidioute trim? I'm just picturing a larger 15 boys knife.

Does that mean it’s not going to be a Barlow?

 

[Un-Chained]

Dylan… your 15-77 pair is just Mawvellous

 

[jmgruber]

Is there a story about the Mount of Olive trimmings? knifeswapper Thanks

The Yankee barlows in stag and olive wood should be in typical Northfield trim with the NF stamp on the bolster. It's the production Tidioute version that I'm wondering about. It could be a barlow, but I imagine the bolster would either need to be blank, have a new stamp, or they reuse the TC stamp. I guess we'll see.

They have made 77s in both northfield and Tidioute trims that were not barlows. I no longer own one, though…
And, of course, Charlie’s Washington knives are on the 77 frame.

 

[Lander boy Matt]

Has olive wood been used by GEC in the past?

 

[Jiki]

Here is a Tidioute 77, and quite a nice one at that.

 

[JOELSM]

Olive wood would be dreamy. That’s my hope.

 

[Ruhiger Sturm]

Olive wood sounds unique but Mike supplied the stag as well so I’m guessing they’ll both be stunners. It’ll be a hard choice if I get to choose between them. I’m leaning Olive wood right now if it’s an option.

I’m wondering if the Tidioutes with be offered in ebony and white bone.

It's exciting that Mike has another SFO in the works. I remember the last one - it seems like a lifetime ago.

Also, I often forget that I have this Tidioute 77 in Ebony.

Wow Dylan, that 77 is gorgeous. You’re posting some amazing knives tonight.

I was happy to have my phone also. Probably going for the olive wood. Do you normaly get to see pictures when deciding?

 

[Fixall]

I'm definitely going for the olive wood. I'd lose my mind if the covers ended up being made from trimmings off of the olive trees in the garden of Gethsemane or something (is my Jewish showing, lol?). Being that they are described as Mount of Olive trimmings, I'm hoping for olive wood from the middle east, rather than from Greece, Italy, or Spain.

Pretty stoked for this one! Congrats to everyone who made it in.
