Question, you didn’t need to be signed into
your account when you checked out right?

I got the notification and moved quickly, and didn’t realize until after I checked out that I didn’t actually sign into my collector knives account.

I got my order confirmation but just want to make sure if anyone has any insight to that.

No, it is done by email address. The system is tracked by email. Other than a handful of people reserving with one email and purchasing with another - we didn't have many problems. Then there are others will email servers that see links and decide it is spam - those left some people aggravated too; but I think we ironed them all out.

I’m shocked all the choices were still available when it was my turn. Way easier that anticipated. I’m a happy camper.

I don't know how this happened. But the proportions fell just perfectly that every person, even down to the standby's, had full selection.
 
A few months ago, I had sort of "decided" (I put that in parentheses because you all know how that works out) that, going forward, IF I made the effort to get any GEC, it would be in stag.
When these were announced, I was certain I wanted a Mount of Olives one.... but when the choice came down, I folded and went with stag. This will be my first, and likely, ONLY 77 barlow, and stag just seems right.... I chose that, with the mental commitment to try to find an olive one on the secondary market.... whether that works out or not, remains to be seen.
Big thanks to Mike for all he does for this group of knife enthusiasts....

Nicely matched stag, congrats. 🤠:thumbsup:
 
Thanks you all, looking forward to more pics of others soon. I spent the extra five dollars for priority shipping, seems like it musta been a wise choice. Just shipped (Texas to PA) Saturday!

I think I read that this stag was specially selected? Any further details on that? Hopefully mine is just as nice. Exciting times.

Nice, really well matched! How’s the pull, walk n talk?! My stag won’t be here til Friday. It’s gonna be worth the wait!

Thanks! I would call the pull a 4, very similar to the most recent #15s. Walk and talk is good, and I expect it to improve like my 15 did with a good flush and lots of use.
 
Yep, feels very similar to the 2021 #15 barlows. Sawcut marks are there but faint. I really like the yellow highlights. Bolsters are similar in color to 2019 #77s but missing the black inset in logo which I really miss. I prefer steel liners and pins but the brass brings a new look to the model… all-in-all I’m happy with. A5EECAF0-E299-4230-B47C-37F7B7126EB2.jpeg
