I believe you will see the yellow after polishing. Dark brown with yellow around the edges and near the bolster.

Smooth autumn bone maybe?

Don't wait until they are finished.

Pop corn and gnarly stag coming along nicely.


Mount Olive Wood looks like has some great character shining through

You’re probably right, at current they’re just a lot darker than I thought they’d be. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Are those satin finished bolsters?

I don't think so, but it's hard to tell from the picture.

First time poster and long time lurker: I have been so excited about this most recent run of 77s that I finally felt like it was time to break the silence! My 2019 red saw cut 77 has easily been one of, if not, THE favorite pocket knife in my collection. Getting on the reserve for this run leaves me with a question I was hoping one of you kind folk could answer.

Were the 2019 production Yankee Barlows made with nickel silver liners/pins/bolsters? I seemed to have missed the info on that. The brief discussion on liner/bolster materials in this thread had brought it to mind.

Welcome Travis,

Mike or someone with more knowledge can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe 2019 run was steel liners/pins/bolsters.

The first run of 77 Yankee Barlow in 2014 were brass liners/pins and nickel sliver bolsters. I believe that was the last time brass liners/pins were used until now.
