That Olive Wood is looking great, really hope I can snag me one A nice grain will be a cherry on top. My email notifications ready to go every day

Liking the olive wood more than stag so far, but I'm curious to see more progress photos on the sawcut

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 to the Porch my friend . Congrats on getting on the Reserve for another one . Those Red Saw Cuts are some very fine knives .

Cocobolo #77!! ohhhhhhh it's gonna be a looker for sure!

Cocobolo, that makes sense why no saw cut marks on some of those production pics. This is going to a great run

That's the bone, not the cocobolo. Cocobolo isn't white on the inside.

Wow, not a bad choice in the run so far. Seems I’ll be happy no matter what.

 

[mrknife]

it would match the 15s nicely

 

[tmd_87]

Wow, this is a sweet run. The Mt olive handles look really nice too. Decisions decisions.

The saw cuts aren't done yet on the production pictures... you can see it's a dark brown with yellowish inside, it's gonna look very similar to the #15 below.

Can't wait to see the finished product with Cocobolo and that big bolster!

Stag or olive wood, I really couldn't decide. So I wen to the coin and asked if I should go with the olive wood. Here's my '15 spear as well, my first GEC.

I believe the bone is sawed before dyeing. Someone with more knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong. The yellow will show through when shaped to the bolster.

Oh, I see the white/yellowish on backside of those now, thanks

I see the yellowish your talking about, that will look real nice once finished.

That’s what I heard from one of the dealers too

Here’s some 2015s for viewing pleasure

Was looking at my Osage Sawcut and i tought the sawcuts were made after dying to give the sawcuts more "reliefs" and be more colorful. I can be wrong for sure! hahaha

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.

Thank you for the reply. It started to trouble me that I hadn't given it much thought until now!

Thank you, I couldn't agree more! I have a hard time keeping it out of my pocket when I'm not at work!
