I hope they have some extra mount of olive wood left over for these. That would be amazing.

They have started production.

That was provided by Mike, doubt they would use it without his permission.

That was provided by Mike, doubt they would use it without his permission.

I didn't realize that material was provided by Mike. I liked the biblical connection but missed out on the barlow. I'm sure Mike would want to keep that exclusive on his SFO.

 

[rdrogers]

Absolutely. Osage would be fantastic, just like on the 77 Yankee Jack.

Exactly. I have that one and it’s one of my favorites.

They have started production.

#88 Tidioute Cutlery Bayou Trapper handles in black linen micarta



The first of the 88s shown in assembly





Black micarta is an excellent choice to start with

Hopefully this will be another fantastic tribute to a classic knife and done right, as they usually do. I’ll definitely be looking to acquire one.

 

[Wharn]

I really like black linen. I’m anxious to see the production schedule announcement. On a side note I’m assuming at least one of these are going to have the Orleans shield.

 

[Hyesouljah]

Going to be a pretty big knife eh?

 

[Heimdall82]

Ok... i apologize! It's looks great! The shield is awesome!

 

[JTB_5]

The what's in the hall picture shows the second card coming out of the can, so I'm guess there will be four shields on these--one for each suit.

 

[dundak]

Just a minor pick, but with that frame it would be desirable to have sunken tangs.

I think they misspelled mardi gras

 

[Wharn]

Wow these look classy. I’m really curious what the ironwood shield will be.

 

[Viper84]

Wow, just when I said I needed to save more next month due to inflation, GEC puts out these awesome shield/cover configurations.

So we have spade and diamond (hound tooth). Will they put a heart and club on the Northfields?

And just like that I’m back in
