2022 Lick Creek Barlow #14 thread

[waynorth]

14 TC landed today. Initial impressions are very favorable. Great little blade, lighter pull than my other 14 but still very crisp walk and talk and the cocobolo is beautiful. Very pleased
Big shout out to the generosity of @fishin1635 for passing it along

They're here and are filled with character. Love the handles a lot more than I expected. I wanted them because of the story connection ,but didn't expect these beauties. Bill did an amazing job with that old post. 147 & 8 Stores.

Im interested as well if this info is available to us. I grabbed one earlier so the anticipation is building.

Those are so cool... They have a real "Old World" look.

Found these 2 today and snapped a picture showing the size difference. The 14 is a small knife. The pull is suprisingly light, and smooth. I can pretty easily pinch it open. The finish leaves a little to be desired, with both sides of the bolster having a spot that isn't polished all the way.

Neat knife, but I am not sure it fits my personal carry style.

Beautiful knives. Does the wood need to be stabilized before maufacturing?

Is this the last true CC TC SFO? Or is the pin correct in "Tom's Back"?

My 14 came in and it’s a beaut! Love the miniature feel to it. Still feels as solid as any other GEC.

I've mostly been a looser in the natural-cover-lottery over the last couple of years, but I'm still hopeful my coco will have attractive grain and color. Now I just wait.
