2022 Lick Creek Barlow #14 thread

[Erik Hansen]

Got a 14 coming. GEC’s website is a bit behind on an update. I’ll bet they are still making a consideration on covers. How about a burlap micarta single blade taboot? Something pinchable!

 

[SFO]

Lyle's has single clip blade so far, appears, I 've yet to catch Charlie's and been around for years. Still trying! lol

That sawcut looks nice and I love the color. The 14 looks great as a barlow, but I already have a 14 I rarely carry due to the small size, so I’ll watch this one from the side lines. Good luck to everyone who goes for one.

Congrats on another handsome SFO waynorth !
Are you at liberty to say how many pieces of your SFO were made?

The last ones are still trickling in, Mike - Looks like just over 500, which was the projected number! Maybe 508!!

wlfryjr any idea how many of your chestnut fencepost 14’s we’re made?

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

 

[wickettedge]

I got one on the way now... thanks waynorth

I was distracted by that big green Gator and didn't see Tom sail by under the radar

Great cocobolo as of late, GEC. The pull on this run, if mine is typical of the batch, is commensurate with the pull from the first #14 run with spearpoint blades - about a 4

I fear this 14 Barlow may be too small like the 94 is but I will try to get one in hand to see nevertheless. Narrowly missed grabbing one from KSF earlier. Some great looking Cocobolo however. I would like to see more sheepsfoot down the pipeline and some other wood offerings though. Cocobolo has been heavily used as of late but it is pretty wood.

They are on the small side, particularly compared to, say, the #77 or #86. Still nice little knives, though.

I am disappointed and honestly a bit surprised they didn’t do a sheepsfoot this time. Big run of spears in 2016, big run of clips in 2018, I thought for sure we were due for a sheepsfoot #14. Oh well.

Same here. Any sheepsfoot TC barlow is on my must have list.

Thank you Mr. C!

The more pictures I see the more excited I get! I was lucky and got on the list at Collectors Knives, but I don’t know which one to choose!

Lyle had about 150 made!!

Yes, only a few "different" ones; - Bone, TBD!

Thanks for the info. As far as you know, will all the iterations be single blades?
