2024 GEC 78 Bullet End Barlow

I thought that's the Whiskey Barrel Oak, isn't it? Doesn't look like cocobolo.View attachment 2609471

That's the Cocobolo. It has the Northfield bolster. The Whiskey Barrel is a Tidioute.

if only they let us know which bourbon distillery it came from, id be more inclined to chase. but i suppose im still drunk on the 39s

Ooooh, yes, thank you! My deductive skills slipped on this.

If Bill calls it a Barlow, that's good enough for me. The woodland Richlite has just the slightest bit of green in it. Love it.

Looks like Cocobolo to me.

Yes there is some green in the covers. In time the dye will lighten and they should get their own patina. Nice texture, I like em. These photos were taken in RAW with the white balance set using a color checker. In English, the color is accurate. The pins that go all the way through are flat spun, not domed like before. One might speculate the assembly process changed but the fit and finish on my example is excellent. No gaps, nice firm pulls on both blades but not nail breakers. It's a pretty nice jack knife with a nice big clip main and a pen blade large enough yet small enough for detail work.

Cool knives.

I’m loving this as my main carry today. I think richlite gets a bad rap. I like it more than micarta because it seems to have more grip.

I love the wrap around spring and little orange specs that add to the woodland theme.

The Woodland button that comes with these first ones is especially cool.

This one is definitely green. I really thought these would be more tan/brown. I really like it. Great action too. Can’t wait to see what the whiskey barrel looks like.

Are they done with the Remington 78s yet?

I’ve been wondering what the heck is going on up there. Been a couple weeks since an update.

Probably working on a run of the Northwoods Big Bays

Def looks like Cocobolo also note the fluted bolsters as the coco is a NF and whiskey barrel is a Tidi

Edit: whoops thought I was replying to a new post. I see this had been covered.
