2025 77 barlows

[SteveC]

Now that yellow rose 38s are going out, 77 jacks will be next. Next week?

It seems that usually when they make the cover on the GEC website they are ready to ship, so hopefully this week.

No matchstrike pull then? Or is it done afterwards?

Nah, my 2cents is that these will be sans the match strike, shame, but far from a deal breaker.
P.S. I suspect to some the match strike can start to lean towards the gaudy ? But one or two in a collection aint a bad thing?

You would be correct

Yep, first drop this morning.

Absolutely.

They just don't have one yet. It is one of those "try it yourself first" things .

I personally almost always prefer a match strike on my long pulls if given the option. On the regular nail nicks though, I don't like the eyelash look

Not all match strikes are the same

I'm sure more are out there but the two I have...77 and 25 frame

 

[pistonsandgears]

I guess I'm weird. I like the match strike on the long pull but not the nail nick.

Absolutely agree….for now…my tastes might change down the road.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

I love match strike pulls when done tastefully, despite the fact that strike anywhere matches are harder to find than large rifle primers.

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

Well that’s different. I kinda like it, it reminds me of a promotional knife.

 

[MarbReds]

Collector Knives - blood red saw cut bone!

This is the one I opted for as well. I think it’s going to be the best of the run. None of the other covers really blow my skirt up.

Matchstrike 77.

Wow, just wow. Never seen neither a Cripple Creek 25, nor match strike nick done by GEC. Looks absolutely fantastic. A little bit like a squeezed Cripple Creek 14.

Absolutely.

I have 1, would like more….

Hey some of us Ladies are just all Showbiz! I myself will accept matchstrike in any shape or form, I’m a slut for it..

 

[Scubaroo]

Any predictions on when/where the next ones will drop?

 

[Viper84]

Those rawhide richlite covers look like you could strike a match on them. See? No need for match strike pulls.

 

[mrknife]
