#77 Barlow 2016 - What configuration would you like?

I will probably have to see in hand both sawcuts and bone linen micarta to decide. I always end up favoring a knife I didn't initially think would be the one.

Last time it was the old red but I got one where the corners had been buffed a lot so it turned really light red in spots. The micarta which was my third choice ended up being my all time favorite knife.

I would love one with a coping, but if he doesn't add a 2blade option it makes my decision process less taxing on the mind. =)
 
Man, trying to pick just one is tough! (As is trying to convince myself I don't need one of each! :D)

For now I reserved the copperhead sawcut. Really tempted by the green sawcut, but GEC's greens have varied quite a bit in the past so it's hard to say what that'll look like. Also pretty curious about the bone linen micarta. Oh, and the blood red jigged bone sounds great, too… :D

I'm in the same boat....last time the micarta was also my favorite

wish I could see what the Green sawcut bone looks like.
 
Agreed, if I can actually see a good deep green and not all black and not green with white showing it would be a winner. I am almost thinking something like the soda scout was as far as color depth goes.

You gotta hate us picky knife forum folks. :D

a deep british racing green would be sweet - but not some artificially looking green like THIS
 
I'm a "Maybe" on the green saw cut. I'm not huge on GECs clip blade profile, but if the green is really nice, I can easily look past the blade profile.
 
I'm having a tough time picturing what the green sawcut will look like. The deep red jigged bone is easier to guess how it will turn out by looking at some of the red jigged TC's. If I'm not mistaken this will be the first jigged NF Barlow.
 
I think the copperhead will be a big success. Like many of you... the green sawcut seems to be the wildcard here. I can see that turning out good or badly. A deep green could be a winner though.
 
Copperhead Sawcut and Bone Micarta are in the bag!

Im anxious to see the Green handle option. Ive never seen a Green handled knife I liked... but that's just me.
 
Wow, reserves filled up quick. If you haven't locked in what you want you might want to do that now.
