#77 Barlow 2016 - What configuration would you like?

Anybody else notice on the GEC production schedule that these are listed after the #72s which are currently in production? I know that could always change, but seems like they're coming soon!

Yup, and there's a picture in the "what's happening" section of starting 77 barlow bone.

Anyone know any updates on the bone linen micarta? I recollect in the reservation page that CK/GEC are working out the details and it may or may not happen. I'd be good with denim or natural canvass micarta if it does not.

I have to agree with Macchina. The 77 frame is my favorite, and the perfect size for EDC. I have two Yankee and one in Sunbrite acrylic that's been living in my pocket since they were made available. The 77 Barlow is going to be just perfect! Kudos to Mike for such a timeless, practical design!

I have a sun rite 77, and it is my favorite edc too. A perfect knife.
 
I know when pictures are posted I'm going to regret not reserving the bone linen micarta...

Has the bone linen micarta been confirmed? I keep on looking on the GEC site and I think that I only see bone, fingers crossed.

I don't know. One of the reasons I didn't reserve the bone micarta is Mike initially said the cover wasn't 100% confirmed. I thought he posted up something later about it being a supply issue and it was leaning towards getting resolved, but I'm not sure if I'm remembering that word for word. Either way, I'm guessing we will see some cover pics from GEC in a week or so and then we will know.
 
Thanks for the info. I reserved a micarta and a copper bone in case, really hoping for both.
 
There's an update on GEC's site today and it confirms "Bone Canvas Micarta" as a choice for the 2016 SFO NF Barlow.

Did you see the other thread, 77 medium Barlow impressions, Mike Latham showed a sample of the Bone Canvas Micarta on another knife.

I figured Mike would've used this thread, since it was the 2016 SFO NF Barlow. I'm going to go look now, thanks.
 
I have a green sawcut reserved, and based upon the latest pic it should be interesting. I was expecting (and kind-of hoping for) a somewhat muted forest or olive green, but it looks like it will be more neon in appearance: I just saw pictures of the final product and it is fantastic. I hereby retract my prior comment.

Mr. Latham, this "new pinch-able clip point" - what is new? Is it more akin to the shape of the clip point that we see on 15s? Seems like that blade has a bit different shape/profile than what I've seen on the previous clip point 77s, but all 77s I've handled so far have been pinch-able.

I believe that this picture might answer that question for you. Very excited about this run of 77's.

It's the insides of the covers that look neon. The outsides do not. That's how it looks to me, at least.
