After seeing pretty much every knife in this thread my assumptions were realized. This knife looks a 100% better used. Well done sir. Cant wait to get mine!

Well one week with pocket change,another knife, driver bits and sometimes screws and such. The mark side especially has lightened up quite a bit, the pile side has but not as drastically. Anyone else notice the darkest part of the dye wearing off as such? Personally I think it looks far better 🤠👍

Edit: I been sanding allot of sheetrock this week and that crap permeates EVERYTHING, wonder if its acting like rubbing compound in my pocket 🤔

That looks amazing. That's a perfect knife handle in my opinion.

Using some cheap calipers, the Barlow are all about 11mm thick, while the 86 rope knife is about 14mm.
Thank you very much! The caliper measurements were a cherry on top. That 3mm makes a big difference.

I think it looks terrific, too, and my opinion is yes that sheetrock is definitely abrading enough to see that effect. Are you usually a sweaty boy, and have you checked to see if any of the dye has bled into your pocket fabric?

I love it in this state, but it makes me wonder if it's just going to be all red before long!
 
Mine arrived last Friday and after the transit time in the mail from GEC to Barry to me and a week in it's tube sitting on my desk, with the exception of taking a few pictures, it looks like this. The tube wear is killing me !!!!

I was going to carry it when I went to the Wagon Wheel Cafe this past Wednesday but decided against it. Haven't decided if I'll pass it on to someone yet and don't want to mess it up with a patina or scratches from handling until I decide.
