Important Info! Bladeforums Knife for 2017 - 6/26 Update!

It's a looker, for sure. Thanks for the photos!

Well done to all involved. Y'all have yet again hit a home run!
 
Thank you to everyone associated with this project. Last year was my first forum knife, this year's knife will be my first barlow. I have been wanting one ever since I discovered GEC and I am super stoked to finally have acquired one. I have some questions though. How many of these were made? And where can I find such things as Mr. Campagna's SFOs? Are they offered on Gunstock Jack's site? I know how quickly they sell but do you guys think those (regular barlow sfos) are any harder to acquire than this one was? I've always lusted after them but I am certainly not going to ebay to get one. I just haven't known exactly where to go to get one new. I just wanna know, since I got one of these, will I have a chance to get another? Thank you all and enjoy your new knives when they arrive in the mail!!!!!!!!!

some of your questions fall in a grey area as the forum itself is focused on the knives and not the buying of these knives. that being said, there are several authorized dealers that carry Charlie's SFO knives and they can be found on that list. The questions that can be answered are, the numbers will total similar to the peachseed jigged bone run which was done so that more folks would be able to get one. Yes gunstockbarry does carry Charlie's SFOs, for example the diamond jacks are still there. The answer to your last question is maybe. Again the purchasing of knives is not a topic to be focused on, but more the knives themselves. happy hunting!

Thanks for the pics mrknife, I'm starting to come around and I must say the nail nick looks pretty darn good.

Most of your questions were answered (Thanks Mrknife) 500 of this years BF knife were made, and sold out in about 3 days. The other of Charlie's SFOs production #s can be found on GEC webpage, under production years.

This will be my first GEC barlow, and my first TC barlow. I am very excited !!

Looks great. Is that just regular Natural Micarta? The finishing make it look almost vintage, or what I've seen vintage examples look like.
 
Bill made sure that the BF knife was being worked on during the tours, and even some parts of my follow-up SFO were to be seen!!
A little extra entertainment for those who could attend!! Thanks Bill!!!
500 BF knives were made, and 500 of my SFOs are in process. There will be a few spare BF knives, after all the initial orders are filled and satisfied. GunstockJack will figure out a fair way to distribute them. Keep an eye on the relevant threads if you did't get one!!
