Nice! Thanks Charlie and Gary! I voted but am withholding my choice so as not to seem unnatural. ;)

I have agreed to distribute the 2017 BF Knife again this year on a pre-sale system. Stay tuned for details on early bird discount.:eek::confused::thumbsup::cool::rolleyes:

limit to one?
 
I have been trying to purchase a TC for quite some time but never quick enough. Having said that I'll also say that I'll do my best to get one of these no matter the color BUT, come on black linen you have a lot of catching up to do!
 
Voted natural canvas. I feel the color and texture best represent the spirit and style of a traditional Barlow.
 
I think that traditional knives and red handles go hand in glove. Wouldn't mind natural canvas at all though.
 
A commanding lead for Natural! Looking forward to this one, thanks to all who have done so much already to make this knife a reality:thumbsup:
 
I have not bought a new traditional folder in decades, but have been slinking around looking at Barlows, so count me in even though my choice does not look like it is going to win.
 
New guy here. I voted natural. Want to extend a big thank you to everyone in this forum for all the great information and the effort in making the beautiful Bladeforum knives a reality. I can't wait to get my hands on whatever is the outcome. This is such a great place to hang out.
 
I find it so fascinating that there is such a following for natural canvas micarta. I, myself, find the color to be rather lackluster, though the texture of the canvas seems to make up for what would otherwise be a drab experience. I suppose the same could be said for the OD color as well, there is something to be said for that textured appearance. It makes me wonder though, had the black and red colors been offered in canvas, would there be more support for those options versus the natural? Random musings, I suppose...

Regardless of the handle material, I am very much looking forward to this knife. It is going to look awesome, regardless of the color. I just hope they don't sell out before I can manage to add one to the shopping cart...
 
I look forward to whatever is voted. I'm in regardless, but for purely a different handle than I own, I voted OD canvas...I really like natural canvas, as well.

I don't own anything in natural canvas. I will give it a shot if that's whats voted in. I've passed on it in the past because it appears in pictures to take on a brownish red hue with use.
