Gary, I think the poll is closed but the thread is still open. I never voted but the option was always there until yesterday. It's gone now so I think the poll itself is closed.

Ahh, OK. I get it now! Learn something new everyday! Thanks!
 
You're welcome Gary. I think we are all still trying to adapt to the new format. I'll be lucky to have it down pat by this time next year.:)

I feel compelled to clarify to those reading my posts that the reason I didn't vote is because I'm not sure yet if I'm going to buy one, not because I have no interest. I wanted to vote but that implies a commitment to purchase which I'm not ready to do yet.

I'll decide when the pre-order thread is active. I assume there are at least a few others in the same situation which if true, might increase the number of actual buyers.
 
Just got back from a niece's wedding in Ottawa, Ontario, and I see the poll has closed. The Natural Canvas micarta will make a good Tom Sawyer-ish handle, IMO. I have confirmed with GEC, and I think we can expect a drawing from them soon! I have also confirmed an order of 500 knives. When we get a drawing, I will open a new thread with it, and we can kibitz until production starts - still to be determined!
Thanks for all the participation and comments! I look forward to more pockets containing Barlows!!:D
 
Hey guys I'm fairly new to forum I only joined late last year. I did vote for this one and would really love to get my hands on one my question is how is the process done is there a pre order through blade forums? Do those that committed by voting get any sort of priority? Pretty excited about the prospect of my first forum knife and a tc Barlow!!

There will be a pre-order thread stickied at the top of the page like this one. Nobody gets priority. Just follow the instructions in the thread when it's posted, make your pre-payment, and wait for delivery.

In the meantime someone usually posts some work in progress pics so we can all get excited watching our knife come to life.

Just keep an eye out for the pre-order thread and you'll be fine.
 
Is there a way I can still vote ? Would really like to get my hands on a natural canvas one ?

Per our informal discussions, and the restrictions requested by GEC, we have 5 choices for the BF knife handles. Please vote ONLY if you plan on buying a knife or two. This poll will close in two weeks!
The knife this year is a Sheepfoot single-bladed TC Barlow!!

Is the poll closed? i'd love to order a knife .
 
I have been here daily for the past 2 weeks, and completely missed this until now. I like all the choices, my vote would have been inconsequential. But I guess I need someone (BARRY) to slap me in the head when time to pre order arrives, somehow I miss ordering every year. I also missed out on all the TC runs, hopefully I can pay better attention! Is this on the 15 frame, or the 77? (I probably missed that also)
THANK YOU to Charlie and Barry for taking this on again!

Edit: pattern # on pic in OP is a 15!!!
