Sweet, yeah the patinad look is definitely not for everyone.
Congrats on the 77! I keep fighting myself from preordering one of the new runs with the spear point and coping blades.
Which handle material did you go for?

Antdog, that fixed blade is sweet. Details?

I ended up getting the 2-blade Barlow in Green Camal Bone from VmmVmmm here on the fourms actually :D
He sent me a PM about it when he saw I was interested in maybe getting one, and he had a very good price, so I didn't have a good reason to say no anymore ;)
 
Carried this until I sent it off to get a rescale. Kershaw got so close to a major home run with this knife, so close. Adjusted for price and ignoring the hideous scales, this may be one of the best knives I've ever handled.

Such a good looking knife! Minus the scales of course. You're have custom scales made?

Yes. I like it a lot, and will have spketch class it up for me. That will make up for poor scales, bad balance, lack of a lanyard hole, poor machining on the blade, and sub par steel.

Just be sure to show it off when you do. I may be next in line.

Very cool, I don't believe I've ever seen camel bone in green, but if it looks as good as the blue/ orange that I have seen I'm sure its a beaut!

It looks like it should be awesome in person. You can look at them on KSF if you want too ;)

Rocking some all-time allstars in my collection again today :D

How do you like the FIRE, my current grail knife. Can't seem to find them anywhere.

Probably one of my all-time favorite knives still, and I have owned and handled knives more then twice what the Fire used to cost when you could get them new.
One thing about them is to not expect everything to be 100% perfect like the alignment of the backspace or occasionally the blade centering, but if you have any trouble with any of that, Matt has fixed any and all issues I have ever had with my Fire, and right now it is perfect as it gets.

They are very good knives, and can take a lot of use without even so much as showing wear, and they are one of the best side-opening autos I have ever felt, while still being a great and very smooth manual knife at the same time.

It is a little tank as well. The lockup on mine (and most of them for that matter) is very early, but that is because the lockbar has to be able to seat entirely before the blade bounces back into the handle when you fire the automatic function. It still locks up like an absolute bank vault, and the knife has a stronger lockbar to offset the early lockup, so you won't have the lock disengage on you unless you want it to.

They are no longer being made by Matt, and even though he made quite a few of them, you are very unlikely to see very many go up for sale because they are such good knives, and it still wasn't easy to get a hold of one since he only sold them at shows or through some select dealers.
I am very fortunate to not only have gotten one of the more rare DLC coated blades, but also one of the versions with green hardware, which Matt said was very uncommon and likely there are only a handful of them in this configuration ever made.

It's a knife I am extremely proud and happy to own, and will probably be one of those knives I never let go of, because I already made the mistake of selling this one once, and then had to buy it back within only a month ;)
If I ever do lose my mind and sell this though, Quiet has got first dibs on this one, since he already asked me if I ever sell it to let him know, and I certainly wouldn't mind letting it go to him if I ever did have to let it go to anyone :D

If you can find one, GET IT. They might not be the most affordable knives on the market, but man they are worth it!
