[waverave]

Let's start a thread shall we?

 

[SteveC]

What are the specs ?

 

[waverave]

What are the specs ?

Its the same size as the recent Remington granddaddy barlow...4.7" closed or so.

 

[mrknife]

cmon single blade!? waynorth is this what you meant when you said end caps in the future?

 

[Aaronmccombs]

I’m a fan. What can I say.

 

[Wharn]

I’m in for at least one version.

 

[Matt_WY]

It’s the same size as the recent Remington granddaddy barlow...4.7" closed or so.

Based on a club knife listing for the 87 pattern, this one is slightly shorter than the Remington at 4.5”. I believe it’s a different pattern than the barlow.

cmon single blade!? waynorth is this what you meant when you said end caps in the future?

If it was a single blade id be in for one. Good luck to everyone that wants one of these.

 

[Rsmith_77]

Lol I like it
Good thing I am broke or I might try and get one
Alas...broke

 

[Heathenhymnal]

Oh sweet lord PLEASE sell out fast, I really don't NEED another knife but boy howdy that thing is a beauty!

 

[Viper84]

It's nice, but I don't find myself NEEDING one. That's a good thing for me because I told myself no knife purchases for March to save some money.

 

[mrknife]

its not the same blade as the remington is it? that one seemed to have more belly

 

[Jakeywax31]

Too big for me. Lucky hunting friends.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

id like to know how this compares to the 65.....

 

[black mamba]

Being an English Jack, I'll be disappointed if at least the Northfields don't have a fancier bolster.
Fluted, beveled, engraved, rat-tailed, something decorative.

 

[Will Power]

Agree black mamba most Queen and Schatt versions sported a decorative bolster and it's a big knife and needs it.

I hope you are right. These look great, and a decorative bolster would really add something special. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the run.

 

[TheIncredibleHoke]

Looks pretty cool, but not for me. I have a beaver badged 97 that I never use already and I think this one is even longer. Nice to be able to pass on another new GEC release though. Saves more funds for old Case and others On the never-ending want list.

A little detail on the Bolsters really enhances the English Jack!!
Here are some comparisons!!

 

[TylerG12]

I'd love to snag one if it looks similar to those Charlie posted. I'm just not a big fan of the beaver shield (or the big ram's head, etc). I'm sure there will be at least 1 that tickles my fancy.
