I can't wait to see what handles GEC uses on this next batch, though I have a feeling it's going to cost me money
I'm hoping for something(s) with stamped UN-X-LD bolsters and main blade (preferably clip, as before), and/or a good blue, and/or the right Haycorn.
Hopefully we'll have more word on what might be coming, soon.~ P.

You are really kind when I asked help of Barlow in my past thread. Here's mine.

Beautiful knife, i love the sheep foot master blade and the handle color. That carving is also cool, what kind of wood did you use?

Kingwood, jigged bone tentatively called Autumn Oak, Kryptonite and Dead Skunk, Snakewood, Stag, Buffalo Horn, Primitive Bone.... Anything tickle your fancy yet?
In-progress shots:
... Word has it that more barlows are still months away, but these upcoming Little Jacks sure do look fine in the meantime.

I'm looking for single blade models. Wharnies, Clips and hopefully a Drop Point. I've got a Spear in stag, but something about the proportions of a Spear in this size blade just doesn't appeal to me. I ground the point down to more of a Drop Point taper, but if I can get one that way from the factory...: )

Every time you post one of your pictures of your ebony barlow, I still go, "Ohhhhh," with a gap between being arrested by the beauty of its form and/in your pictures, and remembering that I actually have one(!). Because of your picture.
All of which I've mentioned before, but: it's still happening!
I have not seen anything indispensable (heh) in the new lineup yet, but I love watching the #25s roll out again.

I have this one on the way as of about 30 minutes ago. I have been trying to decide between this 2 bladed one or a 1 blade e-z open.

Sounds great! I look forward to hearing your impressions of it. (I was going to ask is it here yet? is it here yet? but realized you wrote the above just yesterday. It feels like longer ago.
)Meanwhile, here come these:
... As promising an array as this is, I haven't seen my own Next One yet. I like the look of the spear blade on this pattern, but find it less helpful in use than other main blades in this size and width.

Amber Jig catches my eye. But I prefer the Spear when it is in EZ-Open frame.
