How did you end up liking this?

It was nice. Good looking. Nice action on the blades. I loved it enough to give it to my Bro-in-law who loves GEC’s. I picked up another and then two SFA versions from the Rendezvous. My problem is that I seem to like 90% of the patterns. I wish I was a little more focused.

An Ebony SFA version of the 39. There was also an Ironwood version with a Corset shield that was available during the Rendezvous. Hopefully someone will post a picture of that one. Manofcarbonsteel

How do you like this. Can’t decide between this and pony jack and white owl

Hasn't left my pocket since I got it. Walk and talk 10/10. The smooth bone finish feels very good in hand and gives enough grip. A perfect small size knife even though I have large hands. You have to have some nails left to open the blades but I'm a big fan of having a spare blade now. What did you end up with?

Good choice eather way I think! The hunt never stops so you can just as well try getting one and ease the pain.

There is a lot of potential in this frame.

Looking even better with patina.

I passed on these, just didn't do it for me.
Love the pattern, blades, etc, so much potential.
Now, if it was golden jigged bone with an UN-X-LD shield or something like that, it would be an instant classic.
I hope they re-visit this pattern again and have another crack at it.

I would not be surprised to see these on the production schedule this year. GEC will often revisit a pattern 2-3 years after the initial release.

I agree. I’m hoping for a clip and full size spey.

I’d like to see a regular run with clip points.

#39 Curved Barlow. They will make it sooner or later, I bet.

It's called a church key barlow. The Northwoods Madison barlow is this type.

I agree. I’m hoping for a clip Lambsfoot and full size spey.

FTFY

Thanks! I don't think I ever heard this term, even in Levine. Though, IIRC, the very first Barlows are believed to be of that kind, not a sleeveboard.

Look for the Derrick Bohn (from KSF) video explaining the Madison.
