Maybe if your lucky enough to get picked, otherwise $200-$300 on ebay. Im going to enter the drawing but knowing my luck ill be last on the standby if I even make that list and there will be several people that get picked for multiple cover reservations.

I would hope that you have not lost your memory since Retirement my friend .Harry, a couple of those look awfully familiar!
I really need to take another picture since I traded a couple to you , but they look so good with all the others .

I'm excited, too. I sure hope I'm fortunate enough to get one. Ironwood is calling me
This one pictured below is probably my most carried traditional knife. It's like an old friend by now. And the action...to die for. She knows how to walk and talk.

This. A sawcut clip blade with a match striker pull is the penultimate traditional for me, right now. I wouldn't pay eBay prices for one so I'll put in for the lottery.
Why doesn't GEC do few hefty runs of these a year? Does a 77 Barlow need to be a SFO for CK?

Yes, CK SFO only. We didn't see any in 2017.

I've seen pics of your collection and it's is aces, Harry! I'm hoping I can pick up just one of these in the next CK run. I love my GEC 15 Barlow but a little bigger knife in a clip point will pretty much seal the deal for me as my favorite trad. Not a huge fan of the pen second blade but it's not going to keep me from buying.
