GEC #77 Medium Barlow Impressions

[StubbyThumbnail]

Beautiful teaser pic of the sawcut. I think I will try to do some trading with one I was fortunate to get. I did not get a sawcut but trying to decide which I would like. I also like the blade combination, just not sure I would be able to actually put one in my pocket.
Looking forward to seeing all the upcoming pictures.
Take care,
Rick

Wow, what a beauty! Pàdruig

Can't wait for more pictures to roll in...and I will be as envious as as everyone else that didn't land one!

I saw on Instagram that one alchemy got three and he didn’t try for the elderberry. Some guys are very lucky!

Yeah, I’m not sure how I got so lucky, but I’m very pleased. I’ll be unboxing them all on my YT channel when they come in.

We need to know. Is the clip still pinchable?

Got my Elderberry Camel Bone #77. 1 Minute Overview and Knife Talk videos coming soon.

It is not. I also don't think you'll be able to drop the sheepfoot blade because of the style kick it has, which is a real shame because it could and should sit much lower.

Nice coloring on yours! Is there a ramp in the blade well for the secondary?

My tracking says “out for delivery”!

My 1 Minute Overview of the Great Eastern Cutlery Northfield #77 Medium Barlow in Elderberry Camel Bone:

Not that I see, unless you mean the below. But on second look I think you could file the kick in this position but it would be precarious and I don't plan to try it.

So are most of you going to use it or put it up? For me it looks to be a great everyday carry knife.

If I was drawn for one, I would put it in a small black box and bury deep underground to make sure i got maximum enjoyment.

Yes and the deeper the greater satisfaction

Mine are out for delivery. Time has never moved slower at work today.

Thank you, fellas! Very much appreciated.

Very nice rich and uniform color on your Camel Bone, you got a good one!

I was pleasantly surprised to get a email yesterday informing me to pay for my standby. I did not expect that. It went from bittersweet to a nice sigh.

I have an ironwood on the way. This question is a real quandary for me. Normally, everything I buy I put to use right away and this one does looks like the perfect EDC traditional knife. But at the same time, I know what this knife is worth to both collectors and on the secondary market (not that I'd ever contemplate flipping the knife).

Any one else have similar neurotic knife thoughts when it comes to potentially valuable knives?
