Micarta is my favorite handle material so for me it's down to AB or micarta. That said it's super easy to un polish it. 600 grit and very light sanding. Clean and then oil.

Unless something goes awry 500 individuals will end up with a barlow. Going to greatly increase my cost and packing time - but as much as I love seeing good customers get a set, I despise seeing flippers get a set.

I have not been informed of the ironwood; but my guess is overrun components got overrun ironwood from days gone by.

I volunteer to help you box those up, all 499 of them.

My wife has threatened to file workman's comp as we expect the #77's and BF knives both this month. So, I will take you up on the offer. You come shrink wrap 1000 boxes and you can have your pick of #77's.

This is my first time getting a 77 at cost and not going to eBay or the sales forum, so I’m excited for that. I had no clue that you could buy all the cover options you wanted the other times. As awesome as I bet that was- I would no doubt buy all of them and probably be in trouble.

Maybe I can help a little by throwing both sawcut options in my box....

Looking pretty sharp!

The mandatory blade etch seems somewhat understated on this run.

It's the exact opposite of all the other blade etches...
The etching will actually get darker as the blade patinas.

Must be my bad eyes...I'm not seeing an etch

I’m with you, etches are not a big deal to me and I just act like they aren’t there.

Rule doesn't say etch has to be on mark side......

I was wondering about that.

Maybe because I'm on my phone, but I don't see it either...

It was sarcasm there is no etch. As least on the mark side.

Soooooo a big middle finger on the pile side? I like it

 

[bbk357]

Lol. You guys are killing me... must be a lot of bad eyes on this forum

The match strike pull is only etched on.

I guess the strike anywhere’s will go to waste

They are going to pit it on one of the covers with a laser so it won't rub off.
