So am I, Luc. I've been looking forward to this one for what seems to be a very long time.

same here - I'm on the list for a 2b, but if it really looks good I'd love to snag a 1b as well...but don't want to commit before I see one :) If it looks anything like a Micarta Beer Scout I'm going to be very disappointed.
 
I just put in a reservation for a 2 blade in ivory bone. I can't wait! this will be my first early reserve/ GEC/ barlow/ smooth ivory bone/ jack knife with my favorite secondary blade, so this will be covering quite a few firsts for me.

Haha I think we're safe Luc, you can clearly see the coarse grain on the micarta slabs. I'm on for a 2 blade in micarta. Love the stuff and the secondary is going to be wonderful in hand. I know I'm taking a slight chance though ;)

I hope so Tim...I hope so. I have fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes crossed :)

I'm also super excited about this blade combo - I never thought I would ever get a 2b Barlow, but this one sold me.
 
Yep, the single blades rule! :D Seriously, looks like a tremendous amount of blade being stuffed into that handle...
 
Anybody have a guess at when prices will be posted? I keep checking the site and it says pending....

I just saw that and immediately changed my pre-order from "maybe" to "sure" for the 1B Micarta

Yup, know what you mean Luc. I've been back and forth on the canvas micarta so many times it's ridiculous. After seeing the assembled product though - I.... must.... have.... one!
 
The canvas 77s look great! :thumbup:

Should go well with the 71 canvas that is coming out.

I've had a 2B locked since the beginning but been going back and forth about the 1B. I'm just getting both ;)
