GEC #86 2021: Angus Jack, 2AB, Spring Street Barlow (BF Knife)

[sf fanatic]

None Jack but I was late to the party, I hate all this being responsible and having to work and all

Well the party is not over. I’ve got two rust bone AB2s inbound. Only going to keep one. Shoot me a PM if you’re interested in helping me out.

My 86 carry solution has arrived. I can even carry an 85 with my 86.

What an effort from GEC. The BF Barlow will get along great over here.

Would you be willing to take a side by side shot to show the width of the single vs double? Thanks.

This came yesterday and went straight into my pocket this morning.

Is it the light or does the bolster have a little patina?

The bolsters are a brushed finish.

I am really loving this OD Green. Going to carry this one a lot I think.

Big fan of these barlows. The rust orange natural bone looks great along with the stamped bolsters. Overall fit and finish is spot on. To me the single blade 86s are about perfect.

My AB2 rust bone came today . IMHO, this run of 86s is nothing short of epic and the best is yet to come. The fit and finish on all has been outstanding. The bone handles on mine are well matched. The walk and talk is the best of the 86s I’ve received. The pics don’t do justice to the full rich color of the dye and they were able to match a wave on the handles perfectly to both sides. Oh yeah, a button to boot! Paul and John you will not be disappointed .

No problem. I’m glad I was reminded to do so, as I have been meaning to post a side by side of the angus vs the 2AB. Two very different knives in hand. Both extremely well executed. The angus is a jeans knife
