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

[MililaniGrown]

It's a beauty!

I remember @waynorth mentioning somewhere that going with the lighter sawcut lets more of the color through. I assume he was referring to keeping the black/very very dark brown as dark as possible? If we went with a deeper sawcut would it have been more red? It's beautiful as it is now, just curious how the sawcut affects the color.

BF 86 shipped by GSJ has been accepted and is expected to be delivered by 10/9/21!

Same!!! Looking forward to the weekend.

Me too. So exciting!!!

I think it makes sense that everyone keep their BF 2021 Barlow in the packaging until every member gets their copy.

Then we can all open them at the same time.

Agreed?

I suggest November 1st as “opening day”.

I was thinking we could run a poll and everyone guess how many will be on eBay by Nov. 1.

Not the date, (but you could do that too) the total number.

We could make it a baby poll.

Date.
Number.
Price.

Chiming in to agree with many others - got my rust orange 2AB and it's a beauty. Incredibly well built. Haven't figured how to embed photos from my laptop (would love some guidance here), but here's a link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/G3Pw3J7SxbVYgmhQ6https://photos.app.goo.gl/G3Pw3J7SxbVYgmhQ6

Best option is to use a photo site such as imgur (free). Upload there and then can copy and paste link from there to image upload here when posting.

SSB expected delivery of Saturday, but being 2.5 hours from Barry, I got a feeling it’ll be here on Friday
