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

[BDubbs]

First GEC I’ve managed to snag in years. Oh boy, is it a good one. I am very pleased.

Colors on those are very nice reminds me of maple trees turning in fall.

Good things come to those that wait.

That’s right. Three so far by my counting. And the excuses are already starting. Funny how someone always claims they need to get their money back out of it when they’re charging 2x what they paid.

Nah...it's my sister's vicarious birthday present remember?

This just showed up. A stainless Barlow… the stuff of dreams. Other than a few scuffs on the back bolster the fit and finish are spot on. I’m still not sure if I made the right decision choosing this over bone but I’m still very happy. This will make an excellent user, thanks Mike.

I love how these are a nice hunk of knife that also pocket very well. Can’t wait for the forum knife to arrive.

I’m not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but it’s nice to see the “Cyclops Steelworks” again.

gunstockjack , I'd love to foot the bill to have a BF knife sent to Kevin, assuming no one else has claim to it... And if Spark is ok with it of course.

Nice, is sawcut pretty subdued or is it the angle/lighting?

Just gonna drop this here again. Does anyone know if the 2AB has a stainless spring in addition to the blade? I haven't noticed any patina after quite a bit of handling. Does every gec brand knife (acorn shield) have full stainless construction?
