I have a Clip blade coming. Thrilled to see they're already in the works!

Just noticed they listed the covers for the Madison Barlows on the 2014 schedule page:

#44 NORTHWOODS
Madison Barlow
Cocobolo Wood
Amber Jig Bone
Mammoth Bark Ivory
Green Camel Bone
Blue Camel Bone

Green Camel Bone? Sounds interesting. Have they done camel in green before? I'm curious about the Amber Jigged bone.

I believe some tortoise shell acrylic 54s are shown on the site...I know some of you are interested.

I'm really interested in that 38 Whittler.

I was hoping for these, but I pulled the trigger on an Autumn gold Northfield last week. When I saw the pics of the tortoise shell earlier, I was a bit sad..... got home and my autumn gold was in the mailbox. I'm glad I passed on the tortoise. This is my first smooth autumn gold knife. Gotta say I love it!

I'm really looking forward to the #63, but I have to admit that the Northfield cover options are a bit ho hum.... I don't like stag and I'm not a fan of the yellow rose style covers. I really hope they nail it with the jigged bone. Grizzly cut blood red would be nice!

In regards to my most recent knives... this #54, a Northwoods #54, a TC soupbone, an antique yellow crownlifter and a natural micarta crownlifter.... build quality is absolutely outstanding. ... water tight springs, all nearly flush at half stop and bear trap springs on the #54's. GEC just seems to keep getting better, although none of them were quite shaving sharp.

Did you guys get a look at these Acrylics? These are for the 63 Mako Templar's. WOW!

joeymoey · Dec 30, 2014

I'm really liking the look of that seafoam acrylic. Have they used this before? The name sounds familiar...

singin50 · Dec 30, 2014

Yes they have, on some earlier pen style knives, a few years ago I believe. And it's called Kryptonite.

Kryptonite is the Green and Black on the left. They have used it several times on various patterns. Sea Foam is the Blue Acrylic on the right. They may have used it early on, but not since 2009 that I recall.
