Lets talk GEC!

[JohnDF]

I agree... a good user #77 Jack with wood handles would be nice to see.

 

[Matt_WY]

and Yankee Barlows it is. Be fun to see what cover options are available.

 

[Bluemantra]

Oh man what perfect timing! I was able to reserve a 77!

Olive and Sambar stag #77's

[JOELSM]

Nailed it! Was on a business call when Mike’s notification went out. Could not multitask…“I’ll have to get back to you”… Got on the reserve though!

Haha...same here. I didn't say bye. Just "click".

A NF Barlow is always a treat and though I am a little disappointed that there isn't a regular jack version of the 77 being announced, I am excited at the prospect of a NF Barlow dressed up in Stag.

 

[Wharn]

Nice. This will be my first 77.

He wrote that he suspected there would be a tidioute version for general production.

 

[SteveC]

Clip or spear I wonder ?

 

[jsdistin]

I didn’t see anywhere what the blade or blades would be though.

 

[AlveusHuxley]

Suspicious of how long the reserves have been open, also wonder how they will decide who gets which handle material if it's one reserve for them both.

 

[Lander boy Matt]

I'm hoping for clip blades. Will also be my first #77 and am actually crossing my fingers for olive wood or bone. Not sure I wanna play the stag lottery for this one

I think he opens them up in the order of the reservation and then they are available until they are sold out so if you got in quick all the options will be available but then as more people are contacted to purchase then they start to sell out so later folks have less choice.

I saw that but wasn't sure if he meant a Tidioute Barlow of sorts or just Tidioute as we traditionally know it to be. GEC has thrown a few curve balls in the last year or two so it's hard for me to rely on past norms.

Same

I wondered the same, seems a Tidioute Barlow would be unlikely but if it’s a Barlow or a regular jack I’ll be in.

 

[tmd_87]

I’m in for any blade shape. But a sheepsfoot would be nice. Just because it’s been forever since we had that variation.

 

[Jiki]

A Yankee Barlow? You don't say.
