Lets talk GEC!

I feel like I'm short a GEC Barlow...

With the 86 Barlow, now there's 4 GEC Barlows? Is that correct? The TC14's, TC15's, NF77's and the 86's? I feel like I'm missing one.. oh, and the 25's. Oh and the 2AB.. Okay, what am I missing now?

Edit after sleeping on this... here's one I forgot, the Madison Barlow.

Barlow list from GEC:
14
15
77
86
25
2 AB
Madison Barlow

Now what am I forgetting? I feel like there is yet again 1 more lol. Every time I think I have them all listed I'm left with the feeling I'm missing one. It's funny because seems like not too many years ago we were hard pressed to get GEC to do any Barlows till Charlie and Mike started some SFO's.

There might be one less - the 2AB is an 86 (numbered 861121), and if you're not counting Northwoods (the Madison), there's two less.

Okay, thanks. I didn't recall the 2AB as an 86. Personal preference, but I consider the Northwoods branded GEC products part of GEC, so I'd count the Madison. I guess that's it then. I'm still left with the feeling there was something on a 78 or 77 frame that was in the Northwoods line that was a barlow. I'm off to google search :D

The only reason I don't count Northwoods as GECs is because if I did I'd have to sell my house

There was a Northwoods I missed. The Big Bay. Now I think that's all the GEC Barlows.
 
birdsbeaks birdsbeaks there is nothing “better” about regular production knives from GEC, and I assume mrknife mrknife is just wishing the Granddaddy Barlow model would have been offered in more cover selections like wood, micarta, etc.
Gotcha. I'd appreciate some variety there as well. It's one of my favorites, and not just because I was actually able to get a couple. 🤣
