Picked up this 77 today. The action is good and I was very surprised at the color of the “dyed camel bone.”

I know someone who might be able to make those handles any color your want.

Thread 'Custom Dyed GEC’s by Nathan & Travis'

I’m so happy with the dye job on these two GEC’s. I have always loved deep red dyed bone on a pocket knife. However, many red bone GEC’s tend to lean towards pink. I have tried dyeing knives in the past, but was always discouraged by the corrosive action of dyes like RIT. These two knives were dyed by my Bro-in-law. He uses an industrial lacquer based dye that is non-corrosive and does an excellent job of penetrating deeply and not leaching out. I’m excited because I have often turned down red GEC’s because of the white to pink edges around the bolsters. We should be able to fix that issue...

Looking forward to seeing the clip yellow bone. Hopefully the resale market isn't too bad.

I forsee the secondary market on 86 barlows being even worse than the 77's.

I haven't been able to purchase from a dealer in quite some time. I used to get notifications but those stopped. Not sure of what methods are being used now to purchase direct.

It does seem GEC dealer prices have increased. Not sure if it's the dealers or GEC. I'm just judging from the BF knife price tag.

Can confirm. The 86 rarer variants tend to draw significant money on secondary, so expect all drops of these to vanish within seconds.
