GEC has been finishing the #14 Barlows, and shipping them out.
The Ivory Bone ones were shipped to dealers on Friday. I am hoping the Ebonies will go out on Wednesday! My allotment Ivory and Black, won't go out until Friday or the following Monday.
Sigh . . . . . . . . . . . .
I hope you all post pix when you get them!!!![]()
Great macro shot on that one, and nice (fuzzy) background!
Probably don't want anybody spying their new Mini Trappers with S30V blades... One can dream, can't they?I wonder if something interesting is afoot?
I'm really excited to see that the smooth white hone has ends that are more "squared" than rounded this year! Makes it one for me to really try hard to get. Looking really great overall, @waynorth!GEC has been finishing the #14 Barlows, and shipping them out.

Thanks! Just making sure I hadn't missed anything.Fodderwing , I am only aware of the 22 Magnum two blade knife Dwight, but it is certainly possible Bill could have a variation in mind.
The TC Barlow’s look great!
And oh man, that smooth rotten banana bone for the 85’s look great!
Yup, I started getting envious of the beaver tail because I only got a banana out of the tidioutes, but I’m very happy with how they’ coming out!
Just got an email regarding Smith & Sons Mudbug, due in February. I know the last time they did a run of these, GEC didn't do a run of Bull Busters (#21) alongside them for whatever reason. I wonder if it might be different this time around.
I hope so. I don't think they've done a run of #21 Bull Busters since I started buying GEC knives a few years ago. Plenty of Bull Noses, but no Busters.
That's a crazy looking knife.
