Northwoods Madison Barlow

Will there be a new batch of blue camel bone? I really like that version, and it might be more affordable than ivory!
 
Hartlogan, the new knife looks great. I just ordered ebony Madison clip point. Did your city knife come with the pocket sheath? I've noticed that some Bark River knives do and others don't.

Does anyone else with a madison barlow have a "bump" protruding from the back spring?
Im not too sure if it's hitting the blade and I have read that some have had Knicks in the blade straight from the factory due to this "bump".
After closer inspection I noticed it's from the pin which was riveted too close to the inner edge of the back spring causing it to catch the blade before the kick does.
IMO It's very bothersome knowing the blade is risking a knick or even worse a chip.
I could sharpen the blade down but I don't see it fixing the problem of risking the edge every time I close it.
If anyone else has had similar problems with their northwoods barlow. did you simply just send it in for repair/exchange or fix it yourselves?

Okay, just got the Madison. I love this thing, and will be doing a small review shortly, if anyone is interested. But, I had a couple questions with this knife.

Now, about right in the middle of the length of the blade on the edge, the knife is getting a good dent due to hitting the back spring when closing. When I look at the kick, it seems almost barely extrudes past the cutting edge, if any. And that causes the edge to hit the middle of the back spring in the raised section inside, and causing the dent. Its as if the kick needs to be a bit larger. I imagine sharpening it over time will get rid of this, but i don't really want to start removing steel so much already. I hope Im explaining this right. Is there anything I can do? Can the back spring be shaved a bit in the middle where it is raised?

Second, on the bolster, you can faintly see the pin for the pivot coming through. Its as if the pin and the bolster need to be just a small bit blended together better. I was thinking maybe polishing the bolster will blend it, but I don't want to hurt the knife at all, as its expensive, and I don't really have the tools to do a perfect job, unless I can get by with rubbing it with some metal polish or something like that, but I don't know if that will work. Again, anything I can do for this?

Thanks guys, I really REALLY love this knife.

The only thing to do is either send it to GEC for repair, or back to me for replacement. Either way, we have you covered and will cover shipping back.

Very sorry this got through.

I believe it will take care of itself through sharpening a bit, too.
 
Well I got my mammoth today.Every thing as it should be. Man these sure are nice.Tedward that ivory sure is nice.
 
I've been out of town for a marketing meeting and missed some stuff here. I think the only question unanswered is about more camel bone. Right now we don't have any plans on the books and have received all we are going to get (unless there is a straggler I don't know about)

Don't worry, the Madison Barlow will return. :)

Thanks a lot for the answer Derrick :)
 
:( I'm waiting for more camel bone to come. Please Bohner, make it happen.

I think I've probably already emailed everyone in this thread who owns a camel bone madison once or twice and no one has answered my WTB post regarding the knife.
