So I am slow keeping up and I have to say I am out of touch on this one. I have seen a few references to the #77 barlow SFO (not the forum knife) and was wondering if these are all sold out or if there is anywhere I can check to get more information or even better to score one!

Thanks in advance for any information.
 
GECs site lists the dealer that ordered the sfo barlow. I would check with him first.

I pre-ordered one two days ago but a lot of handle options are all ready gone.
 
We had been talking to GEC about a medium barlow on the #78 frame for some time. But generally they like to run several hundred of a frame thru when they do a production run, to get economy of scale. So, when the BladeForums knife came along I got my call that we were good to go and I put my stamp of approval on the new #77 frame. At that point Charlie's Washington came into focus as well and turned a small SFO into a fairly larger run of solely SFO's but three distinct knives.

I agree, it is difficult to know all the places to look to stay privy to all the information. GEC's website does a fairly good job of listing their schedule, and even better job at showing what is in the pipeline on the right side of their pages. But many distributors also keep a schedule up to date, such as mine under "GEC Schedule" on the site that will list every knife we will have access.

The hard core folks around here not only know every location that hides the trail of crumbs, but they keep them a closely guarded secret :D

Will all of them have 2 blades?

Thanks,

Means all of the pre-orders are spoken for, and you would be putting your name in a list to get one if someone ahead of you backs out.
 
That means if he is alotted 10 knives, then they have all been spoken for. A standby list is created in case some of the original 10 reservations are canceled or backed out of.

The flippers buy them and resale on the auction site.

More often than not, the knives are not "flipped". In fact if you watch, you can get better deals on the secondary market.

Mike, what's the ETA for the single-bladers?

No ETA. Whatever I do on these will be spaced out so those that have a budget can pick one up. (not to mention my checkbook needs to stay in black ink)

This was in another thread, but thought I would show the liners here as well.

Mike,
Do you know if these are going to come out before or after the #77 Washington Jacks? I was initially not interested int the Washington, but it's growing on me. If they're spaced very closely together, I may need to free up some funds. Thanks for putting all this together and having a waitlist, it takes a lot of the anxiety out of an upcoming release like this!
 
I don't know which one will be first, but they will be right on top of each other.
Mine was suppose to be first, but Charlie smoozes Bill so much he may have line-jumped me :D
 
I'm pretty thankful the BF knife was prepaid, becsue you guys are causing all kinds of havoc with my budget just before Christmas.
 
Really liking those bolsters, nicely done! Looking forward to seeing these finished up.
 
I'm on the list for the #77 and looking forward to them! Too bad we won't know what order the covers will be released. I've got my eye on another knife but I don't want to pull the trigger if my 77 is about to hit the shelf.
