Sorry meako.....Farewell to a regular on BF, we'll miss you Horriss!

Not easy-we have a dialogue. Actually he was a tame pet Bearded dragon. Sadly,yesterday, he left for that big compost heap in the sky. Only about 18months old he just
went floppy and died while at the vets. Its a total mystery. We cremated him and said farewell to our little lizard mate Horriss.

Everything I have on the #77 frame.
So far, it has been my favorite sized jack knife and, as I save my pennies, I'll add more.
Now, if I could just get one with a clip & crown lifter... :rolleyes:

Go Mr. Bitters!! Great collection so far! I am particularly digging your blood wood example! That is a looker for sure. I also covet your denim micarta. These 77's in micarta have really turned me on to the material, especially canvas. If I ever get decent light, I will get a 77 family shot up in this thread. UGH, November. . .
Thanks,
Brian
 
The 5 o'clock Barlow is in 'Pioneer Bone' from Mike's first SFO run of two bladed 'improved' Yankee Barlows.
I'm not sure how GEC differentiates between pioneer and primative bone - they look fairly similar to me.

is that the tidioute from bob bigbiscuit from the for sale?
 
Nope - I picked mine up new when GEC listed the second run of 77s in their production schedule.

I figured when the next run was announced it would boost interest in the pattern and the first run Sawcut with clip-blade would become difficult to find.
I wasn't wrong; shortly after getting mine it seemed like the remaining new stock vanished after a couple of days.

Al, that is a fine group of 77s!!! Glad you bumped this thread, I had forgotten how enjoyable it is to see all the different 77's together. I have a couple that are new to me, when time and weather permit I'll get some pics (for today it's indoor only). Anyone else have a 77 you'd like to show? Bring 'em out we'd love to see 'em.

That is one nice tower of goodness Harry!!! Can you pick a favorite? Are there any others medium barlows that you're looking for?
 
Wow, guys! :eek: Some very nice collections here. :thumbup: The 77 is one of the patterns I hope GEC runs again soon. Very happy with my 2 examples until then.

Thank you very much James and toppygray82 . Much appreciated my friends . I really do not have a favorite one . I really just have a couple of least favorite ones .
I really like Stag . The Smooth Autumn Gold is a Proto-type . The top Red one is one of my GEC's . The second Red one is my First Ever Sheepsfoot . The third Red one is the First Jigged Bone version . Then I really like most Smooth Bone and Black Wood . The bottom right one is my First Ever Wharncliffe blade . Then the bottom left one is maybe the most least liked one and I am not sure why . The only other 77 Medium Barlows that I am looking for are all in the Next Run . I really do not know what the ones from 2014 were like , so I do not miss them . All runs after that , I got what I wanted . I guess I might someday trade the one on the bottom left for one that I do not have . But I do not even know what that might be at this time .
I do still have a 77 Washington Harness Jack that is a known Second and I can not find the reason for that . I will run down the pictures of it and post it too .
Really like the 77's

Harry
