GT !!!
That is a VERY CLASSY knife right there my friend . How does carrying that make you feel ????? One of the nicest of all the 77's IMHO .

GT ^^^ What Harry said! :thumbup:

That knife is an absolute work of art. That wharncliffe blade is something else!

...
GT, that is one classy barlow!
...

Thanks for the compliments, guys!

Harry, I feel fortunate to have won the knife, and I feel honored that, to even qualify for the GAW, some Porch dwellers had to nominate me as a contributor to our community here. :thumbup: But, to be honest, so far I also feel very nervous when I'm carrying that beautiful knife, since its "market value" is so much more than most of my knives! Not sure why that even makes a difference, because I'm never going to sell it, and I have no qualms about carrying other knives I have with even more "sentimental value" than this 77 Barlow. Every once in a while, I find myself doing some quite illogical things in connection with this pocket knife hobby!

Erik, great pic of your light bone 77 Barlow. I used to think of you as the guy with the peerless Presidential, but I think I'm going to have to change my idea of what your "primary knife" is! :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks Bob, took me a while to locate one and I won't even mention the cost ...but it was so worth it.
To me this is one mighty fine blade!

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.

Thanks! The 77 is a great pattern!

That's a slam dunk, not a bump. Nice group.

Thanks, Joe!

My 77's

Love seeing that tower full of 77s, Harry!

Did I hear someone say Bump? It has been 2 years this month since I first posted this six pack of Northfield Barlows.

Yes, you did and what an answer!

That is the nicest Polished Stag Washington Jack I've seen! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks folks for your kind words. The 2014 Forum knife is simply outstanding!

Fantastic photo Sir!! You've captured all the details (swedge, bolsters, shield, stag) of a gorgeous knife very well!!

Thanks guys, it really is a gorgeous knife. I really like how it turned out. It's smooth stag but yet it still has depth and character.

Here are a couple other favorites.

 

[coiledwire]

I don't post too often around here, but I really do enjoy a good slip joint. The 77 Barlows are my favorite. One day I'll take a photo of them all, but here is the one I carry the most.

We're glad you posted here today coiledwire. That is a beauty and well photographed, thanks! Please do come back when you can, we'd love to see the other barlows from your collection.

I just developed a fascination for the Washington Jack after looking through the pics!
