Who knows. If this turns out nice, maybe I’ll have to buy some red laces for my hiking boots.

Good game everyone. Here's a classic Barlow for fanfare. I think the Hemlock will make a nice compliment to covers like these in collections.

Now that Hemlock won is the design process over?? What’s the next step? Just curious.

The only other thing that we could possibly decide on is the style of pull on the blade but it doesn't sound like we are being given a choice. If that is the case, then it will soon be time to get an official head/knife count and then relay the order to GEC.

The shield?

It's nice to be on the winning side of one of these polls. I might not have gotten smooth white, or red, but by gum I got something I have never seen before with the hemlock.

Hopefully it won't be too dark/rich/light/red/pink/brown/green/etc for folks. I for one am excited to see how it looks in person.

You jest but there are firms that do the unthinkable and put shields on Barlows.

 

[mbkr]

I vote no shield.
Sorry. I can't stop

Hoping for interesting contrast of red edges with brownish center..

Banana engraved on the bolster for the sticklers?

These have been some fun threads to follow. If I learned anything its that, I need to acquire a #66.
Cheers all! Thanks to Charlie and Barry for putting this on and congrats Team Hemlock

 

[Jonny D]

I’m stoked to see how these turn out thanks to everyone involved!

Guess that’s all we can hope for. I just hope they don’t come out BLACK. I’m fine with any other color, but an almost all black handle would be far more boring than any other choice.

I’m hopeful. I’m also an eternal optimist. I’ll be happy with anything that doesn’t look like plastic.

That's silly. Barlows don't have shields.

I could go for a bolster stamp.

Drove home from the family reunion yesterday, slept most of today, and apparently missed this poll entirely.

Still interested in ordering one.

Well, we didn’t get a regal, striking, deep red smooth bone, but we DID get a traditional sawcut in a dignified, elegant, deep brown with some reddish flame accents. I think, gentlemen and ladies, that this is going to be a sharp-looking knife!

And if I don’t miss my guess, it will be a color that gets more interesting with use and wear, the better to encourage everyone to put these beautiful knives in their pockets and use them as intended!

Like a BF stamp in the NF stylings?

You gotta earn your red laces.

This has been a fun year of voting. Thanks to everyone for their input and of course Charlie, Bill and everyone else that will have a role in making this 2021 forum knife come to fruition. I believe this is going to be one good looking knife for sure.
