That is a rare one!Wow that’s a pretty low number !
I’m really happy I was able to get one
The covers really are nice .
LoL Yes it’s a rare One and couldn’t tell you as far as the covers . Except it looks totally different in hand and what ever the application was it’s done very tastefullyThat is a rare one!
The covers look like they have the same coating that you hated on the 43 !? The one that looked sprayed on? Or is this one different?
Haha, yeah.
No, I wasn't one of The fortunate. The way I understand it, it was a show exclusive!!?
Glad your 'persistence' paid off!![]()

I'm thinking my originally Ivory Bone TC needs a dye touch up. I could go black and get it nice and dark, but I was thinking red. Might give it a nice undertone. Thoughts?
I might also dye my Smooth White Bone #78.
Also, were there any red sawcut bone #14 TCs made? I can't find the production totals/info on GEC's site anymore.
Looks FANTASTIC!I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Looks nice and dark deep black and red in the shadows and really great in the sun with some cool coloring.

Edit: I saw only only 6
I was there bugging Charlie for a hour before the 9:30 release time
So There was only 6 With charlie before the start time.
But there should be few more out there then that so I’m just Speculating.
Mr. C told me 25 show special TCs were made. Love the covers.
Too bad you didn’t pick one up, you could have traded for one (two or even three) of the knives you are looking for in your signature line.Glad you were able to land one, my friend. He had 2 left when I got to him, which was around 11(ish) on Saturday. I was rather surprised to see them still there, to be honest.
He told me the same. I had the pleasure of getting to fondle one and it confirmed my thoughts regarding the soup bone covers. I love them! Though I certainly prefer the color of the red ones that were released some years ago.
Unfortunately, I couldn't justify the expense as I am buying a house and have a number of other knives heading my way at some point. Plus, I really do prefer the 2-blade 15s, especially for use. One of these days I will find a 2-blade TC, it will be nice to see how they measure up to the 2-blade 15 regular jacks.
Thanks ! This one is very special to me. No but you made me look lol !TheFactor did you notice on the tube of your special TC Barlow Tom Sawyer is wearing red high top shoes???
That’s an awesome tube and special knife!
Thanks ! This one is very special to me. No but you made me look lol !
Holy S*** he does have on red high tops
Wow you’ve got some first class attention to detail !!!
It has just moved up a few notches on my Grail scale
Thanks very much for pointing that out![]()
Yes you do and I probably would of never noticed lol .I’m glad I could point that out for you.
I really enjoy advertising art and used to collect old signs so I guess I pick up on small details.
That show looked really great from the pics I saw in another thread.
