SOLD First up is a very nice Northwoods (made by GEC) Madison Barlow with blue camel bone covers. I'm selling this only because it is a larger knife than I realized, and I'll be getting a smaller model (Willamette Whittler). This is a bit big for a "gentleman's folder" unless you happen to be Andre the Giant. As a working knife, it would be great, if you could bear to put scratches or dings on it.
The knife is in excellent condition, only not saying new because I've opened and closed it a few dozen times, and carried it around for a day or two, in its pocket slip. Still has the factory edge on both blades, and has not been used to cut anything.
The fit and finish on this knife is excellent. Blades are polished. The blades have half-stops. The pull on the main spear point blade is about a 7 or 8. The pull on the drop point secondary blade is, honestly, a 10. Not a nail buster, but pretty close. A little oil would probably lighten this up a bit, but as I was concerned that it was going to be more knife than I needed from the get-go, I did not want to mess with it. Given the ergonomics of this pattern, with the spear blade sitting pretty high above the frame when closed, the secondary blade is not likely to get nearly as much use as the main blade. GEC probably should have made the main blade a drop point, and the spear point as the secondary. Oh well.
Comes with the nice and practical KSF leather pocket slip.
Asking $130 shipped CONUS. And now, pics: SOLD
