News from GEC!! Bill has made us an offer!! I think it also previews a knife he will make later in the year! Tell me what you think!!View attachment 1541829

This one was hoped for when they first talked about the 86 pattern. Even though I’m not a huge barlow guy, at this size I’d be game for one!

That's a BIG Barlow!

I love it! I would be in for two as well! I hope this works out.

Also, thanks @waynorth for championing this for us!

I like it a lot. And I think it will be EXTREMELY popular. I wonder how many they would be willing to make, because I would really like to get my hands on one.

Anyway, thanks again, Charlie: Patron Saint of BladeForums Traditional Knives.

What great news, the single bladed 86 is such a great size! Count me in, thanks Charlie!

YES!!
That's the bolster and barehead setup the 86 should have! I won't even push for Ebony this time (even though it's clearly the right choice) Any natural covers will do.
Home Run!!
Thanks Charlie, Bill and Barry!

Thanks @waynorth Charlie and @gunstockjack Barry for your willingness to seek out and service the order. Hopefully @Spark will be willing to give this one approval.

just to keep it on the current page

I'll probably get one. 3" blade?

 

[joetothemo]

That looks incredible. Count me in.

 

[Sventhelumberjack]

Yes please! Huge "Thank You"s to Mr. Charlie C., Bill and the crew at GEC, and Barry at Gunstock Jacks for all the generous help and offers to make this a possibility!

 

[chaininsomniac]

I'd absolutely be in for this!

 

[foofie]

Looks perfect. Thank you.
Definitely getting one (or two if allowed).

 

[Travman]

I love it. I knew there would be an 86 Barlow one day. I love the fluted and lined bolsters combination. I love single blade 86’s like the 2019 Forum knife. I do hope we choose some version of saw cut bone like what is shown in the concept picture. Thank you Charlie for all you do.

 

[madtaz63]

Cool.. this will be awesome Charlie!

 

[6Strings]

Have been hoping for this, definitely in!
