Definitely in on an 86 Barlow. We’re gonna go with glitter gold acrylic, right? Let the polling begin!

Been having some crazy dreams lately, thought this was one of them. So I took a nap to be sure......and then I woke up and this post was STILL there! Happy happy happy!

How do we officially sign up for one or reserve one?

I love it. I knew there would be an 86 Barlow one day. I love he 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.

African Blackwood would look classy and would match perfect with the 2019 BF knife.

This is great - I'm in!

We are still very early in the process. The particulars still have to be decided on, Spark has to approve, the mods here have to do their thing, and the volunteers (Charlie, Barry, etc.) have to sort out all the logistics.

Like past years, there should be a new thread that gets started in the not so distant future with a sign-up option or instructions on how to do so. I'd keep a look out for that.

Brilliant! I love it! Can’t wait to see the finished product.

Ivory bone would age nicely! . . . . . . .Hmmm??
We might have handle options! It's not all clear yet!!

If we really do get handle options I second this! I think the ivory bone on this barlow would look super classy and make for a unique BF knife.

 

[black mamba]

A secondary blade and a BFC stamped bolster would make it beyond perfect, but as it is, it is beautiful and MUCH appreciated!

I guess I'm in....

I detect Enthusiasm!!
Bill asked me to report back if any of you are interested!!

GEC could make a shiv out of a toothbrush and a bottle cap and there'd be interest.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

We need at least one or two polls, even if it’s just to elect @meako to write a sea shanty for the tube and to vote on whether this will be a left handed or right handed knife.

Nice work Charlie

 

[Catdaddy2]

Can't even begin to image the logistical nightmare this project must be for those invoved in the planning and execution of this knife. I like most everyone else really do appreciate it and look forward to the final results. Thanks Charlie

Bill must be a fan of the Godfather movie franchise. He made us an offer we can't refuse.
