I like it! Im in for 2 as usual. Thanks Charlie, Barry, and Bill!

 

[JOELSM]

I’m in for 2 on this one! Bolster stamp would be icing on the cake.

 

[Bulkington]

Wow those are going to be amazing. Definitely a pleasant surprise that they are revisiting the 86 pattern so soon.

I'm definitely in for my two. If I'm offering input, I think the bolster stamp is a priority, as are bone covers and not micarta on this barlow. Even if the bolster is bare and the covers are canvas micarta, I'm still in for two. Thanks for taking this up again, waynorth and @gunstockjack !!!

 

[Burnt Stag]

Awesome news Charlie. Count me in for 2. Exciting news.

 

[euroken]

Wait you can request two? Put me down for two also then! Lol

 

[danno50]

I like it, Charlie. Will be in for two, whatever the handle material.

 

[cbr1000]

Hooray! I'm in for 2.

 

[knifethetank]

I’m in, hopefully for more than 1, Thank you Bill at GEC, waynorth Charlie for making this happen and to @gunstockjack Barry for all the work ahead of him to get these knives to us

Can someone please post a picture of an 86 next to a 97? I'm trying to figure out the size of this knife (having never seen an 86 in person).

Thanks!

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.

Listen to this man!! He knows the Ropes!!

 

[JC024]

Awesome news. Thanks to everyone who made/ is making it happen!

 

[Snodgrass]

This is great news. Thanks for the update!

 

[bigfish64]

I’m in for at least one! Thanks to all involved!

 

[Easyrider]

I like what I see for this year’s forum knife. Thank you everyone who got us this far!
I know there are many things to be decided and or approved but I think some Macassar Ebony would look really nice for the covers.
