Gabon Ebony and long-pulls...

LOVE a TC Barlow ebony with long pull! Such a grail and I think it would make the perfect complement to my 3rd cut stag. I see one is listed on the auction site but the prices have been getting pretty high lately! That being said I think these knives are worth whatever anyone pays; definite classics.

On a separate note, did anybody see Collector Knives post the blueprint for the new medium barlow pattern 77 for GEC? I'll be curious to see what the abalone looks like.

Payton you should check out the "Lets Talk GEC" thread. Mike has given some info on the 77s.

I wouldn't mind seeing a pecan or mesquite barlow.

Looks like you need a long pull clip, primble. 😉

There is one in the group picture - the antique amber saw-cut long pull clip.

Whatever light you are using makes that Red look extra fine, Rob!

Thank you Charlie - it is natural outdoor light, a bright cloudy day.

That Red Saw-Cut is beautiful.

Thank you sir and thank you Charlie for it. :thumbup:

That really is a stunning knife! Wow!

I love it too Duncan!!! Thank you friend. :thumbup:

These look quite tasty!!

 

[Parke1]

Very interesting, indeed. They need to say "TC" on them, though!

 

[arizonaranchman]

Oh wow! First I've seen these! I'm already plotting now... Grrrr!

TC would be for Tidioute Cutlery. These are Northfields...

Yep, looks like Mike has hit a home run with this design.

Any more plans for soup bone TC spears with long pulls? Any more plans for spears with long pulls?

 

[silenthunterstudios]

Were anymore spears produced in the soup bone series? Any spears coming up, whether nail nick or long pull?

 

[arizonaranchman]

Another request for long-pulls here too Mike!

Perhaps in African Blackwood with a long-pull spear? :thumbup:

 

[Primble]

I remember Charlie mentioning the possibility of this Northfield Barlow, some time ago.

 

[silenthunterstudios]

These look quite tasty!!

I thought these were Mike's SFO, are they Charlies?

 

[Primble]

I thought these were Mike's SFO, are they Charlies?

I did not mean to imply Charlie's SFO - I do not think Charlie has anything to do with these - but - he did mention the possibility of the Northfield Barlows, if I remember correctly.

 

[arizonaranchman]

Dan,

They're Mike's...

 

[arizonaranchman]

Primble,

Yes I remember Charlie foretold of such a thing...

 

[arizonaranchman]

What's the frame size on the 77? Is it 3 7/8"?

 

[Ribeyeguy]

What's the frame size on the 77? Is it 3 7/8"?

3 11/16"
I wonder what the asking price will be.
