Thanks Brett, this #72 red stag is the most beautiful GEC I own, and the best designed clip blade I've ever seen.
The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is available! Price is $250 ea (shipped within CONUS).
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/
On a side note - Bdev has got me thinking of what a 73 would look like with a long pull clip. I like the thought of it.![]()
Nice Cory...the porch is rocking.
Cory Hess has once again shown how awesome the people on this forum can be. I will be the very proud owner of my first Northfield 77 by the end of the week! I'm spinning!

If you're getting the red sawcut that he posted you truly are getting one of the best ones we've seen. He got that one in a trade with me and it was the nicest out of all my 77 barlows!
Jake, he sure is getting that one. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that it was the best made GEC that I've ever handled. It's a true beauty, and I think that Macchina is just the guy to appreciate it like it deserves. When a guy starts a thread about a specific type of knife it'd be a shame if he didn't end up with one of those knives. We also made a trade recently, so I just happened to have his address handy.
I appreciate all of the kind words from everybody, but they are undeserved. Macchina, being the upstanding gentleman that he is, (and also having possession of my address from our recent exchange) has already let me know that I'm to be expecting a package as well. I don't know what it is, but it's something that he's picked out of his collection for me so I know it'll be at least the equal of that 77. I feel like it's December 22nd and I know I'm going to get a new toy in a couple days, I just don't know what it is.![]()
That's funny, my wife wrote out a big ol' list of my faults and generosity isn't anywhere to be found.![]()
