Who's getting a Little Jack or Watch Pocket Barlow?

I think I answered myself, looking at the upcoming list. Correct me, if I'm wrong forum. That #25 looks sweet! At least one has already sold out.
 
It looks like the spears are up first.

Looking forward to an old tan sawcut bone. The 25 pattern was my first GEC knife back in 09 (single blade clip), so I'm looking forward to scoring another 25.
 
Yep a single clip blade 25 was also my first GEC and I love that knife. Highly recommended.
 
The #25 was my first GEC as well, a 2 blade all steel knife with Snakewood covers. I find myself more drawn to single blades now days so when I found out about these I knew I'd have to pick one up. I initially was going with an easy open until I read the available cover options on the "watch pocket barlows". Saw cut old tan bone was just way to good to pass up so I placed my order. Now the hard part starts, waiting.
 
It was my first as well, although a Northwoods Bullet Jack. I have only one other, a single blade red bone sheepfoot. I've secured an order for a Snakewood, but it'll be hard trying to choose only a couple.
 
I used to have a #25 that I gifted to someone on the forums. Lovely knife, but the pull was a bit strong for me. Besides that, the recipient really loved it. I haven't thought about it much since, however last night I dreamt that I found one in ebony in my personal belongings. Pretty random. I had forgotten that GEC was doing another run of these. Maybe my brain is telling me something?!
 
I have one on order. I know nothing about this Little Jack other than it's little and would probably fit in my watch pocket. Sometimes I surprise myself with such skill of deductive reasoning...duh, gag.
 
I can't believe there isn't more talk and or responses in regards to these knives. I thought these were one of GEC's more popular patterns, especially the single blades. Also with there being so many SFO in this run I really thought there would be a little more excitement. Granted if I'd had my choice I'd have preferred an all steel single clip blade version but I'm still pretty fired up about getting my first sheepfoot.

So what's your opinion on the lack of chatter/excitement over these? Or, perhaps, it's mostly my fault for assuming that the #25 was much more popular than it really is?
 
I've been trying to limit my purchases (and failing...) but I definitely want one of these : ) I'd love a Northwoods Bullet Jack version though, with a Bohncliff blade, that would just be the bee's knees to me : ) Anyone know if KSF's 25's will be in NW flavor?

I dare say it'll increase once they're actually made. I'm certainly excited about getting mine :thumbup:

GEC just posted pics of the finished KSF SFO #25s in black camel bone. Looks like they are not Northwoods Branded. They are regular Tidioute (albeit with smooth camel bone covers).
 
I was a little disappointed that they weren't the Northwoods we've seen in the past, but once I got past that initial disappointment, I have to say, they look pretty awesome, especially closed.
