Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

That’s likely the best 77 I’ve ever seen

Well of course... it's Red Micarta.
Thank you for the kind words, Jon. I really like it a lot too.
I'll carry it a lot more after the previous owner receives his trade in the mail, delivery has been really slow.

Beautiful Ed !

 

[JohnDF]

Definitely a keeper.

Well, the other side of the trade made it so JohnDF can carry that 77 freely! Very happy to get this fixed blade from him. John was kind enough to make me a slip for it as well!

Already in my pocket.

I felt a little silly buying this, because I have several 18s. Not with this clip, though, and I wanted to reward a new hardware for coming to town and for carrying Case and Buck. Turns out the knife was $10 cheaper there than from Llamaland, and $17 + shipping cheaper than from the pastoral Case dealer.

Nice choice. I like the full clip on those Pocket Worn Red Bones.

Thanks. I only just heard of them and there one was. A kindly Providence at work?

I received my Boker (not a Barlow) Barlow BFF a few days ago and figured I'd add a few comments, since there seems to be some interest in the knife, hopefully not just because its Barlow designation is rather dubious. It does share the same basic profile, but there the comparison ends.
I really like this little knife! Right around 6", with a sturdy AEB-L stainless drop point blade, and some really pretty walnut scales. The brass pins and lanyard tube are a nice touch. It comes with a well made leather pocket sheath with a clip. It fits well in my medium sized mitt. I can get 4 fingers on it, just barely. I will probably add a short leather fob to add some extra grip.
The blade arrived sharp, with nice grinds. I took it to a leather strop with chromium oxide, and had it shaving sharp in a matter of a few minutes.
I can see myself carrying this knife more often than any of the many small fixed blades I have. The knife wasn't cheap, but I think it's a well designed, very well made example of Boker's knife making capabilities.
I do wonder what the BFF stands for. I've come up with Burnley Fixed-blade Full-tang. If someone has seen it defined, or has a better idea, I'm curious.
A few pics.

Nice write up Gary, it’s a great looking knife. My daughter says in the texting world BFF stands for “best friends forever”…so it sounds like you have a new best friend Gary.

Another good-looker.

Thanks for the impression. I might give the Micarta version a try later this year.

Thanks! I knew that BFF texting thing, but it seemed too obvious!
Having an inanimate object as a best friend! Yikes!
I do like the knife though!

You don’t have to apologize for buying that! Very nice one!

I got the olive wood in last week, and the cocobolo and jigged bone a few days ago.
