The 2014 BF project was an all volunteer effort by several members, so no profit was made on these knives, and they were all pre-paid, hence the low cost.

I picked one up as well. A definite best buy, made possible only by the generosity and passion of the volunteers.

That'un's a beauty Christian!
Unfortunately, that knife may be a tough act to follow, as it is a bunch of work to produce, track, and ship, and volunteers may not be forthcoming.

Thanks Barry. With all these stag beauties in your hands I don't know how you kept from ripping them all open to check them out, if only for a little while. Your self-control is incredible.

Received this lovely Washington Jack from Barry last week. This one has Autumn bone covers, but every one I've seen posted is a stunner.

If it were not for Barry, I would not have been able to claim this #77 Washington Jack. Thanks Barry.

I managed to piece together a full set of the anniversary edition barlows!
Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's

Nice knives, all of you!
Anyone know where any 2014 BF knives are for sale? I missed
that opportunity.
Also, who is selling the ann barlows? Missed a clip point there
as I am not online very often... thanks for any info

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
About your only shot at getting a 2014 BF knife is to buy it on their exchange page or wait for one to show up on ebay. I'm guessing it'll be a least a year before you can find one at a reasonable price IMO.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
I did get the #7 HJ for Christmas, along with a #15 that glows in the dark!

Picked a whole herd of TCs this past weekend in Eugene OR. Here's the first two.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
And here's the rest of them. These SFOs by Charlie are built very well and pretty close to custom for a production knife.

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
Got my first Farmers Jack (or Rooster) - really like the old time, nostalgic thoughts that this knife evokes in the dim recesses of my memory. Really nicely done knife - fit and finish is excellent - AND BEST OF ALL - the pull is about perfect from my perspective - about a 4 - 5 opening on each blade - and nice, positive closing snap - none of that famous GEC thumbnail busting, finger cutting, cussed pull that I have on a couple. OH

Re: GREAT EASTERN PRIVATE LABEL, CLUB KNIVES & SFO's
2 new Northwoods Broadway Jacks made on the GEC #15 frame. There were around 100 made of each.
