I've not counted. Bill paid my participation with with 25 LC #14s etched and packaged as my label, and I was able to buy 20 extras at the end. 45 total LC labeled knives. That's my picture at two years old on all GEC labeled '16s and my stories in the tubes, I think the Tidioute '18s also. Not sure though. It was the greatest total of any production GEC had ever made.
I know Charlie had several 14 barlows.
The late Derrick Bohn had several choices .
The late Bob Andrews had a rotten banana, that's all I know.
It would be in GEC's totals for '16.
Lyle,you were a cute kid at two and I really liked the story. How many different stories have you told?

2016 was the first run of #14's and forecasting their popularity was impossible so there weren't near as many choices in 2016. After that run the folks at GEC, Lyle, and the other dealers had a better idea of their popularity so they made a lot more on the second run. The primary difference is that all of the 2016's had Spear blades.
Here's a #14 TC Barlow from 2016.
Thanks, Rick. It seems like everybody won on this second round of 14's. I haven't gotten in on a TC Barlow yet, but hopefully I will get lucky at some point.
