When is GEC gonna make a Barlow or Sampler? Man I got a fever for one of those patterns in a GEC. Tool and die can't be that different from the trapper you guys have been producing for the last 2 years. The blade die should be the easy part. Nice long single bolster with a reversed stamped acorn in the middle. Prefer a regular Clip blade to a California. 1 in Stag and 1 in Primitive Bone or some kinda jig bone. Just dreamin. Here's my lousy drawing of dream knife.

Spear point blade for me

Signin I saw the lines on the paper in your drawing and made me think of the jigging on a Real Barlow!!

That's a great drawing Perry!

Thanks Gary, I'm no artist. but I know what I like and I like a real Barlow, you are correct yerout. that is some cool jiggin on that Colonal Coon. 1095 carbon, lets start there. Like on the UN-X-LD Northfields. But have it be the only GEC with acorn stamp on it in 1095 carbon steel, call it A Bridge Barlow. One of a kind in the line and out of it.

Hey Singing,

It's not going to be GEC but I do know of a cotton sampler that is soon to be released that will have great natural hard to find handles that are sure to catch the eye..Just hold out a little bit longer.

Amen Perry! I have a design on the books, about 3-3/4 inches I think a bit more with a sheepsfoot and a pen blade. I have not decided between 0-1 and 1095. Only mine will have HUKK stamped on the bolster. Why not.

The thing I see when GEC comes out with with a Barlow, they need a clip, sheepsfoot, razor and I'd like to see either a saber or or Warncliffe blade in addition to a pen. They make all these blades and just think how mamy patterns this will open up once they have all the tooling for the blades. Warncliffe?? You bet, I bought some Case Warncliffe trappers and I like them much better than a traditional trapper.

Yes Hukk, that would open up alot of options for future knife patterns.
C'mon lets get it done GEC. Sunburst, are you talkin bout the Schatt line?

I'll have to squeeze a proto in between fixed blades. Just use brass liners first then think about titanium liners. Work out the bugs with the cheaper stuff. I am leaning to a traditional sheepsfoot and pen at first. I may just use 1080 for the blades, maybe a mosaic Damascus later. That is pretty far down the road at this point, I do have some drawings, that's about it so far.

[gmusic]

There was talk about Northwoods putting out a Cotton Sampler.

[singin46]

HMMM, MAYBE THATS WHAT SUNBURST WAS REFERRING TO?
