Here is an oldie that unfortunately got away from me. As Forrest says, "Stupid is as stupid does!"

I think that those were and are the finest covers that they ever mistakenly made and probably can not make again . Smooth Autumn Gold ????

77 2b Smooth Autumn Gold vs. standard version of SAG bone. Maybe it was the bone they used on the 2b because the single blade 77 in SAG bone looks like the standard run.

Time to show some of that beautiful natural micarta from past runs. I look forward to adding another example this year.

I regretted selling my elderberry camel bone user clip main sheepfoot secondary 77. I wasn't following along at the right time and missed the original notification, but was lucky enough to get in on the consolation rounds as you might say in wrestling and have an African Blackwood on the way. I shamefully don't have any ebony or AF in my rotation right now so it's fitting. Thanks Mike!

Looks pretty nice. Is that a CK photo, or is that out in the real world somewhere already? Wouldn't have thought those would have made their final destination yet from CK, assuming they went that route (and I thought all the 77 barlows went that route).

Yes, Harry, smooth autumn gold bone. I agree about it being uniquely attractive. It was only my blind preference for a clip main that ever caused me to even think about selling it, but there it is. We all make mistakes . . .

Received my no snake snakewood today, absolutely stunning Barlow in all ways, besides the wood the blade has classic traditional beauty with the matchstrike pull and the great swedges. Thank you Mike, much appreciated.

Very Nice! Wish I had known about the non-snakewoods earlier

Ordered the Red sawcut Thursday and tracking says it will ship today. Things are hopping at CK. Make sure you get some rest Mike!
