The GEC website says the 73 with hoof picks are carbon. Wonder why they went with the acorn shield? Just leftovers?
That's what they did for the last hoofpick run so I doubt it's due to leftovers

With this 93 variant and the forum 86 variant, that is going to make for a lot of GEC sheepfoot blades. Hopefully they will take a bit of a break afterwards.
Great idea, John.I had a random GEC thought the other day...
There are no "general run" Barlow offerings from GEC. They are pretty much pricey SFOs, which makes it harder for the general public to enjoy a very popular knife pattern from their favorite knife producer. Charlie has the corner on the Tidioute Barlows and Mike has the corner on the Northfield Barlows. I would like to see GEC produce a lower priced Barlow under their Farm and Field brand. I think it would fit the historic nature of the Barlow being an everyday man's knife, built cheaply and tough... and it would fit the hard-working nature of the Farm and Field brand. I mean how many of us would snatch up a plain F&F Barlow with Delrin or Micarta handles? A bunch of us I'm sure.
I've been begging for a curved Barlow on the 74 for years!Hmmmmmmm....
Thanks, that slipped my mind.FYI GEC does run the 25 as a Barlow too.
I think the Rendezvous is about more than just obtaining select knives.Why spend all that money going to Rendezvous , when you can get a great custom blade-smith to make the perfect knife of your dreams ?

Are the 47 Hayin’ Helpers only offered in orange on this run?

I don't know them to put bolsters on farm and field branded knives, and an extended bolster is what defines the barlow, but hey there's always a first......
That would be cool, especially on the 74 or 71 frames, but I imagine it's too similar to the Northwoods Madison... Which they've done in Micarta and sold for much more than F&F price levels...
