Has anyone seen the new Primitive Percheron Bone Handles?  This stuff is AWESOME!!!

Tom,a knife very close to that could also be built on the #79 frame. The Barlow is just a matter of changing the Bolsters a little bit.I was looking at that exact Case knife in Sargents "Knives & Razors" 7th Edition when the thought about the Grandaddy Barlow on the #79 frame hit me.

Hey Johnny,

Show Gary your #71?  I know it was an SFO but we have been displaying many GEC's made for other pople.  Let's show them this one please?

Johnny,

I'd like to see GEC make a knife similar to the old Case 6231 1/2 Jack knife which is kind of like a big barlow but short of a Grandaddy Barlow. This may actually be a picture of a 6235 which is a tad smaller than the 6231 1/2 but is very similar - I couldn't find a photo of the 6231.

Gary, there was only two runs of the #71 and not too many were produced. Unfortunately it was an exclusive pattern for only one dealer, so there wasn't as much info out there as there could have been.

Bob, I can see it very easily, I think it would be the perfect fit. 

We can only wait and see, but I'd love a Grandaddy barlow/

Was the #71 the Bullnose Knife? Since it was a limited run,Special Factory Order knife available from only one distributor,and was sold out on pre-sale,many GEC fans either didn't know it was available or were unable to get one.

Johnny, take a good look at the frame of the new #79 Whittler and use a little imagination, and think "Grandaddy Barlow". Can you see it?

Gee Whiz, I didn't even know there was a #71. Looks like I gotta lot of catching up to do.

It's been a while since we last saw the beloved Barlow. I really enjoy the #25 and find it to be extremely useful. We'll see how long it'll take to get another run going, but with so many irons in the fire, it could be a while.

We haven't seen a super sized #25 barlow, but I would love to see one. The problem is, many will just compare a bigger barlow to the #73. This is what happen when the #71 was brought fourth. 

The question was, why not just buy a #73, they are so much alike? 

Truth is, they are very different and I'd love to see the #71 return. Even if there was a price hike, I'd like on in stag.
