It's etched 'Practical Knives' and stamped 'Cyclops Steel Works' because the blade is 440C (not the usual 1095). This also accounts for the novel GEC bolster engraving - to my knowledge (which might be wrong!) this is the first time GEC have made a stainless-bladed Barlow, hence the NF or TC bolster engravings used on previous Barlows wouldn't do, because a stainless-bladed GEC isn't a Tidioute or a Northfield, it's a GEC Practical Knife. GEC made a special order of these #86 Barlows for Blade Forums in Hemlock Bone with a 1095 blade, so that bolster is not engraved at all. Great knife - I got it in the Rust Orange Natural Bone, but I reckon your OD Green Micarta is the best of the 440C bunch.
Just wanted to come over and show my support after your conversation with the Glarer the other day. Loved what you had to say and your vibe. Wondering if your into true crime? If so and you decide to start a 2nd channel discussing crime or even a channel like the Glarers where you pretty much just share your thoughts on cases, people who are a nuisance or problematic issues I'd be a sub and show my support there as well!
Thanks and I really appreciate you coming over to let me know! 👍🏻👊🏻 Yes, I have definitely been thinking about starting up a different channel that’s focused on live streaming. I’m really into true crime!
Wow dude, a knife review. I hope you do more.
Thanks! Oh yeah! 👊🏻

They should lose the laser etched logo on the blade.
