2009 BladeForums Traditional Barlow specs

Thanks FLYmon looks pretty good.

Like someone mentioned it may look a little less cluttered with a roman numeral date, but this certainly gives folks the idea.

The pins will also be nickel silver.

Did I mention no shield. .

Oh yeah, for you tactical oriented guys. That stag can be covered up with paracord so don't hold back.

Nice start Flymon let's see more.

 

[RWS]

Can we get a shield in mokume?

Nice, but where's the thumbstud and clip? It looks, err...incomplete. Will it de-animate?

Seriously, it looks really good. I'm in for one. If you're still taking opinions, I like the numbered/stamped photoshop just posted. The Roman Numerals make it look more cluttered to me--more letters and the confustion of reading them in a different orientation. The Arabic Numerals look streamlined and just kind of flow better for me. JMHO.

Roman numerals could be horizontal rather than vertical,same with Arabic ones.

Gus,

May I get in on this?

 

[Bastid]

A.G.

It would be my honor. See ya at Blade in a few weeks.

Yeah, they just don't "read" as smoothly or readily as Arabic numerals, even when you know ahead of time which way they are oriented.

I like the bolster stamp/etch design with the roman numerals better, it adds a little bit of mystery and class. The Arabic numerals make this extraordinary knife look rather ordinary imo.

 

[Bastid]

Ok, let's do this.
