Great work Stefan! I'm really enjoying my Lanny's clip from you!

 

[afishhunter]

Fantastic knives!

That Barlow is beautiful...I don't even like mother of pearl generally, but it fits on that one

 

[Sabercat]

All gorgeous Stefan! My favorite of that group is the one arm Barlow. All of your work is great though.

I think the spear and D in the pearl Barlow bolster makes a nice logo too.

You make beautiful knives with a lot of style. The pearl barlow is interesting, not a thing that is often seen but it sure looks good.

 

[Fodderwing]

Elegant and beautiful is your work sir. I especially love the barlows.

 

[tongueriver]

All beautiful! My favorite is the pearl barlow, for sure.

 

[Wowbagger]

Thank you for posting your fine work ! ! !
The blue Sod Buster does it for me for sure.
A question about the last one : is that water buffalo horn or ebony? I'm thinking buffalo horn.

Second question after all : Sorry to be so out of touch . . . are these 1095 or CPM-154 ?
Or what?
Thanks

All are stunning, but The one arm barlow takes the cake! Nice work

Thank you.
That is African buffalo. Really shines up beautifully. I have never worked with water buffalo, but I think it shows a bit more mottling.
The steel on these are all Böhler N690. Not a well known steel in the US, but one that is used quite a lot here in South Africa. I've always had very good results with it and ot makes a very good blade.

Wonderful work, Stefan! That pearl barlow is just beautiful!

 

[Pinemoon]

Gorgeous work
I have two knives with N690 and like it very much.
Do you have a website?

Amazing work, the one arm Barlow probably my favorite of this group. I think a long pull on the clip Barlow would look nice too. Their all quite stunning though!

Böhler N690

Say no more. That is killer great steel !
I like the way it sharpens and I like the way it holds an edge. Darned rust resistant to as I understand it. No rust prob where I live so I haven't put that particular aspect to the test.
