The cocobolo looks amazing but how come they profiled the scales like this - is that normal for wood?

It's not unusual on a Barlow to see that.

Common on Barlows in general

They go back and forth. The ironwood from '18 had chamfer edges like this while the '19 ebony had round edges like the olive wood.

A'ight, Thanks guys I thought it was only used with bones.

Very excited for these. Hoping that CK email comes through this week because waiting for these to drop is nerve wracking

I like it when they shape the scales like that on a Barlow - it usually leaves more "meat" and feels more substantial in hand, which is what I prefer on a work knife.

I agree, and after the bolster, the flat sides and chamfered edges say Barlow to me. Mimics the sawcut bone.

The way they shaped the cocobolo makes and the character of it in the these photos makes it a tough choice between it and the sawcut bone. All 4 options look pretty great imo

It doesn't appear the olive wood is shaped the same.

Yep I like it too. A lot of character in that wood for sure!

The cocobolo turned out really nice. I’m honestly not sure what cover to go with now.

Kind of a nice problem to have isn’t it?

I like the way they shaped those coco handles, looks more like the 2 blade version or saw cut version.

 

[tmd_87]

I love how they shaped that cocobolo!

 

[Heimdall82]

This shape gonna add some thickness and "squareness" to the grip, it's gonna be a great user in that size!

 

[Angry Waiter]

The cocobolo look fantastic. How long do we think before they ship?
