2022 Lick Creek Barlow #14 thread

[HEMI 49]

I have had 300+ GECs pass through my hands and never had one with side to side play, including the 4 barlows from this run.

Ditto.....

I have been out of town, so I am just getting these. The pull is on the lighter side for sure, however it is a boy's knife, therefore it seems appropriate to me. Anyway these beautiful knives will be my daughters Christmas presents this year. Perfect size for a couple of teenage young ladies if you ask me.

I really thought I’d prefer the lighter examples from this run, but the darker one on the right is really striking. Excellent gift for your girls!

Great pictures. That Chestnut one steals the show for my tastes. I love the look of that wormy and weathered classic wood. Thanks for sharing the group pictures.

Took my #14 out the tube again today and noticed one side of the TC bolster is colored in dark and the other isn’t. Anyone have one like this?
I’ve noticed a few pictures so far that have them filled in dark.

How would y’all suggest me filling in the other side? Black Sharpie?

It looks very nice to me. Personally, I wouldn't risk making it not look good, by trying to attain perfection.

I think you're right. It would look really nice if the show side was colored in as well but probably not worth the risk of making it look bad

It will likely darken on its own over time. White bone tends to yellow as it ages.

Oh I was referring to the TC that's darkened in not the actual bone haha. If you look closely you will notice what I'm talking about. I think the bone looks great on both sides as well

Haha... sorry about that.. yes I see what you mean now. I have used Brass Black to fix that in the past.

Does Brass Black adhere well??

Those are really cool.

Me too, I have a room reserved. My Mamaw taught me to never say I'll do this or that without the Lord's caveat.

You could start using it, plenty of sweat, oils and dirt'll colour it in nicely Looks a handsome example as it is.
However, yes I think a thin permanent ink pen with fine tip will do the trick, wipe off any smudges immediately and let dry in the air.

Tidy looking bone on that one

Thanks, Will
