Blade Forums Spring Street Barlow (BF Knife 2021)

[Johnnythefox]

I got out all of my previous forum knives for and inspection and joint oiling today. @T. Erdelyi used to post a picture of all the previous knives every year, however, I couldn't see that he had this year. I am missing the first four years, but, have them all from 2010 on.

That's a great collection! I wished I'd been around in 2014 and 2016. Those are the only two I really would enjoy using, I think.

The weather is getting cold now and there was a bit of a drizzle at times but my wife and I managed to get out for a little fresh air ( and the pics I wanted with my BF knife too lol )

I then spend the evening pampering my BF knife to the best edge I could give it.

Strapped to the "Leading Edge" sharpening system.
I decided to go with a 17 degrees bevel. Quick touch ups when needed will be done on the Sharpmaker at 20 degrees.

Peek-a-boo

First time I was able to whittle hair

Nice work mate. Can you tell what the original bevel was from the factory.

Nice work mate. Can you tell what the original bevel was from the factory.

I did not measure it but it was only marginally steeper, max 20 degrees.
I was able to very quickly raise a burr so the reprofiling went fast
The bevel at 17 degrees is thinner than on a few of my other knives, ... looks like the blade geometry is nice and thin behind the edge.
A great slicer

Thanks mate, the only reason i asked was i have kept the original bevel on my 2 GEC's and they are 21 degrees, so i was just curious.

You guys are laughing now but when the "barberic" Narwhal Zombie Apocalypse suddenly erupts upon all of Porchenberg I'll be safe ... on my own ... with my hair splitting BF knife by my side.
