Blade Forums Spring Street Barlow (BF Knife 2021)

Many thanks to Waynorth for helping us Canadians out! The Barlow has always been my initial draw towards traditionals, and this 86 pattern is like a man's size Barlow!

Well, I finally got mine in the Netherlands! Better late than never and whatnot! I really like this knife. The sawcut pattern matches well side-to-side, no gaps, crisp action, and the domed pins are perfect. Nice and slender for a larger knife. If I were to nitpick, the spring is slightly proud at the half-stop and the tip could be a little deeper in the well (the same as on my two 86 2ABs), but that's being really particular. I am very pleased.

Sorry for the crappy photos. Dark at this hour. I tried to give it an authentic Dutch background, at least: Dutch cheese!

JTB_5 JTB_5 Really satisfying composition there Joshua. Have to say that your Stag WO is the only one I've seen that has decent antler on it, most seem very lacklustre in comparison . I'm impatiently awaiting delivery of a bone WO, but it will take weeks, they do make a fine pairing with the current Forum Knife.

Thanks, Will

Thank you, Will. I do feel like I lucked out with the 68 stag. It has a considerable about of blade rub, which I think is abnormal, but the stag is outstanding. I gave both of these knives a fresh edge last night (along with a micarta 86 barlow) and they both a feeling fine and fancy free. The fancy bolsters and comparative clips do go together nicely.

Finally found some time to open my “S”. Many many thanks to waynorth waynorth !! Charlie, I have never received a knife as well packaged as yours was, I learned a thing or two! Thank you Peregrin Peregrin as well for all your help. I’m shocked this came from Canada already so quickly! Extremely grateful and lucky to have had the opportunity to snag an “S” forum knife. There is nothing on this knife that I can notice that would make it an “S” model, it is absolutely stunning, maybe even more so than my regular forum knife. One in the safe, and one I’m about to go stick in something!!
 
I had a beer with the local postie at the local brewery on Saturday...I felt as if I was in the presence of a god....knife shaped clouds today portend the arrival of my knife this week.
Be silent foolish one!...only when you have seen the giant seabird with knife shaped beak will you be ready to receive the last bf2021 tradforum knife....
Yeah but I saw two yesterday.....
Then you are ready....but be not hasty for we have not heard from Campbellclanman Campbellclanman Duncan for a while.....
