I immediately thought of Captain Ahab on seeing that beauty.

The quote is un related to the Barlow, but I like it.

"All my means are sane, my motive and my object mad".

That looks like a really nice blade grind - pretty thin behind the edge?

Yes it is Magnacut, ground nice and thin. It is made by Sean Yaw, he is on this forum as well

And Johnnythefox it takes a lot of getting used to and it is more tiring then normal reading but I've actualy read that book

Found him... Looks like a solid maker. The magnacut is a nice touch

I finished this guy up recently. Magnacut, integral bolsters/liners, and an engraving from a professional (i.e., not me).

I really like that red handled Matt Collum one you did.

I made another barlow recently. Fairly unique looking.
