Johnny, I don't think folks understand that your question refers to the original knife in this thread, not the recent Barlow WIP.

Thank you that was what I was asking,now it is all clear.

Thank you for the reply, I am clearly way out of my depth and struggling to understand.

I searched for stovepipe kick but all the photos have gone so have no idea what it is, further google turns up spyderco.

A question on kicks

As I was examining my newest Ryu K knife and comparing it to a similar Bose model, I noticed the kick was different. Not sure I've seen this before (except other Ryu knives). Does anyone know what this style kick is called? Here's the 'traditional' kick found on the vast majority of...

Sorry for all the confusion! :eek: Johnny, a stove-pipe kick is sometimes called a top hat kick. I'm sure you can see why :thumbsup:

Goes all the way back to when Charlie's first Ancient Barlow run was in the pipeline, but as yet unannounced. Charlie asked if I knew what the blade was called, and I set off to find out. Took longer than I'd anticipated! :D

Great recap, Jack!! You were a huge influence in me getting that project done!!👍
 
This is a great project AND this is also a great occasion to tell the whole story to those who arrived after this golden era. 😭 😭😭

PS : let's dream that a member of GEC read this thread and think it could be a great idea to make another run of Ancients,
Going on this dream I can imagine a double blade with this one and a pen, a bone or an ebony handle .... 😍😍 😍

Looking great Rhidian Rhidian !!
