Deja Vu all over Again!!

[Rhidian]

Wonderful knives, Rhidian!! Thank you for the homage!!
I really like all the markings!! And the proportions are a great riff on the Ancients, both old and "new"!!!!
It was great to watch the ongoing progress, also!!
Thanks for riveting our attentions!!

My pleasure Charlie!!
And thanks everyone for the compliments!
The etch on the stainless bolsters is icing on the cake and opens up a whole other realm of possibilities for future barlows. Really happy with these.
I'll have to start a new thread next time as I noticed there was some confusion with the original Sheep Dips post... live and learn.
Thanks

The etches look great - they look like they have a lot of relief - very deep!!
Wonderful work, Rhidian!!

Very reminiscent of the first run ancient ebony barlows!

Thanks! Yes these are deep electo etch. Some modern laser etches are only on the surface and can wipe off

Superb in every way Gentlemen!

I love the thought of the use of Charlie’s Mark on the Bolster - it’s a meaningful addition - along with the Deep Etched Blade which gives really commands this Knife to be taken seriously

The Barlow knives have arrived, and are every bit as beautiful in hand!! I have pictured one here with an original ancient!! As you can see, Rhidian's knife is a riff on the original!! It is longer, slightly slimmer in proportion, and had has a loonng bolster!! And of course the markings are derivative!!
Walk and talk is superb!! Nicely made; in Canada !! I'm so pleased!!

 

[Campbellclanman]

Exceptional work!
LOVE that Bolster!! Seeing one of these in the One arm opening style would also be fantastic!

Fantastic Charlie, get it in your pocket I misread your post, and was about to ask you what a 'looning bolster' was!!

It only occurs during a full moon, Jack!!

Actually, one goes in my pocket, and one flies over the ocean!!

You mean I was confused which in turn confused everyone else,which turned into a conglomerate of confusion which sounds like a Jimi Hendrix song.

In other news outstanding work,it’s fascinating seeing these come together.
You skills and attention to detail are mesmerising.

Great!! I am firmly in the "deep etch Camp!!"
I can't wait to CE and CF these knives!!

What does CE/CF mean?

 

[Let'er Buck]

They look like they turned out great! What a cool piece.

 

[waynorth]

What does CE/CF mean?

CE and CF refer to old Tony Bose (R.I.P.) terms, Chicken Eyeing, and Coon Fingering!
I remember Tony using those terms when there was a horde of people in his hotel room at the Blade Show doing it to his knives before the show opened!!

Time to turn the page!! Another antique come to life!!
