Back in 2017, I brought a poster of Russell Barlow catalog drawings to the GEC Rendezvous! I showed it to Evan Nicolaides (of ESNYX fame),
and he said he would try and make that pattern for me!! Since that time, Evan has made a lot of knives, and won many Awards,
putting his own spin on traditional Pocket Cutley!! But he never forgot what we discussed. I gave him the poster, and he spilled coffee on it,
but the poster lived through it!!
April, 2025, Evan decided it was time!! I received a package in Eugene, at my motel, and I'll always remember that day!! Just in time for the Oregon Knife Show!!
The three knives are handled in Gabon Ebony, Mammoth and Sawcut Bone!!


Evan called this curved Barlow "Charlie's Choice!!" I approve!!!
