This one just made it to me from overseas.

It's a Solingen made Boker barlow featuring desert ironwood covers, n680 stainless steel, and copper liners, bolster, and pins. I have another version of this on the way that features damascus steel made from the salvaged parts of an M4 Sherman tank.

And as if the copper liners/bolsters/pins weren't cool enough... the bolster is integral!!! The bolsters are one piece with the liners, milled from a single copper block. Too cool.

Man... That thing is beautiful!
 
Been looking (off and on) for years to add the Spyderco Blackhawk to my collection and just found these 2 Spyderco Blackhawks -- a PE & SE -- on The Bay in just 2 weeks. :)

Despite this success, I'm still kinda annoyed because a PS version was actually being offered for sale at auction the same time. I completely missed the listing and it went unchallenged for the minimum bid. If I had seen it, I could have gotten all 3 variations at the same time!

Now, I may have to wait years again to find a PS varation. Oh well . . . 🤷‍♂️

I guess that's why they call it "collecting" and not just "buying." LOL! ;)

The Blackhawks join the complete set of Spyderco Renegades (the "big brothers" to the Blackhawks) already in my collection.
