Final Vote for 2009 Forum Knife

[orca8589]

Boy, I feel like a twit. I just realized I didn't vote yet. I'm in for either pattern. I only have one Barlow, and no Swaybacks, so either would be fine with me. The fact that it's a "club knife", as stated earlier, is what makes it special. Any handle material is okay with me, but either of these in a CASE/CV-Yellow-handled style would make me happy.

Hey Kerry, how 'bout making up about 60 of those barlow swaybacks for us?

Yeah! It'll be easy! You could get a bunch of girls to help you do it!

thx - cpr

I just got a fantastic idea.

Can we expect them 'round October or thereabouts. .

Great Idea, when can send our 100 bucks?

I haven't voted or posted anything about the new forum knife selection but, it occurs to me a swayback barlow would be a pretty cool knife.

Sounds good to me. Maybe something like this swayback jack/barlow hybrid. Keep in mind this is my Photoshop hack job of a Case Chestnut Swayback.

Here's the original Case Swayback.

You need to copyright that design, that is sweet.
Now, if we can just get Kerry to do them.

Can a Barlow be done with 2 equal length blades instead of a short one & reg. one? Or does that not make it a Barlow then?

 

[kamagong]

Eek!!
In a race this close, we should only vote after we put down a deposit!

Why should a person commit to an unspecified design?

 

[Absintheur]

Maybe those "ghost" votes could be eliminated from the poll.

Actually I was merely making a joke...though ya'll had a sense of humor in here...lol. Even tho most don't post often they have been members for awhile for the most part. With my references to Chicago voting I didn't think anyone would take it serious....oh well...

It would still be a Barlow, IMO.

 

[Josh K]

My vote's on the swayback. Is there going to be a blade steel option, or has that already been addressed?

CL01, Here's a IXL Barlow with spey and clip blade, it's about 60 yrs. old it used to be called a Barlow. I'm afraid to name any thing these days, but anyway this is what it looks like with 2 full blades. Maybe some will get a different prospective on the other knife in the vote.....

Just as a reference, a Don Morrow Barlow with a Warncliffe blade.
(do you capitalize Barlow and Warncliffe?)

That is one nice looking knife.:thumbup:

I voted Swayback but I'd be happy with that blade configuration. Very nice!

Man! That is SWEEEEET! (and a darned good PS job too!)

You need to copyright that design

Don't tell 'im that! I'll never get to make one...

That IXL is Fabulous! And honestly, what I am hoping for with this knife, as per Charlies' idea before, and the fact I've wanted a 2-large blade barlow for a while... hard to find these days.

[d.parker]

Rob I think it's proper to capitalize Mr. Barlow and Mr. Warncliff as being proper names. Such a question as you asked is also a proper one as to draw attention to Barlow and Shorty Warncliff. Sorry for the thread drift.......

 

[Thomason]

I have to give Blues credit for that blade configuration. I just asked Don to make me one like the one he made for Blues.

 

[waynorth]

That I*XL is exactly what I was thinking of! Very rare, and a wonderful, useful tool.
It's especially well made, from what I see. The flat beveled bolsters, with that crisp signature stamp make it a deluxe knife!
Man, I hope enough people see the beauty of owning something like that!!
You'll be the only kid on your block with one!!

For what it's worth, here's another rare "Barlow Trapper"...Taylor Eye Witness

Worth a lot, IMO!! Nice curved Barlow!!

 

[d.parker]

I have placed a order with a custom maker for one of the what I call trapper Pattern Barlow's. Ordered with 3 1/2" closed length.CM 154 Razor blade,pen blade, 1 step bolster and Ebony scale covers.. Sure hope I get it. A real neat little knife, IMHO and hope I'm first out of the gate with one....
