Mom and dad just got back from North Carolina from a 4 week hiatus from normal living. (their working outta town). Well anyways, Dad brought home a couple new additions!
Kutmaster Barlow
Colonial 3-blade stockman
Custom Peanut unknown maker and unknown steel
Im mostly interested in this Kutmaster Barlow. Its my first one
I have an older Boker Treebrand Barlow, but I like the nut better. Its oolllld and someone sure used the heck out of. They even replaced the main rivet with what looks like an old penny nail or something they hammered down on both ends. so there is a little blade play on the main blade, but it cuts like a durn razor.
The colonial small stockman has to missing bolsters, the other two have the brass coating off and its missing the shield.
The little custom made peanut is made from rosewood? It sharpened up fairly nice off an old norton arkansas stone my grandfather use to use. Alright walk and talk, no blade play. The blades are a stainless steel I believe, the brass bolsters are tarnished a little, the back springs are developing a small pantina, and blades are fine and there aren't any large gaps or spacing anywhere on the knife. It looks and feels fairly solid.
