***BARLOW IS SOLD***
The Joel Chamblin Barlow is 3 7/8" closed with a 3" blade (ATS-34/154CM - don't know which for sure) - never carried, never used, never sharpened -- totally mint. Integral stainless liners/bolsters - relieved liners, totally solid, no blade wobble whatever. Action is smooth and quite strong (but not a nail breaker) with a rounded end tang (no half stop) - great snap. Wonderful smoothbone scales -- note that the actual color is more a medium antique brown/"greenbone" - they're not as reddish to the eye as they scanned here (the scans of the spine and the blade tip show the scale colors much closer to how they actually look). Asking $365 with USPS Priority Mail included in CONUS - PayPal only please (fee included) - insurance extra (recommended).
***SADDLEHORN IS SOLD***
The Joel Chamblin Saddlehorn is 3 1/2" closed with a 2 3/4" blade (ATS-34) - it has been (lightly) carried, used, and sharpened, though it's hard to tell. Integral stainless liners/bolsters. Great firm, smooth, solid, snappy action with half stop - absolutely no wobble. Note: the yellow-gold points on the jigged bone scales are simply where the body color of the scales comes thru, which was overdyed with the nice antique brown -- colors are pretty accurate as scanned. Asking $225 with USPS Priority Mail included in CONUS - PayPal only please (fee included) - insurance extra (recommended).
A couple more scans on the Chamblin Barlow, answering a couple of questions -- about it's thickness - it tapers in thickness from the butt to the end of the bolsters (it's about 0.47" thick maximum at the butt tapering down to about 0.38" maximum at the tip of the bolsters -- with a blade stock thickness at the tang of about 0.12") -- and about how the blade tip is centered - it's not quite perfectly centered (it's offset by about the width the blade tip toward the mark side):
