Charlie,
I hope that new Kerry wears a hole in your pocket, great job as usual from, as I call him "The Third Wheel at Wilfred"...
Great Talent = Great Knives!

Charlie, that is a real beauty. Kerry's work is very inspirational for young bucks like myself.

Here's Kerry's first 3-blade on its "home" Yellow background, proof that it made the journey safely!!
Kerry did a great job, first time out! Of course he's been going Knuts:D, practicing for years on 1-blades and 2-blades, so it was inevitable he attack one of these.
I've always had soft spots for Cattle knives, punches and patina, and so this one pushes a lot of my buttons!

Tony designed that punch some years back. Slighly hollow ground on the front, with a dagger-like grind on the back, it neatly levers the cut into a circle, and is easier to hone than most other designs. Perfect for the active horse owner, or, for fat old geezers on a diet!

My belt has a LOT of holes in it, unfortunately headed in the wrong direction!:rolleyes:
But the knife: semi-sunk joints make it a nice pocket carry, and that rich black bone, undertoned with red, makes it look like an Aston Martin with special upholstery!

The blades are nicely swedged and patina-ed, and slice paper like a fine razor!

All in all this is a fine piece of work! Definitely worth the wait!!
Thanks Kerry!!:)

I have made a few Barlows but this is the prototype clip blade. I looked through Tony's old barlows and found a Challenge Cut. Co. Barlow with a drawn swedge that I like and fashioned mine after it. It appeared that most of the old Barlows had cut swedges on the clip and I wanted this one to be a bit different.

Actually this isn't my first clip blade Barlow...I wasn't happy with the first one. It wasn't good enough for a customer but it was good enough for Tony Bose so it's in his pocket. :D This one turned out a lot better and it's owned. ;)
