Can someone tell me what this kind of blade is for? I have seen it on some Charlows but was wondering about it's uses. Looks like a second edge on the top of the knife and what is up with the curve at the tip?

It's called a one-hand razor. The cutout in the front is meant to catch on your pocket or pant leg so you can swing the blade open, effectively opening the knife one-handed. The spine is one ground, not sharpened. Maybe for aesthetics, maybe because the tip would be too thick; whatever the reason, it sure looks cool!
 
I had to crawl out from under my rock to post these pics. Just got back from a close friend's wedding yesterday and found a little smooth stag WJ... Oh Happy Days!!!

I had to show off the others too. Charlie's knives all have such a beautiful diversity to them. All unique in their own way, with a shared undertone of genius.

I love the pinned models waiting for covers in the background Evan.
 
Of all the knives I've had in recent years, I think I've found Charlie's Radio Jack the hardest to kick out of my pocket. So darn useful!

 
Jack..I agree with you. I recently found 2 radio knives from Barry that I needed to complete my collection and quickly snatched those up. Keep waiting and looking and they will appear.
 
My parents handed me a box tonight at dinner. Inside I found the ebony. I couldn't believe it! It was their way of saying thank you for a few things.
I just picked up the brown sawcut a week or so ago. I thought I would show them off now that I finally have a spey and spear.

I would like to hear more of the story as I found it remarkable that your parents located you an ebony TC Barlow. Very very good of them!! :eek::)

I was thinking the same thing Brett, is your Dad a knife enthusiast as well? Congrats by the way as it's a true beauty:thumbup:
 
Due to my parents health my wife and I moved in with them around a year ago. Due to the close proximity they have become accustom to the constant knife talk and graciously listen as I show them different patterns. I think they enjoy it to be honest. Though, they do find it odd that I take pics of them.

I was visiting Barry's site, when he had several listed, and I had saved one to my favorites list. My mom, being sneaky, found it, and purchased her first traditional knife. I was a little bummed when I saw it sold. Yet, knew they would go fast. It was a really great surprise.

Paul - My dad, by all accounts should be one as much as he worked with tools, but has never really been. I gave him a tc stews blade a while back that he carries now. With his Parkinsons it is perfect for him. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if loses it. :o
