Woah, Barlow with bolsters less than 1/3 of handle length, and a shield. waynorth we need your expertise, Charlie, on if it is a Barlow in a classic meaning, or something unseen before?

Looks like an Homage to the queen winterbottom barlows

Sure, it's a Barlow, but I would have made the bolsters a bit longer!! As we all know, the "Laws of Cutlery" are frequently Broken!!
Beauty is in the eye; etc.!!!

Often broken Laws and definitions:
The terms; Whittler, Stockman vs. Cattle Knife, Barlow, shields on Barlows,
Too many to list!!!

I’m definitely in for a soup bone!

With the bull shield! Interested to see how they do a shield on soup bone...

Beauty is in the eye

I couldn't agree more! Absolutely! And those are coming very handsome for sure.

If anybody gets ahold of one of these and wants to pass it along, please let me know.

Not a barlow, really, but a classic jack in every way. The richlite is a great choice.

 

[LastRodeo]

That bolster looks like the bolster from the #25 barlow.

 

[gunstockjack]

Ah! A long bolster jack! That knife would look great with Smooth Autumn Gold Bone and a Hounds Tooth shield.

Super excited for the 78s. I actually scored a 39 horse rancher today as well. Looks like I’ve been sucked back into the GEC game after a break. Just when I thought I was out…

Boker sells Barlows with no bolsters, so the naming seems flexible

They make those jacks on their Barlow's frame, that's the reason of the naming I suppose, though certainly inappropriate.

Guys, I finally know what the sheeps in these pictures mean ....

....that's us

All 5 listed cover options sound great. I love my Sawcut Richlite 15 from this year so will definitely be trying for one.

Anxious to see what the jigged bone with bullet shield look like. Also interested in the whiskey barrel - wonder what the new shield will be?

I passed on the 39s so this run is getting my juices flowing.

That made me literally laugh out loud.

 

[hornetguy]

I would love to have one of the oak handled barlows..... but, alas.... my GEC combative skills are not up to par.....

Perhaps someone will purchase one that they don't plan to keep.... hint... hint...
