Marc's Dogo Recurve

[Barker]

This is Kauai Marc's Dogo Recurve. Blade is CPM 154 with satin finish, 3/16" thick at the ricasso, about 4" long. The scales are highly contoured green linen micarta. Notice the nice tapered tang. I also have T-shirts available for $20 shipped. I am out of L, but have M, XL, and XXL. Thanks!

Thank you John for the cool pictures,i am very exited about this one,i just cant wait.
Guys,if you have never handled a Barker knife,you are missing out big time,apart from the
great design,fit and finish are top shelf,just like Jerry Hossom,one of John's mentor.
Very cool t.shirts as well.

Great work....I love the grinds. I can really see the RJ Martin influence in this blade. Is he one of your inspirations?

I love RJ's work and actually have one of his Q36's, but I really didn't think of his work when I designed this one. I'll take that as a huge compliment though.
