Hello all,

I just completed my 1st signature barlow custom. It's not my first barlow but my first with my signature bolster stamp. Full disclosure, I developed the stamp and it was laser etched onto the bolster. This is how I do all of my tang stamps these days also. I always loved the twin pair of Wilfred Works barlows that the Old Dog, Tony Bose and Kerry Hampton @KnifeHead did so my signature stamp is an homage to that style. Anyway, I know we all can appreciate a decent barlow and I'm quite proud of this one. Just wanted to share here for those of you not on IG. Thanks for looking and for your comments!

Knife details: AEB-L stainless steel blade and spring. Blade was cryo cycled and tested at 61 hrc. Blade has a hollow as ground satin finish and rides on a bushing. Mill relieved liners and bolsters are 410ss. Covers are premium sambar stag with spun NS frame pins. CL is 3 3/8".

Well, it's alright if you like that kind of thing...





Seriously though, it's beautiful, absolutely stunning. Really checks all the boxes for me. I love the look of the bolster stamp as well.

You knocked it out of the park, my friend!
