My signature barlow

Terrific knife Jason. The bolster etching is a particularly nice touch. Is that a drawn swedge or a cut swedge? My old eyes aren't good enough to tell. At any rate, I do like the swedge - not a sharp, square, beginning of the swedge but a gradual transition. Hope that makes sense.
 
Very, very nice... beautiful work and attention to detail...
If you did decide to put that one into "production", how much time is involved in making one knife?
Great knife... we do laser engraving where I work, but ours is more surface stuff... that looks pretty deep.... any details you could give about the laser used, etc?
 
Stunning, that is absolutely stunning Jason! You have come one very long way in a very short time to produce the quality work that you are, this Knife is exceptional.

Edit: Going back several times to check this Knife out. Jason matey- that is incredible work, watch out knife World because it should be shaken up now with such quality work already from Jason.

That Stag is hafted very thin- that takes Skill - that is old school real quality Cutlers work showing here.

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".

Great craftsmanship. The harmony of the parts coming together as a whole is fantastic.
 
Anybody who is a Barlow connoisseur would love to have that as a 'signature' Barlow :cool: Irreverent types like me would take it into use😍 Frankly, I think the Wharncliffe is the best blade shape for a big bolstered knife, did anybody else notice that Stag??? Emperor of the Forest class:thumbsup: plus the hafting skill.

Thanks, Will
