So the latest email form smkw shows a Bear and Sons Barlow with lovely green bone scales..beautiful tone but theyve spoiled it with a frankly idiotic 'mull leaf' shield....Why?
Its about as subtle as the blitz. It actually makes those Cooper? dope leaf shields look tasteful..it looks like its been photoshopped ...either way ...it spoils the look....I wonder if they are easy to remove.

It's a premium product as well.

Interesting turn of phrase.

Well…I guess this one where you don’t want to oil the joints?

I like the straight edge secondary. Pretend it's a grape leaf?

I’m more offended by the font on the blade etch than the shield (which does look like it was photoshopped on there).

 

[mitch13]

Tacky!

9/10 train wreck.
The weird drop point / clip hybrid main.
Promising secondary with weird secondary French pull.
Self-declared “premium product”.
Pot leaf shield… on a barlow.

More like “sets the bar low”, ammirite?

Missed opportunity to make that long pull even larger, though.

I pinched that one off John Cooper Clarkes
"Salome Malony"

they put too much oil in the joints I reckon.

 

[EngrSorenson]

At least they had the decency to tell me it’s a premium product, or I might not have known it.

Put it this way...It'd be a nice looking knife without the reefer reference

It’d be a Bear and Son looking knife without the reefer reference. Now it looks like Bear’s son got a hold of the marketing department in a nepotistic maneuver, and giggled while he drew the pot leaf on there.

Either that or transmission fluid.

 

[Biochemdawg]

I do like that green bone

Definitely not…unless. hash oil???

They must have consulted with Rough Ryder on the design details…
