Mastersmith Ray Smith barlow- ATS-34, about 3 5/8, a bit of file work and a bit of pinch to the bolster, half stop, just a whisper of a swedge, and a couple of beautifully figured pieces of end grain sawn (sawed?) spalted maple. A really well done knife.
Got this one over in the sale forum from Praxis. Thanks Ben. And thanks to you Mr. Ray Smith.

Really a beautiful barlow. Congrats Rob. I do not think I have ever seen a nicer wooden handle than that one.
 
Congrats, Rob. I knew you'd enjoy his work!
 
You were right, Blues, I should have listened better when you first told me about him.
I don't think I expressed how much I like this one in my original post. I should have used more of these gizmos - :D:thumbup::D:thumbup::D:thumbup::D
 
ray is a real nice guy, met him last year, he got some simply beautifully knives, a true craftsman in all aspects of the trade

I agree that the knife is very well done but the lumber covers on her really is the cherry on top of the Barlow cake.. :thumbup:

And, she belongs as an addition in the old Barlow thread too. :)

Really nice Barlow, I have one from Ray, but it is with my ugly scale material that I furnished. I asked him to use it and he did a fine job, now I wish I had let him use what you did. Great knife Rob,
Congrats,
Jim
