Attention Select Your Favorite Brown Tone for Sawcut Bone!!

I’m pretty sure the bolster “stamp” is part of the cast (or whatever it is called) and not stamped on. Charlie said the bolsters are already underway, so I don’t think a bolster stamp is an option. Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong.

Our bolsters are underway - I'm expecting pics!! Soon!!
Bill is probably going to make a run of His commercial Barlows also. I don't know if the bolsters will be the same as ours!! But we have tang stamps and our Hemlock dye, to make the knife ours!!

No worries here about the BF 86 Spring Street Barlow not being unique… we did the appropriate about of BF hemming and hawing. I’m sure Bill puts lots of thought into his creations, but I can bet no one has said more on the subject than us!

I'd think that the bolsters as presented are gonna be quite nicely stamped - with lines and a rat-tail treatment. At least they ain't what one would call unadorned.

That sounds great Charlie! I appreciate everything you're doing for us!

When can we have a poll on the name of the forum knife?

Do we have preferred alternates to the Spring Street Barlow??

i like Spring Street Barlow; and though i'm mostly a stainless user, i like my ancient 2.0 so much im going to try and snag one of these too. thanks for shepherding Charlie waynorth & Bill and all involved.

I vote no to any viable alternative.

Although calling it the Socrates Barlow would make me chuckle.

The Porch Barlow....?

I think Spring Street Barlow has a good ring to it, and actual relevance.

It will be a knife with a bit of mystery though...

Hemlock Green handles which are mostly dark bown/red...on a knife named after GECs address (E Spring Street), even though the front of the factory is on Caldwell St.

I love it

Ps
IF we are to come up with a name just for the bolster, with the above logic in mind, I'd suggest calling it the "Double Bolster"

Right?
Why vote for the lesser of two evils?!?

Spring street bolsters on the socratic brew barlow.

red covers on on a brown knife which is named green… its only fitting to be named for a hemlock that is entirely separate from the hemlock which it is representing.

"Spring Street" was what jumped out at me from your original post. And I think the "Spring Street Barlow" has a nice ring to it.

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

I missed this round but I would’ve voted hemlock anyway, haha

 

[JohnDF]

I must have missed it, but what connection does the name Spring Street have to the knife?

 

[JJ_Colt45]

The steel is GEC's well tempered 1095 carbon steel!
This 86 Barlow's bolster needs a name!!View attachment 1589749
Since the famous Washington Bolster was named after the street where it was "born", and this BF will be born on E. Spring street, maybe it should be called the "Spring" bolster?? What say you??

Washington Bolsters!!

From Charlie's post above.

GEC is located on East Spring Street.

GEC is located on East Spring Street.

Ohhhh... That explains it. Thanks.
