Spring into Spring with a "Barlow a Day for Thirty Days"

I wish I had seen this thread sooner.

I've been carrying the same folder for almost two months straight so it's about time I switch it up a little. Barlow, you say? Yeah, I think I can ride out the rest of the allotted period with a Barlow in my pocket. I'll carry this old favorite for a few days - maybe more!

Day 8:

The Barlow and the Lamb,
The Barlow and the Lamb,
Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The Barlow and the Lamb!

Do you guys know that one? Pretty sure that's how it goes, right?

For the last few days, I feel like the theme of my pockets has been barlows and lambsfeet, and you'll have no complaint from me about it.

Except that I'll probably have that song stuck in my head the rest of the night. Curses, Ol' Mother Hubbard. A pox upon thee.

The cheese stands alone,
The cheese stands alone,
Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The Barlow and the Lamb!

Today's barlow is a GEC 252123 EO Beerlow dressed in Bois d'arc -- that's "Bodark Wood" for the hillbillies, and Osage Orange for everyone else. Take your pick of the names. You'll get no judgment here.

Along for the ride is a DIW real lambsfoot knife made by the one and only Eric Albers. Interesting tidbit, the Albers lamb and the TEW lamb I carried yesterday are nearly dimensionally exact, except that the TEW is quite a bit thicker overall due to the second layer for the pen blade. Eric said he was inspired by historical examples - I wonder if there's some TEW DNA in the final design? 🤔

Have a gr8 night! Day 9 looms impendingly!

2 fours on those fancy dice = day 8 … pretty ingenious I say !

Hi-ho, the derry-o ! 🤣

Been a number of very fine looking GEC 25 Burly Barlows shown lately, a great interpretation of the pattern which includes a seriously stamped bolster. These are not for the weak of thumb though....:D

Sorry if I come across as a Copy 🐈 but I do love the Burly version 😻 shown here in rare Drop-Point form that lies nice and low in the well-but you need a warrior's thumbnail to open one- fortunately I have.

DAY NINE
