I really love the look of the TC Barlows posted here. I have just completed 5 months of chemotheraphy for Lymphoma and want to give myself a present. Problem is I can't find this knife anywhere. If anyone can give me some info on how to go about obtaining one, it would be most appreciated. If possible, I'd like a single blade version with ebony handle. Thanks!
 
Sorry to hear about that horrible disease... my dad is suffering the same sort of cancer - All The Best And A Fast Healing- !!!

Tks for the encouragement. The cancer made me spend more time at home and online and that's when I found this forum so it's not all bad :)

I hope you get well soon. And stay healthy.
 
I just checked every web site that sells GEC, and found only a 2 bladed Barlow in blood red bone at (non BF Dealer link removed). They are a paid forum vendor. Everyone selse, btw, is sold out. You may be lucky and find one for sale in the classifieds here, or elsewhere; that ebony is s tough one to get...Lord knows I've tried.

Yes I know about the one available that you mentioned. Looks like I might have to look at other brands like Northwoods instead.

I bought mine directly from the creator himself Charlie Campagna (waynorth - forum name) it's worth emailing him :)
 
me too- and the link I sent you appears to be out of stock-sorry bout that.
 
Sorry to hear about the illness yatsunil, hoping you're on the road to recovery after those treatments. It's hard enough watching someone go through chemotherapy treatments, I don't like to imagine what it's like having to experience them.

I took a look around, there are still some red jigged and chestnut jigged bone TC barlows kicking around certain websites, only in the swedgeless spearpoints from what I can see. The only single blades I've come across are in the blood red bone covers.

Strike that, only double blades after having a second look, apologies!

As I understand it, there is a new run of TC barlows that will be coming to market soon. I'm not sure exactly when they will be available, but if I remember correctly they are to be the "one armed" or "razor" type barlows.

Chemotherapy is something that I will not wish upon even my most hated enemy. It's like slowly poisoning yourself. But I'm recovering as well as can be expected. Still a ways to go yet.

If you can privately message me where you found those single blade TC Barlows, I'd really appreciate it. Guess I can't be too picky about covers on a knife as rare as this.

Good to hear that a new run is in the works. But I don't understand the terms "one armed" and "razor" - can you elaborate please.
 
"One arm" or "razor" refers to the blade type. Here's an example of a Crandall (Case family brand) "one arm" Barlow. Note the main blade.

And best of luck on your treatments! My 7 year old grandson was just declared cancer free after battling Neuroblastoma since he was 2-1/2. We're so thrilled!

After having a second look I could only see double blades, sorry mate, I edited the post to reflect this. Also, you'll need to attach an email to your profile so that everyone can send you messages, I don't yet have PM'ing privileges.

Thanks for the pic. That main blade looks odd. Don't think I can live with that :(

Congrats on your grandson's recovery. Must have been especially hard on such a young boy.

No worries about mistaking the availability of single blades. The search continues.
Anyway I've fixed my missing email. Didn't even know it was hidden!
