You don't often see "sets" of collector knives these days, but it's hard to pass up curved Barlows!!! Interesting social commentary also!!!
Sorry to hear about that Dave . I was looking forward to see photos of you in your 25 Gallon Hat at the Oregon Show , but you gotta do what you need to do to get better . I wish all the very best care for you my friend .
Congratulations! From what little I've had the privilege of seeing, I think the honors were very well deserved. I would love to make it out and see more of your work for myself one day.
Very sorry to hear about the health issues Dave. Follow Dr’s orders and get better.
Fantastic set, Charlie! Would not have been possible to refuse.Someone selling a small collection brought this to my table at Oregon! I could not refuse!!!View attachment 2157346View attachment 2157349View attachment 2157355View attachment 2157359

No fun for sure. Heal quickly Dave.
Congratulations
Rhidian
Sorry you weren't able to make it buddy, hope you're recovering from your op
Yes he did, Dan!!
Prayers for quick & complete healing, Dave!
I've been to a fair number of shows (gun, knife, car, etc.) and that is literally the place where you go to dicker. Granted, I don't know the context for the present complaint but most folks are there to get the best bang for their buck so I'd say it's all in good fun.
On to more pleasant things. The show was a lot of fun and though I missed a few folks I was hoping to connect with at the show, I still got to visit with Charlie, meet Neil and Lloyd, as well as Rhidian and a few other makers that I was looking to connect with. I had an excellent time meeting Joan Mae and her daughter from GEC - I believe it was their first time to the Oregon show and I hope they enjoyed it. It was wonderful to see the show in full swing, everyone I talked to was happy to be there and relieved that the event was able to take place again. There was legitimate concern that it would not come back after so many years of being sidelined.
Aside from finalizing a custom (which was a singular highlight) my acquisitions remained a bit modest. I scooped up a Case Loom Fixer from Charlie and a GEC #59 in Stag from Joan Mae. A handful of tables had some nice assortments of large folding hunters (coke bottles) - a collecting focus of mine - but at the prices that those are commanding, I'm a little picky on condition.
I'm afraid that I have a hard time remembering to take pictures when I'm having fun so this one that I took when I got home will have to suffice.
Hope they can get you fixed up soon. Someone selling a small collection brought this to my table at Oregon! I could not refuse!!!View attachment 2157346View attachment 2157349View attachment 2157355View attachment 2157359

I think
Fodderwing
picked up a similar set recently.
Hope your on the mend Dave...I enjoyed a 60 mile trip on Morphine once which did nothing for lower intestinal issues, Dilaudid is the only way to go, after they administered that I would've help in cutting off my own arm
Sorry to hear you couldn't make it to the show Dave. Thoughts and prayers for your quick resolution and recovery my friend.
Beautiful Charlie! I picked up the same set recently in "like new" condition. I almost fainted from excitement!Someone selling a small collection brought this to my table at Oregon! I could not refuse!!!View attachment 2157346View attachment 2157349View attachment 2157355View attachment 2157359

They are posted in your barlow thread.Rhidian's work is art in so many ways. Not surprising he swept the Knife Grammys!
Someday I'm gonna get one of his barlows.Again Dave, get well my friend.
