Today's score and my first custom!!!

[xtonesterx]

this forum rekindled my love for traditional slip joints and i kinda went on a little shopping spree this weekend. got a Case C. Platts' Sons barlow with i think its walnut bone scales. also got my first custom, a Bill Simon's swayback jack with ATS-34 blade, stainless bolsters and liners, with red bone scales. i love this pattern. the fit and finish is amazing. i gotta say this swayback has me wanting to get more customs…

enjoy the pics!

Sweet barlows. I lost an Imperial Barlow last week. Threw it in my pocket and at the end of the day it was gone.
