This is amazing to me! 100 pages later, we still have Barlow stuff to talk about!
I am going to give somebody here a Barlow!!

We don't have one to chicken-eye yet, but I suspect we all have a good idea of what they will look like!
So here are the rules;

1) All my GAs are for loyal contributors, so you must have at least 5 posts in the "What makes a Good Traditional Barlow?" thread, before today!!

2) You must post a Barlow pic - use your imagination and thrill us!! One entry please.

I will farm out the number choice to another trusted BFer, maybe a Mod if one will agree.

Not an entry, Charlie. I´ve already been the reciever of your generosity some time ago and I´d like to get another member the chance.

Just wanted to say thank you for the great thread we have here about the Barlows.

(BTW: I even don´t know if I have at least 5 posts in your thread, but it´s great fun to read)

What a wonderful knife and pattern

 

[black mamba]

Charlie, I broke out a new photo for this wonderful giveaway. To my shock, I had 20 posts in the barlow thread.
Thanks for all your contributions and generosity. These sure are nice knives!

 

[pertinux]

Thanks, Charlie! You've been more than generous to me as well, so I look forward to seeing who else gets to enjoy your beneficence.

Regarding your Giveaway, a quick refresher for everyone regarding post counts:

While one cannot go wrong re-reading all the pages of The Barlow Thread and enjoying the pictures, information, and banter once again, in order to more quickly determine how many posts one has made therein simply click on the number of Replies to the thread when in the main forum view:

Some of us have, er, well, really like that thread.

Pictures. Alpha and Omega (so far, because we're not yet at The End-- but the antique amber clip ended a whole lot of Want in my little heart):

Thank You, Charlie.

[Hammer67]

Count me in, and thanks for all you've done for such a fine pattern, Charlie!

 

[burnside]

I'm in! I just checked my post count in the barlow thread and I have 60 posts so far!

Edit: I switched out my 1st photo for a fresh and thrilling brand-spanking-new photo.

Thanks for the chance at winning one of the new (about to be released) TC Barlows! These are among the best knives currently produced.

Back on topic.Quick draw Campagna has come out with guns blazing again.Seems he has a never ending supply of ammo.

Give a kid a toy and what does he do,play with the box.I did the same when I got my Charlows.These whitewash containers are works of art.

Charlie,I'd like my prize with bark ivory covers please.

Bearing in in mind that I don't currently HAVE a Barlow, I'm quite astonished to see I have 44 posts in the Barlow thread! Nice to see it still running. The Charlows have been a real successful project and great to see. A good pal has one for me, so hopefully I'll be able to post about it in the Barlow thread eventually. Well done Charlie, and thanks for everything

Here's a pic of two late 18th Century Sheffield-made Barlows, as posted by me in the thread.

[paulhilborn]

Thank you Charlie for the greatest knife I've had the pleasure of owning :thumbup:

Please count my in.

In honor of our Holiday tomorrow

Paul

 

[JustinR]

This is my 3rd charlow and my favorite.

 

[Bigfattyt]

Well, the thought of a TC barlow makes me weak in the knees!

Here are my most used Barlow's.

I made a spicy Korean smoked pork loin on my grill the other day. Indirect heat, apple wood fire.




(I checked my post count before posting this, and had 6 posts in that thread).

 

[expwmbat]

Not an entry--I don't have a barlow, and for that reason have also not posted in the thread you mention. However, I can tell you have done a tremendous job working with GEC to put out what seems to be their best pattern ever. It's on my must-have list, and hopefully I'll manage to pick one up in the future.

Cheers,
Daniel

 

[gunstockjack]

Dhoh! :black_eyed: Yuh hit me right in the sweet spot!!!! :cupcake: How can any barlow lover resist! Very generous of you Charlie, please count me in!

 

[meako]

Too good to resist. Had to check the post count.I'm on 5 .Must be sleep-posting. Mind you it is a thread of epic proportions.
These new pics are very hi-qual.
Good luck to everyone.

 

[Woodrow F Call]

I have enjoyed that thread, but have not posted in it as I don't have a decent barlow yet. I did like the the tutorial though. I see who the gabby ones in that thread are.

 

[Mink]

Well checked my post count and I seem to have made it by the hair on my chiny chin chin. A grand total of six.

I am in, and shall endeavor to make up for my woeful lack of participation.

 

[Double Ott]

My TC Barlows. Charlie has helped me add two more, actually three more that aren't in this picture. I'm not in this, I don't have enough posts. I lurk more than post. Just learning from all of you veteran collectors.

Up dated picture will be forth coming in a few days



Charlie, thank you for your help and kindness...

My regards, Tom C

 

[M.TEX]

Not an entry, but I would like to wish good luck to all playing...
